Staff:
Stacy Taylor: Stacy developed and taught three successful writing courses in 2002 for Universal Class. She won two instructor awards for the duration of her position and was ranked number forty-six out of over 4000 instructors. An accomplished writer herself, she has been published extensively online and has won several writing contests. Today she writes when she has time and co-edits, co-publishes two online publications: Chick Flicks Ezine, and HeavyGlow: a journal of flash fiction. Stacy can frequently be found sipping mocha breves from the local espresso stand and fighting her craving for Thai food.
Laurie O'Hare: A slightly tarnished Southern Bell, Laurie was a Junior Editor for Abstracts magazine. When the publication folded, she took a position as an Assistant Editor for 3F Publications, where she assisted in selecting fiction for their signature anthology series. During her time with 3F, she edited Steven Weidel's novel, Shara, which is currently available for purchase at Scrybe Press. Laurie took second place in the 2003 24-hour short story contest at Writer's Weekly, and she won third place in the 2004 Southern Halloween Short Story Contest at Lost in the Dark. Currently, she continues to sharpen her writing and editing skills, and co-edits, co-publishes Chick Flicks Ezine, and HeavyGlow: a journal of flash fiction.
Mailing Lists, etc
Since a lot of the Chick Flicks and HeavyGlow mailing lists overlap, I feel the need to clear a few things up.
First, a message from Stacy:
When I sent out the notice for the new issue yesterday, a large portion of the addresses on our list were visible. That was my mistake and only mine. I apologized for it. That's all I could do.
It would have all worked out all right except that the editor of another publication was on that list and he took it upon himself to pirate said list and to send his own announcement to our readers and contributors. While it may seem a small thing to some people, this blatantly rude and unprofessional behavior has really stunned me. I cannot apologize enough to make up for the loss of privacy although I wish I could. I can, however, scrap the mailing list and just hope that Mr. PH Madore of Lit Dispatch, or Dispatch Two, or whatever it's called will no longer bother the people who were on our list.
If any of you still trust us (me specifically) with your email address, you can resubscribe on the main page of HeavyGlow and/or by checking a radio button on our submission form when you send in your stories.
Again, you have my heartfelt apologies for my mistake. Unless you resubscribe you will no longer receive any email announcements from HeavyGlow.
Stacy Taylor,
Co-Editor
Next, I'd like to say that yesterday was the first time I actually untilized a large portion of CF mailing list. I was under the impression that those that submit to us actually like to read our publication, regardless of acceptance or not. This apparently is a wrong assumption. Most of the time, we can tell by the submissions themselves who has read our publication and who hasn't. But sometimes it's not so easy to see.
At any rate, I will no longer automatically add those who submit to our mailing list. Until I get a reliable system in place, submitters may state in their cover letters (or a line at the end of their bio if they use our form) whether or not they'd like to be placed on our list. Casual readers may drop us an email to chickflicksezine@yahoo.com and request to be placed on our list.
I apologize if I hurt anyone's feelings by sending them a notice they didn't wish to receive. It won't happen again.
