Space. How do you tell a story evokes the wide wonderful weirdness of space when you have so little room to do it in? Look at this tiny rectangle with such narrow margins, its edges looming so close, so claustrophobic.

Happy New Year from AE!

As one last look back at 2011 before we get completely swept up into 2012 and everything it brings, we’ve prepared a short podcast featuring a selection of stories that we published last year. We hope you enjoy:

The AE 2011 Podcast

Please enjoy this free download of AE #1, which includes the Aurora-nominated story "Touch the Sky, They Say" by Matt Moore.

We are pleased to announce the release of AE Micro 2011.

In many ways, this microzine is the one-year anniversary of AE. There are any number of yardsticks we might use that would date our origin either earlier or later, but the first tangible thing to come out of AE was AE Micro.

The theme for last year’s microzine was, simply, “Micro.” It was appropriate not only for the format but as a reflection of AE as a whole , at the time little more than a germ in the minds of the founders and of the great many of you who saw its potential. For this, our second edition of AE Micro, the theme is “Second.”

Happy Holidays from everyone at AE!

As a special event to mark the wrap of our first quarterly issue, we have put together a podcast featuring all the original fiction we have published since our launch.
