As you may be aware, the current Editor has given up on his own writing. As a side effect of this, he is not particularly interested in other people's writing either. This is, of course, not a reassuring quality for someone in an editorial role. Therefore, is there anyone willing to volunteer for one or more of the following: 1: To take over the Magazine completely as a brand new Editor. 2: To join the Magazine as an Assistant Editor, to work in partnership with the current Editor in all areas of production. 3: To join the Magazine as a Sub Editor, taking over responsibility for one particular area. E.g. prose, poetry, features, design, DTP, publicity. 4: To take over the Magazine for one issue only, as a Guest Editor. To volunteer, please reply directly via the ABCtalesMag contact tab. If you wish to debate the future of the Magazine in more general terms, then by all means add your views to this thread.

First of all, I am very sad that John feels unable to continue. Secondly, I would comment that, perhaps, the way ahead for the magazine would be the Guest Editor option, in as much as this would at least give people an insight into the complexities of the job and, thereby, an appreciation of how difficult it is to satisfy 'all of the people, all of the time'. That said, being currently in the throes of a creative writing course, I would be unable to volunteer as a Guest Editor until the middle of next year, should I even be thought suitable for the job. I urge everyone to consider John's post very carefully and post their views on the way ahead. I, for one, think it would be very sad if the Magazine perished on the vine.
