Sam, in a bit of a snit, turned towards the voice, "I'm sure that I don't 
know what you are talking about! AND Furthermore.. that little dwarf..eh..
Bint? He's on 'is own.. I've nuthin' to with 'im." Further mumblings could
be heard from Sam, as he munched on a loaf of bread that appeared out of
the darkness, ".. added them to your own.. who the 'ell does he think..".

A piercing cry ripped through the muffled silence of the shadows. Sam, startled,
let go his loaf of bread, and made a desperate attempt to recapture it. The 
loaf juggled from one hand to the next, bouncing off his chest as it travelled.
Sam's grasping hands whipped through the air, but the canter of his mount made
the task near impossible. With a lunging grasp Sam's hand closed on his meal.
The smile creeping across his face quickly melts away as he realizes that
in his current position if his feet were not anchored in the stirrups
he was in for a nasty fall. They weren't.

Sam felt the impact, and heard the crack of bone as his shoulder collided with
the dark ground. Instinct told his body to curl in upon itself, and as the 
other horses rode about and over him, Sam cursed his choice of pitch black 
clothing for the evening. As he layed there, re-living the tumble, his thoughts
centered on how quiet the fall had been. He hadn't even called out. A sobering
thought blazed within his mind.. "Good God.. they didn't stop!". 

With his uses left arm dangling beside him, Sam rose to his feet. He surveyed 
the darkness around him, and tried to determine which route to follow. 

  Sam, in the habit of talking aloud when he was nervous, let out a sigh..
  "I guess they went this way...". 

With that Sam set out on foot..

	I have a friend who desperately wants certain Cinefex back issues.
These, for those of you who might know, are the ones that even Cinefex
don't have any more of (or is that doesn't?). If you have some information
about Cinefex, please mail it to tom@facl.mcgill.ca, and he will dance

Date: Sat, 9 Jan 1993 02:37:11 GMT

Hey kids!  It's time for a SHAMELESS PLUG

Issue #1 of the Riot Act is finally available! the Riot Act is all
about fiction of a considerably darker nature and features authors
local to the South Bay Area, here in Silicon Valley, California. 

The premiere issue includes "Jerk 'n Squirt" by Tristan A. Farnon,
"Directions to the Horse's Ass (appendix)" by Matt Waldron, 
poetry from ariel_s@west.darkside.com, and more items of interest.

We are seeking submissions from anybody and everybody.  We like
"dark fiction" best.  Original poetry, articles on censorship, 
experimental photography, hedgehogs, serial killers, crackers,
ads for bulletin board systems and zines, music book and film
reviews are all welcome.  We can't pay you, but we'd be happy to
mail you a few free issues and a couple of issues to come.

As the fine print reads, "All rights returned to individual
contributors upon publication."

the Riot Act is published bi-monthly and is available from
P.O. Box 4436, Mountain View, California 94040.  Subscriptions
will be available soonishesque, when we get off the ground.  
Please don't send original work - if you'd like things returned,
include an SASE.  Individual issue prices are $2. Checks should
be made out to "Harrison Page / the Riot Act".  Foreign orders
should be made in U.S. dollars - thanks.

Issue #2 will be available in late February.  Submissions
should arrive before January 29th, 1993.  U.S. Mail is fine,
but harrison@west.darkside.com or harrison@adobe.com is even
better.

the Riot Act is, in part, sponsored by the Dark Side BBS at
+1 408 245 SPAM.  "A telecommunications tradition since 1985."
the Riot Act is *not* affiliated with Adobe Systems.  Honest.

I vote yes.  The section on publishing your own zine is helpful

         I'd just like to announce that an irregular, untitled, electronic
newsletter announcing the various live performances (so far confined to
Southern California) and recorded releases of my band, *The Primordial
Undermind* is available to any netter who would like to receive it. To avoid
conflict of interest accusations, I'll let some cleverly extracted out-of
context quotes describe the group:

                "the Primordial Undermind...takes a gooey-rich
                psychedelic sound and indelicately drags it through
                the mud"        - College Music Journal

                "Primordial Undermind is the masterchild of ex-
                Crystalized Movements guitarist Eric Arn who sound
                like a slightly less notable version of his old
                band...estimable"   - Forced Exposure

                "these guys are talented and come up with a pretty
                good barrage of surfy/garagey riffing...I'd watch
                out for them"     - Flipside

                "the Primordial Undermind is pop in the finest
                psychedelic tradition...someday the Undermind's
                name will be on the lips of many enlightened folk,
                mark my words"     - the Altered Mind

                "ambient punk stuff, nothing that'll drive you to
                collide with your neighbor, but still with attitude
                all-a-sneering. Shuffle your feet, sway your bean stuff...
                This has been called "psych-grunge"...I prefer to call
                it prime-ordeal."    - Sound

  So if you or anyone you know would like to be informed of Primordial doings,
 simply send email addresses to EARN@juliet.caltech.edu.  If anyone has any
 questions, we'll make a FAQ.  Thanks for listening.

