Conclusion

Ahh, it's time to relax. All of the hard work for the issue is finished. I can upload it, kick back, and have a brew. I hope you enjoyed this issue, not that any of you will tell me whether you enjoyed it or not. But that's okay. You're still at least reading it, and that's all I ask.

It's times like this where I really get to thinking about just what it is I'm doing here. Ignoring for the moment my contributions to the 'zine and just looking at my task of editing each issue, am I actually creating anything? I'm just arranging pieces of other people's work into an arbitrary order and put a system of navigation to them. Would this be creating art? Obviously it won't rank up there with Picasso or Bach, but is it a worthwhile pursuit? I can't say for sure, but I know I enjoy it. Seeing firsthand the thoughts of all of these different writers (and I mean really firsthand. No one bothers with spell check anymore).
