However, with real experience of the pain and struggle that goes on in the world, the rage and the pretention really didn't do much for me to address these. For Modern Adventure I want works that lift the pain a little and replace it with joy and wonder. Within people's imaginations I want the realm of possibility to open up thus affirming the value of life. Pessimism and cynicism, though valid, are not habits of mind that create an ongoing commitment to life or a sense of fulfillment. This is not to say that I am looking for works of shallow optimism, but rather works of compassion that show an understanding of the inestimable value of beauty and humour.
Great art is a form of unconditional love.
All characters, all subjects, must be treated with equal care and respect for all experience and all expression is valid, just some works better for us than others. My literary genre preferences are fairytales, fables, fantasy, magic realism, science fiction, mystery, adventure, erotica, slice of life and lyric works. As far as fine art and photography goes my tastes are even more catholic. If what I have written strikes a chord with you, then please send me something. I am looking for quality work and we are interested in paying contributors in order to help ensure quality.
