Letter from the editor

Greetings, fellow adventurers ^_^

         If you want an action-packed story, consider the adventures in pulp fiction. It's been around for a long time in many guises and genres, including sci-fi, fantasy and horror, mystery and western. These genres are often blended in pulp fiction to create cross-bred action-packed sub genres. Consider telling your story with one or more elements from other genres to give your stories an original twist. You'll see what I mean if you read, for example, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Lovecraft, Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, and Ray Bradbury.

         *BulletG* Create one or more characters worthy of pulp fiction, those larger than life. Think about Tarzan and Doc Savage, Philip Marlowe, the Avengers. Your characters, both heroes and villains, can be physically strong or mentally superior. They may be both. Characters in pulp fiction are very heroic or extremely evil.

         *BulletR* Write epic tales. Pulp fiction stories are expansive. Think about the sword and sorcery, fire and brimstone approach to writing. Pulp fiction features a quest, or the fate of the world (whether in whole or a microcosmic town or city) depends upon the actions of the heroes of your pulp fiction tale.

         *BulletB* Write with a heavy dose of action or drape your stories in mystery. These two elements are important to writing pulp fiction. The action in your pulp fiction should consistently bring your readers to the edge of their seats. If there is a mystery at the heart of the story, your readers engage in the pursuit with the characters.

         *Bullet* Pulp fiction invites a serial, like writers did in early pulp fiction. A cliff hanger ending here will make readers (and your characters) come back for more. Most importantly, pulp fiction is fun, so have as much fun writing it as you do reading it.

         Like I said, Pulp lives on as a dynamic vivid form of storytelling. If you've an enticing story or serial in your writer's closet, consider the following publications as a venue, and do share your success with us
