Konnitchiwa!

- faster than life is back.  Our e-mail is working again. Looking forwards to hear from you all.
We have put new stories on the
webpage and discontinued the print zine. Soon the webpage will contain the full thing, also Simons's essays and book reviews about literature of 
gay or transgender interest.
In the meantime I will participate at the WORLDCON 2005 in Glasgow. Only afterwards your recent submissions and also the not so recent ones will be handeled and all your mail answered. Amazon has discontinioued the free book coupon service, so bad luck for all who could not receive one in time.
After the con I have holiday until the end of August, so if you are not at the Worldcon, then we will in contact with all you writers and subscribers afterwards.
See you in Glasgow!
Sam
PS

We put  one review on this site too. And an non-fiction article about FTMs and hormones, centering on medical issues: FAQ;

Also on-line  the long announced interview with  Terry Pratchett. 
You'll find the books and stories in the lower left corner. 

(yes, this pic does shows me, was taken 3 years back though, but maybe you recognize me still at the Worldcon in Glasgow!) Sam: one of the editors.)

It will take some time until we have uploaded all the stuff selected for the print issues of the future, however.

Visit amazon books from this site, as this will support FTL, which is a no profit site by the way. 

Next on-line edtion in about 6-8 weeks, so bookmark this page.

Sam and Simon.
