FANTASY

So, what am I getting at that would be of value to writers on the Internet? We do not need a reason to write. Writing is what we do because it is who we are. Pariah Online Magazine, and the other non-paying markets, would not be getting any material otherwise. Write because it is what you want to do.

Pariah Online Magazine was originally created as kind of a writer's community. I wanted to use it as a conduit for publishers to find new talent. That never came about. There also is not that much chance of getting the financing to turn this into a paying market. "Email Marketing" had me take down the comment system and I am being cautious about rebuilding it.

This is still a place where you can showcase your early work. I have begun taking email addresses off the site to protect the writers from getting email about products so bad that you need 100 million email addresses to find people dumb enough to pay for them. However, I will forward legitimate comments that I receive. When you develop your skills, I fully expect that you will move on to bigger, more rewarding, markets. This is one of those markets where the big names of the future get their start.

God only knows how much longer I can hold Pariah Online Magazine together. I will do my best with what I am given. Readers, please do not write us off just because we do not yet have names that you know. The biggest names in literature were once unknowns. This might even be the place where you actually meet your favorite author.
