Dear readers,

We have been working hard on getting the new series for the Aethercast through production. Currently our master musician, Churchwarden, is working hard on making my voice sound good as well as adding in dramatic music.

While that is going on we are also looking at making fictional and non-fictional commercials to add to the Aethercast. What these commercials are going to be for is adding a little Victorian flavor to the Aethercasts. So I am asking you good readers to please visit the forums here and post your suggestions and/or actual recorded commercial.

I am also glad to see more stories being added. Here is a sample of some of the stories recently added,

 ”Feeling both relieved and ashamed in equal measure, Ptulem left the High Temple by the servants’ entrance. A cage-wagon full of people rattled past him as he walked.
  It was not always like this, he reflected. There had been a ban on technology and the practicing of Science for as long as he could remember, and people were always being taken away to be cleansed for their sins; that was a part of life in Pi. Rightfully so, he reminded himself. But the sheer amount of arrests, the papyrus flyers, the violence on the streets … things had changed dramatically over the past six years. He shivered. The Demiurge had become far more wrathful, if it were possible, than his old self.”

 Excerpt from The Demiurge’s Demise by Snark MacQuarrie, Esq.

We also have an ongoing publication from Dr. Tobias Archer, a good colleague of mine. We of the Aethercast staff are also beginning to write a collective story, but more to come on that at a later time.

  The story in a week contest, I have been toying with this idea for a while now and I believe we have developed a good enough base of writers and people interested to actually start this process moving. Please visit this link onto the forums for more information.

  The last little piece of news is not from Madlove and Company but our good friends over at Steampunk Magazine with their release of Volume 4.

It is with much joy and relief that we unveil the latest issue of SteamPunk Magazine, issue #4! Learn how to turn lead into gold or sew a hat. Discover the secret worlds of many of steampunk’s finest authors. Peek into the brain of authors and musicians and punks galore!
From the Steampunk Magazine Webpage. Looks like its going to be full of good stuff. So I would suggest visiting them and checking it out if you haven’t. You can download it for free or you can have them ship you a copy for a small fee.

I thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoy our little community here.
Yours,

Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen,

Abney Park is gearing up to release their latest CD titled Lost Horizons.

Here is a quote from Brass Goggles post by Abney Park.
“Go to our website, and scroll down on the spash
page. You can hear the first quarter of every song
right from that little steampunky machine:

Abney Park

”

You might be wondering what it has to do with stories. Well this CD tells a story as its sung. From what I have heard it’s smashing.

Dear readers,

We have been busy in our experiments and have begun human experimentation. Have recorded the first Aethercast we have discerned no ill effects to our reader a one Toji Chiba. We shall keep a watchful eye on this subject over the coming week as we prepare the musical track for the Aethercast he recorded.

On another front. I have decided I will initiate the story in a week section. The story in a week will be a flash fiction story and we will randomly select a genre for the story to be written under.

The story will have have to be written during that week. We will announce the genre at the beginning of the week. Each story will be then read by our readers and there will be a poll that rates how they thought the story over all.

If you’re interested in this subject please feel free to leave comments or discuss it in the forums.

Yours,

Dr Veleck Madlove

 Greetings all,
Here on the front page of Madlove and Company I plan to do a weekly poll of submitted flash fiction or short stories.  The winner of the week will get their story posted to the front page of the site. 

  Let me get feedback from you on what you on how you would like to see this judged.  Also I might come up with some small prizes for the winner but I don’t know what it will be at the moment right now.  Suggestions are welcome.

Forum Post on the contest. This is the best place to discuss the contest.

  Well I didn’t back up like the item suggested and wasn’t all that surprised when I broke it.  So now I have reloaded WordPress and began fixing everything I didn’t have backed up.  Good thing is have I kept a close copy on my computer as I ftped it to the server so thats great.

If anyone wants to contribute anything such as a link or information feel free to send in the suggestion to madlove@madloveandco.com .
