  _InterText_ is a free, on-line bi-monthly fiction magazine. It 
  publishes material ranging from mainstream stories to fantasy to 
  horror to science fiction to humor. _InterText_ reaches 
  thousands of readers on six continents and is in its fourth year 
  of publication. The editors plan to continue publishing 
  _InterText_ for the foreseeable future.

InterText Formats
-----------------

  _InterText_ publishes in both ASCII/setext (plain text) and 
  PostScript (laser printer) formats.

  The ASCII/setext version can be read by anyone, because it's in 
  plain text. Users of setext browsers (like the Macintosh 
  application Easy View) can use their browser to index InterText 
  and read it more easily.
  
  The PostScript version of InterText is meant to be sent to a 
  PostScript or PostScript-compatible laser printer. This version 
  looks like a traditional print magazine, including cover art 
  (obviously unavailable to ASCII readers) and other layout 
  touches. If you have access to a PostScript printer and are 
  planning to read InterText on paper, this is clearly the way to 
  go.


How to Subscribe
----------------

  Send mail to intertext@etext.org. In the message body, specify 
  which of the following subscription lists you'd like to be on:
  
  * ASCII - Our ASCII issue will be sent directly to your 
  mailbox. (Size: 100-200K, usually split into two messages)

  * PostScript - Our PostScript issue will be sent to your 
  mailbox, compressed and uuencoded (Size: 300-400K, usually split 
  into 4-6 messages)
                 
  * Raw PostScript - You receive the raw PostScript file. Not 
  for the timid: some mailers will chew up the PostScript code, 
  and the raw uncompressed PostScript is big. (Size: 700-900K,
  in one gigantic lump file)
  
  * Notification List - For Internet users who would prefer to use 
  FTP to retrieve our issues (and save on net e-mail bandwidth), 
  for people who'd rather read our issues on the World Wide Web 
  or via Gopher, and for users of on-line services like 
  CompuServe and America Online who would rather download the 
  issue from a file area on their home system. Subscribers to 
  this list will just receive a brief note letting them know 
  when a new issue has been released.


For Prospective Writers
-----------------------

  If you're interested in writing for _InterText_, send a message
  to intertext@etext.org asking for the writers guidelines.

  Simply put, _Intertext_ accepts most kinds of fiction and will
  consider non-fiction work. However, the magazine is not
  equivalent to an unmoderated newsgroup; the editors accept only
  stories which they feel are of publishable quality.

  New writers are encouraged to submit; _InterText_'s place as an
  on-line publication allows us to give unpublished writers their
  first chances. The magazine has published numerous first-time
  writers, as well as several established authors.

  The electronic medium is faceless; all writers are given an
  equal hearing regardless of background or experience.


Back Issues
-----------

  If you'd like to see back issues of _InterText_, you can FTP
  them from:

> network.ucsd.edu     (128.54.16.3)   in /intertext

  or

> ftp.etext.org        (192.131.22.7)  in pub/Zines/InterText

  Login as anonymous, with your e-mail address as your password.

  If you can't FTP, send mail to intertext@etext.org and ask how
  to "FTP by mail." FTP is the fastest, most efficient way to get
  back issues, since the only other way of getting them is by
  having an editor send them to you by hand, and that is a long
  and time-consuming process.

  If you use gopher, you can find issues at

> ftp.etext.org       in  /Zines/InterText

  On the World-Wide Web, point your WWW browser to this URL:

> http://ftp.etext.org/Zines/InterText/

  If you subscribe to CompuServe, you can read our issues in the 
  Electronic Frontier Foundation Forum, accessible by typing GO 
  EFFSIG. The issues are located in the "Zines from the Net" 
  section of EFFSIG.

  On America Online, issues are available in Keyword: PDA, in
  (Mac users): Software Libraries->Ezine Libraries->Writing->InterText
  (PC users):  Palmtop Paperbacks->Ezine Libraries->Writing->InterText

  On GEnie, we're located in the file area of SFRT3, the Science 
  Fiction and Fantasy Roundtable.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to mail the
  editors at intertext@etext.org.
