Dreamforge Magazine - Anvil Issue 7: The Meaning of Life (DreamForge Anvil 2022 Book 1) Mar 22, 2022

by Scot Noel, Grant Carrington, Marisca Pichette, Wulf Moon, C.J. Peterson, Crystal Crawford, Elena Pavlova, Tammy Komoff, David Hankins

$2.99

DreamForge is an independent, small press Magazine of positive Science Fiction and Fantasy. Our goal is to publish fiction and commentary that embody, in one way or another, these essential principles: integrity and decency, compassion and creativity, intelligence and inventiveness, the rule of law and liberty under the law, the dignity of the individual, and the power of synergy to unleash the potential of disparate individuals and communities for the betterment of all. We do not subscribe to hopelessness or futility as a vision of the future or of any setting or situation.

In all worlds and times, our tales revolve around those individuals and groups who bring meaning and value to the world, whose actions are of consequence, and whose dreams are the vanguard of things to come. Whether you call that Solarpunk, Hopepunk, or just DreamForge stories, you’ll find them here.

Time and space are indifferent to our existence, yet without our struggles to bring it meaning, the whole of the cosmos is irrelevant. Inside each mind waits a universe. We can be the creators that dream the world.

When you see the words “The Meaning of Life,” does it call to mind the purpose of humans in the universe? Was there a meaning for Homo habilis? Is there one for the hyacinth in our backyard? For the populations of chemolithotrophic bacteria found in deep sea hydrothermal vents? Is the meaning of life to further the existence of life itself?

by Thomas Ha, James Cato, James Blakey, Subodhana Wijeyeratne, David Vonderheide, Marisca Pichette, Joshua Green, Evan Marcroft, Laura Yash, Steve Haywood

$4.99

The goal of speculative fiction has always been to examine the real world through the lens of the imaginary. By considering what could be, we gain a better understanding of what is.

The Colored Lens strives to do exactly that. By publishing short stories and serialized novellas every quarter in genres ranging from fantasy, to science fiction, to slipstream or magical realism, we hope to help our readers see the world just a bit differently than before they came to us.

Featuring works by Thomas Ha, James Cato, James Blakey, Subodhana Wijeyeratne, David Vonderheide, Marisca Pichette, Joshua Green, Evan Marcroft, Laura Yash, Steve Haywood, and Aaron Ward.

Edited by Dawn Lloyd and Daniel Scott
