We do both, when there are enough funds. All past publications are available by clicking on the Published Artists page. So because we make no profit, the journal is offered free to the public. And although we appreciate the offer, no donations are accepted at this time.
Submissions containing erotica, racial slurs, derogatory names, and obscenities are not welcome and are deleted on sight.

"Kaj" is a male Greek name meaning Earth, pronounced KAH-ee. It seems to be related to the female Greek name Kaia, which also means earth. "Mahkah" is a Sioux male name, meaning Earth. The conjunction of the names, meaning "Earth of Earth," came from a character of an unpublished Fantasy fiction novel the Editor wrote.
