It is with great regret that the following must be written. I only wish I could see better to type it up.
Ethan Thomas, the editor of Thaneros Online Magazine, has always been a group entity, one comprised of two writers sharing a pseudonym as well as intimate living space. One of those writers--namely myself--has received serious health news over the last week. I have learned that I need far more than a change in prescription to fix my recent eye difficulties; I am in the second stage of diabetic retinopathy, and the sight that has been lost may not return. This means that I must prioritize time spent on the computer, and at present the magazine takes up the majority of that time, leaving very little for writing itself. Given that this condition is generally progressive and that I am now suffering other diabetic complications as well, we have decided it best to focus on writing instead. Therefore, as of today, Thaneros Online Magazine is no more. While we plan to leave archived stories up for one year, as per our contracts, should any of our writers wish for their work to be removed we will do so immediately. Please--submit elsewhere. You write beautifully, and your work deserves to be read. Working with you was a greater pleasure than either of us can express.
Yours,
One Half of Ethan Thomas

Best Bondage Erotica has shipped. You can see "A Certain Understanding" listed on the cover page. To be honest, I'm wetting my pants just a little. I've wanted to be published by this press for so very long, and knowing that I will soon hold the book in my hands feels odd somehow. And to think it all began with a love letter!

Also, Thaneros is always seeking dark erotica. By that we do not mean just erotic horror. We would love to see erotica set in dark-fantasy and dark-sci-fi settings, as well dark erotica that is more "mainstream" in nature, i.e. pieces that feature bdsm and consensual power exchange. Feel free to query the editor at thaneros@shaw.ca should you have any questions.

Despite this month's lack of reviews, Thaneros received its most hits ever this past week--1,812 unique reads in a seven day span. Go Van Michaels! Go us! It simply proves what I have always hoped to be true, that our fiction is our greatest strength.

Oh--movement!
1. Despite a lack of reviews, Thaneros received its most hits ever this past week--1,812 unique reads in a seven day span. Go Van Michaels! Go us!
2. A half-assed story idea has begun to generate dreams. I suspect porn may be on the horizon, in between bouts of editing the novel.
3. The submission to Daddies is on its way. Fingers crossed. Even if that story isn't snapped up, that anthology will certainly be in my shopping cart.
4. The honeymoon was fanastic. Not without hitches, but I don't think I ever want it to end.
