About our Zine

Over the Top Stories is a free bi-monthly digital zine meant to encourage science fiction creators of all kinds to share their work, whether that means writing, illustration, cosplay, or even digital resources like wallpapers, cursors, stamps, or buttons here on our Neocities.

We'd like to serve as a platform for creators of all skill levels and backgrounds looking to spread their stories, ideas, and passions. Over the Top Stories aims to be a collaborative space where creativity knows no bounds and encourage cross-disciplinary collaborations and welcome contributors who blur the lines between traditional mediums. Whether you're combining written narratives with artwork or creating interactive experiences we can help bring light to. In addition to welcoming diverse forms of creative expression, we extend an invitation to writers who wish to think critically about the field of science fiction. Over the Top Stories wants to provide a dedicated space for thought-provoking essays, whether it's diessections of societal implications of advanced robotics and terraforming or delving into the psychology of alien encounters and xenobiology.

I'm the creator of Over the Top Stories! I wanted to start this zine because as I've grown and gotten to know more about early fandom and internet history I've come to deeply admire the pioneers behind early Star Trek and furry fandom zines. My goal is to create an ongoing collaborative project and a place to showcase diverse creators. I don't just want this zine to be another consumable product, I want to encourage reader involve and engagement with creators they admire. I abhor the culture around online creativity right now that sees creatives as means to churn out products and profits, I want to build something that encourages engagement with creatives on a much more personal level. I myself am a self-taught digital artist, an amateur writer, hobbyist media analyzer, with a background in biology. I love romance, xenobiology, and political intrigue.