I'm glad y'all could appreciate the mysterious letter from Singapore.

Yes, F5 *will* be returning on paper!  Seth Friedman of Food For Thought is
doing most of the work on the print side.  The issue should be returning
from the printer by Friday and they should be mailed out next week.  If you
wish to communicate with him, his address is PO Box 170099  SF CA
94117-0099.  His email address is sethf5@well.sf.ca.us

But, the help that we need.  Seth received this utterly awesome zine, a
small collection of poetry from a born-again Xtian named Nate Faulkner.  Mr.
Faulkner committed suicide on Xmas eve 1976, so this work has been published
quite posthumously.  The title of the work is "An Honest Hate:  Memoirs of
the Plum Creek Evangelical Church"  It was published by Dead Dog Press of
Warren Ohio in 1992.

There is NO ADDRESS ANYWHERE!  So, please, anybody who knows how to contact
Dead Dog Press of Warren Ohio, let us know!  Seth and I both hate poetry,
but this stuff is amazing!  An example

David Gall

David was once a happy child
and everywhere there was wonder.
Laughter in a field of tall golden wheat,
the flashing beauty of redwing's
  should patch,
the comedy of cumbersome stag beetle,
the wonder of the stars, and in a humble
  fossil shell
the sum of the Divine beauty.

Then came Plum Creek -- and conviction of sin.
And always the terror of the Unpardonable Sin.
The blackness descended,
there was no more smiling,
only the dark years,
the gnawing agony.
Then the shotgun's flaming epiphany
and the flight to an oblivion
beyond the great black talons of God.

The judgement of God is hard
even though the sinner never knew the sin.

10 poems about the members of Plum Creek Evangelical Church, dedicated "To
Rev. L. L. B.  -- in Hell"

And we don't know how to tell the world about it.

What did you think of the first issue?  


How do you think it can be improved?

What subjects would you like to see covered?

Would you be interested in a subscription to the paper version,
which includes the first-rate photos and cartoons we can't include

Hey.
 
In the fine tradition of zines, Eric's swiped a quote from one I work
on....so I swiped it back.  Actually, SOUND#10 has just come
out...interviews with Peter Chung (Aeon Flux), Mudhoney and Mary's
Danish...and not much else.  Some poetry...several ads...artwork...2
commentary pieces...and a 2page "calendar" for the LinOma (lincoln and
omaha) area.  I'm not happy with much more than the interviews, but
times have been tough since we didn't have use of the university's
computers and laser printers.  If you'd like to get a copy of this 12
page festivity (just for the interviews, I know)...it's $2 to me
(postage 75c, envelope 25, $1 for gas and to further the cause so we
won't have to have damn advertisers).  If you can provide your own
postage and a large envelopee...just send a buck.  9018 Westridge
Dr./Omaha,NE 68124 is my address...or you can send it to the PO Box.  My
girly, Robyn, is the one who does the mailing, though...so it'd be
quicker the first way.
 
I truly despise having a high-circulation paper (20,000 is high for me)
and having to have a measly 12 pages.  Thus...
 
I'm starting another zine, one that'll reflect my own vision...and most
importantly, one that'll I'll control.  I'm checking out formats,
looking for one that'll offer about a 500-1000 circulation for about as
many dollars.  I'd like to have stock covers w/2 colors...insides would
be 1 color (not neccessarily black on white).  I'm going to call it END
PROCESS.  If you can suggest any formats or national chains that do
cheap pressing...let me know.
 
EP will be (is) zeroing in on the imagery thang...perdee pixchers.  It
will feature line art mainly with the rest of the stuff half-toned into
grey.  I will be accepting art via GIF, JPG and TIFF formats for
now...hopefully a wider variety in the future.  (THIS JUST IN: Ed will
now accept artwork in traditional PHOTOCOPY(tm) format via snail-mail)
Issues will be thematic....the first being erotica and technology.  If
you have artwork fitting this description...please send it.
 
I'll be sure to post here when issue #1 is produced, probably in early
March.
 
In the meantime...submissions for SOUND can be send to the PO BOX below,
submissions for END PROCESS can be sent to that 9018 address.
