Update #16: AE is OPEN

Posted on May 16, 2010

How quickly things can change. It has been two months since we launched this Kickstarter project, and nearly a year since AE was first conceived. That time has passed in a flash.

But that’s not what we’re talking about. We’re talking about how, as the clock on AE funding ticked down, it looked like we weren’t going to make it, despite the boundless generosity of our backers. We’re talking about last-second comebacks and Act V, Scene V game-changers.

There are many people who need to be thanked, plans that need to be laid out and inexorable machineries that need to be kicked into gear. But all that is for tomorrow. Tonight we just want to tell you that, as of right now, AE – The Canadian Science Fiction Review is open for submissions.
