From the Editorial
I’m the original person who said she would never be caught dead editing a zine. My constantly-publishing friends complain endlessly about the hopeless quest for (to them) good stories, finding artists with time to produce art, printer problems, and difficulty in reproducing said art, not to mention a hundred other things that could go wrong and do.
Well, you know those statements about being caught dead. You’re holding the zine. Obviously, I was.
Wolfshead came to be because I was walking up a cliff path two summers ago with one of the writers whose work is herein contained, and she was narrating to me the plot for her story. I thought it was too good an idea not to be written, and we were deploring the lack of good places to publish it, since no one then (1984) had yet put out a strictly Robin Sherwood magazine. We agree that Wolfshead would be a quality item, and I hope you do too. I invite your commentary on the stories, typed, please, so that I can distribute copies to the authors.
I expect that I will collect a lot of flak for including Teleny’s story, In'sha’llah. It seems strange to be justifying the freedom of the press, especially the amateur press, but I have published it because I think it is a good story. It is definitely what you’d call an adult situation, but I think it was handled in good taste. In'sha'llah is speculative fiction, as is anything not broadcast in the series.
All of my thanks to Terri Beckett and Chris Power for brainstorming on the project with me (and getting the limericks here in the nick of time), Carol McPherson for art and mental support, Jackie Leeper for demon typesetting, and Bill Fawcett, for what he calls ‘logistics’, and to Esta Charkham, her cast and crew, for providing RoS for us to speculate on, mull over and dream on.
