We also have contributions covering “Art from Madness”, “Real Life Vampires” (we’re serious!), “Tarot for Goths”, another installment of correspondence between Prof. Fether and Isis, more photography from Beatrice Schleyer, and coverage of recent actions by radical goths.

After a busy summer and fall of adventure and radical activity and then a long winter’s nap, we are currently going into production of Issue #2 of Graceless. Any contributors still needing to provide us with art work or photos, please send that in immediately.

Deadline lifted

We’ve moved to a different model with publishing the magazine: we will accept contributions continuously and release the journal roughly once a year, perhaps slightly more often. We’ve already got a ton of great content for #2 and we’re very excited about it. So feel free to contribute!

The first issue of Graceless is coming along beautifully. We’ve already got some excellent, insightful interviews and articles, and we’re starting to hear from more and more people.

I personally hope that we’ll get the first issue out by the new year, but I have to admit that, what with the time-lag of getting things to and from a printer, it isn’t incredibly likely. Sometime in January is more realistic, but we’ll certainly continue to try.

One problem that we’re running into is that we’re not skimping on content at all: it will most likely be 108 pages of content, no ads.

So we really do need your contributions: we’re looking for columnists and photographers, bands and artists and fashion designers… anything, really. contact us at graceless [at] graceless.info
