I have been very pleased watching this project take off. I’ve seen many other Star Frontiers projects pop up and fade away over time. Some were very well thought-out, some were... well...

So what makes this project any different? I’ve been wondering about that. I worry that after all these months of hard work, the support for the project will fizzle. But each month I get surprised by last minute submissions that make my jaw drop. The creativity and talent of the Star Frontiers fan community amazes me.

I think that’s the difference between this project and those that all have met ill fates. First of all, it’s not “my” project anymore. In fact, in this issue, the only actual articles that I wrote were few in number (though I did do a lot of custom art). The difference is you: the reader. Each issue gets downloaded MANY times (in the month of May, issue #4 was downloaded 1,206 times!) and so your talent and creativity is being placed in the hands of many readers. I get feedback from many people who tell me that they enjoy the collaborative works of this webzine – even if they don’t particularly care for the actual game upon which it’s based!

So where are we headed? I’d like to see more creative writing in the future (and am excited that not one but two people have offered to start a monthly serial). Other than that, just more goodies like we’ve been providing.
