Contributors Wanted
Sat 19th May 2007
It has been an embarrassingly long time since LostCarPark has presented any news. LostCarPark is embarrassed, and wishes to rectify this, but it realises that it will need some help to do this.
If you have some news that you think might interest fans of "speculative" fiction, please drop us a note. We are interested in all aspects of Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror and related genres, and we would like to hear news about books, comics, movies, television, audio, or any other media. We would also like to hear about conventions and other events. We are particularly interested if there is an Irish connection, but will be happy to receive news from anywhere in the world. If you are producing a creative work or organising an event, this is a good opportunity to promote yourself.
We are hoping to develop a way for contributors to get credit for their work, and maybe eventually find the means to pay for contributions (even if it's only a token payment). However for now the best we can offer is to buy contributors a pint (or non-alcoholic beverage if you prefer) when we meet in the pub or convention bar.
Please use the feedback form to get in touch and either register your interest, or to send us news items.
