I just hope that the genre becomes an integral part of the local literary landscape rather than a mere "fringe" element, although if it does, it'll be largely due to their efforts.<BR/><BR/>I'll check out the sites you recommended, although I think I've received references to them before already...<BR/><BR/>And with regards to "Regiment", that one was more a happy accident than anything else, I suppose.

Met with Dean Alfar, his wife, Nikki, Vin Simbulan, and Andrew Drilon the other night; through them, I got my hands on Dean's spec. fic. 1 and read "Regiment" there. Small world, really! They were helping me sort out the direction Phil Genre Stories was going to take (Dean's my feature story for issue 1) and they were very supportive and encouraging, and I am very grateful. As for weblogging, I think there exist sites like philstories.com and filipinowriter.com, in case you want to check them out.pgenrestorieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16488972802998454637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307761.post-1158813659810555342006-09-21T12:40:00.000+08:002006-09-21T12:40:00.000+08:00pgenrestories: It wasn't an original suggestion, a...pgenrestories: It wasn't an original suggestion, admittedly. A number of quarters have already attempted to jump-start group blogging initiatives... you just happen to have a definite direction in mind.<BR/><BR/>With regards to submissions, I'm hoping to develop a few in the near future. There are a lot of avenues for fiction that suddenly cropped up in the last few months...<BR/><BR/>Jac: I'm working on it. :)Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300224368246428017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307761.post-1158812367172996612006-09-21T12:19:00.000+08:002006-09-21T12:19:00.000+08:00Hello Sean!

We are thinking that somewhere down the line we will put up a website where samples of what has been printed will be put up (with the author's permission, of course), but for now, we're concentrating on print. Hopefully, something will be out by Dec., and we hope that you, as a writer, might find the time to send something in? Thanks again!pgenrestorieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16488972802998454637noreply@blogger.com
