Check this, was sorting thru my old folders and found the original proof copies of a computer / entertainment fanzine I produced when I was 17 (11 years ago). Also there was the unreleased issue 2.

CDi stuff, Spectrum stuff and some seriously odd film reviews. A far cry from Sinfully Twisted magazine that I edit now :lol:

Might even scan and upload them to Purpleverse for a giggle.

Totally pointless post but it made me laugh. Damn I thought that magazine was so professional. Had Udo Kier on the cover (Blood for Dracula).

For the record, the mag was called "RELICS" and was on a kinda glossy photo copied paper. Only £1.80 as well.

As it's a rare beast, I'll Ebay it I think and start the bidding @ £1000 :rolleyes:

Any takers? :blink:

No poetry? Very good. Get it online for us then. Pretty please ;)

Poetry... Now theres something I've got to either kill or swallow. So many of my contributors write poetry but I must confess, hardly anyone I know actually likes it :lol:

Me thinks I'll end up doing off shoot publications for poetry.

Relics tho will be scanned shortly and uploaded for your viewing and laughing pleasure.

Just be gentle with it :rolleyes:

Had a bit of poetry published myself actually.

Although there's some stuff I would never publish as it's too personal.

Well that's something to be thankful for...

;) :lol:

Poetry can be good therapy, helping you cope with problems.

I've also written a lot of environmental/political poetry, which has been published.

When I first started Purpleverse.com, alot of the site WAS poetry. Over the years it's gone mainly fiction. It is a personal thing and not everyone can relate to the writers words.

Perhaps we can have a poetry thread on here? :rolleyes:

An Ode to a Nimbus 380Z (coughs....)

Oh mighty metal keyboard
Oh mighty 8 inch drives
I've typed in 6 pages of input
Oh bastard processor don't die!
Your CP/M confuses me
Your cables are oh so thick
I thought you'd serve a purpose
In reality you can't do dick!

I thank you :lol:

Hehe, good stuff. I seem to remember a website where people put computer/gaming stuff in place of the actual lyrics, but I can't find it at the moment so I'll inform if i dig it up.
