Editors:

Tjum Dao : Is probably the only expatriate from Hawaii we'll ever meet.  Japanese-Chinese on his mother's side, he describes his father as a 'burned out hippy white guy' who studied Eastern Religions and became a born again alcoholic. Tjum (who was born 'Kimo', his father changed his name when Tjum was 4 years old) describes himself a professional dropout and Electronics Technician.  He's been "messing around with computers since Kindergarten".  He's our resident Web Nerd.  (Aquarius Sun, Capricorn Moon, Libra Ascendant.)

dj otterson :  Born and raised in the Finger Lakes region of New York State. Married. Divorced. Raising a ten year old (Rachel). (Rachel's mother ran off to California and joined a cult, got out, remarried and is trying to straighten herself out.) Rachel may be handling this better than he is. He works for a Security agency, would rather be an all night guard somewhere than 'the designated scape goat' who has to do the scheduling and handle the last minute sick calls. (Scorpio Sun, Sagittarius Moon, Aquarius Ascendant.)

Jim Wellington : Born and raised mostly in Stratford, Connecticut. ('Only town in the universe with no personality whatsoever-') [ Stratford is the home of the Shakespeare Theatre, which nearly died of neglect. ] Jim has lived in Vermont, (He says, "Spending a couple formative summers in Vermont probably saved my life, or at least my sanity... or maybe my lack of faith in the word 'Sanity'(?)" ) , New Hampshire ("Where I learned that there are *LOTS* of intelligent and caring people in this country."), New York State ("Once you get away from NY City New Yorkers are sane, friendly, usually intelligent, and very much worth knowing.") and spent a few months thinking he could live in Alaska ("Alaskans are either Great or Dangerous, and some are both."). He's been writing creatively since he finished his first (non school assignment) story in sixth grade. Currently painting houses and taking a crash course in practical 'HTML'.  (Virgo Sun, Aries Moon, Cancer Ascendant.)

Aerendel Magazine is Published by a 'wannabe' Non-Profit Organization & is here to support Creativity of all kinds in everybody. If we had a ton of money we would pay contributors. Right now we hope it's enough for our contributors to see their 'stuff' up on the 'Web'.

We will have a kid's page soon.

We do not want to publish anything here that would upset any children or their parents. (We're already talking about the possibility of a 'sister site' for our more mature readers. (Both of them?) :) We've never published anything that we didn't believe had literary or social merit.

When we get any submissions from kids, we will try very hard to publish something here from any child who sends us stuff. (If a mother would stick it on a refrigerator, we'll publish it.)

Everything on this site will be copyrighted by its author, artist, photographer, and/or Aerendel Magazine. Anything published by a contributor will be copyrighted in his or her name..

If anyone published here makes it big, we'll let you know about it. (Joan has a couple books published, we'll tell you how to get them, if you're interested.)

Corrections:
 

We should be able to correct anything published here with a lot more ease that we could in the paper editions of the Magazine. [Top]    [Mag Contents]   [ --== Magazine Home Page @ Crosswinds ==--  ]

Revisions:
 

If we've published anything of yours and you have subsequently revised it, let us know and we will probably revise your original submission. Please don't add a string of 4 letter words and expect us to go along with that.

Submission Policies:

Send anything you'd like to see published here to: jimwellington@snet.net or djotterson@snet.net.
If you have incredibly long stuff we might not be able to publish it due to space limitations, but we'll figure something out. Contact Jim or dj through email or :

If your stuff is really terrible, we might embarrass the heck out of you and publish it anyway (or publish the least terrible poem or story you submit).

If you submit any Scanned or Digital Photographs, Scanned images of Paintings or other Drawings, please reduce them to manageable size before emailing them. (You can tell us how large the original is, we can't promise to publish anything as large as we would like, but we'll try to ensure that you will be happy with the way we present anything you send us (If we have the space).)

Uploading / Downloading Long Stuff:
 

We'll work something out.  We haven't yet.

Credit for Creativity:
 

Jim's cousin on Long Island recently mentioned what she thought was an unintended ommison on the part of her school system. Too many students were knocking themselves out on Art projects and only one or two were ever mentioned in the school newspaper and fewer received Awards for what they had done. Space permitting, we will publish photographs of as much student art work as we can. Paintings and drawings that can be scanned will be published, again, until we run out of space here.

Other:
 

We thought we should toss in a catch-all heading in case we forgot anything. This should be a busy place.

Catherine M. Harris Davies :  Cathi Davies lives in Toronto, works with computers, edits, writes and raises two children in her (spare?) time. She and her daughter wrote the 'Troll' story for a third grade project.

Eleanor (OohSparklyShiny) is a very real person, an Artist, a ponderer of significant thoughts and feeler of significant feelings. She is currently blessing the Alexandria, Virginia area with her presence (and presents?) and illuminating lots of lives on the infp-general "list". If you have no idea what that means, well, it's a safe place for INFP type people to hang out and play in the almost virtual world of modern email technology... where they won't confuse and irritate people of other, less tolerant types.

Trouble D Phoxx :  'Trouble the Fox' was Jim's nephew's invisible buddy as a child. dj liked the name so much he adopted it as a pseudonym  (Are we supposed to admit that?)

Stanley Freeboingen :  (The Original Stanley Freeboingen is a character in one of Jim's [unpublished] whackier Science Fiction / Fantasy novels.) (Our 'Stanley Freeboingen' teaches Psychology at a rather large University and has already had too many run-ins with the administration to let anyone there know he's got anything to do with a bunch of lunatics like us.)  (However- as it appears we may suddenly become 'respectable', 'Stanley' may soon enter the site without the wig, the funny nose & glasses, and without that funny beard (which he never seems to get in place).

Mary Ellen S. :  [(As of August 23, 1999)] Is a real, soon to be ten year old, young woman who, we have heard lately, is now keeping a journal of her deepest thoughts. This should be highly publishable in the near future. We wonder if we'll have to find her a pseudo nym, too. We'd like to se her have a normal, happy childhood. (If those two are not mutually exclusive these days.)

Joan Pond :  Is another real person. She's got a Doctorate in Psychology, helped create the Literary magazine at her High School, has been writing lots, has a couple books published, and, after churning out short stories for years tapped into an undiscovered deposit of poetry a year or so ago and has had poetry gushing forth ever since. (dj, who's been quite proliffic all along said, "She's putting us to shame," with her output.)

Zanzal : is an Artist, living in the Connecticut Hills. Next time we get our hands on a scanner we will scan in his original submission. It will look a lot better than it does now-
