Aqui está a minha história online no dia de hoje: a not so usual request
A história já tinha sido inicialmente publicada na antologia The Ironic Fantastic #2, mas como o universo 1.2.rc2 tem muitas histórias envolvidas desejei dar a conhecer a primeira aventura.
Once more Fiona Duffin talks about The Ironic Fantastic #3 at her amazing blog.
The post have also another pearls. I recommend the reading.
É com imenso orgulho que vejo referido no blog do meu escritor português de eleição, David Soares, algumas palavras sobre a revista editada por mim, The Ironic Fantastic #3.
São demonstrações como estas que compensam o pesadelo que foi editar este número. Obrigado.
sepulturas dos pais
Aproveito para publicitar a capa de «Sepulturas dos Pais», escrito por David Soares e desenhado por André Coelho. Uma edição da Kingpin Books, com lançamento previsto para 25 de Outubro, no Amadora BD.
Although the release date of The Fantastic Ironic #3 is scheduled to 07/09/2014 I put today a preview link. The objective is to correct potential errors that may still exist despite the reading and rereading. On the scheduled day will be posted the download link.

Coloco o link para o programa de rádio Giggle & Gossip no qual Fiona Duffin falou do projecto The Ironic Fantastic e de moi. Um momento muito gratificante. Adorei. Um dos pontos altos deste ano.
O programa pode ser ouvido no MixCloud, aqui.
Aproveito para fornecer o link para duas antologias que têm textos meus.
oulipo pornobongo 3: anthology of erotic wordplay
Ambas publicadas pela excelente editora Black Scat Books
The IRONIC FANTASTIC is a proposed series of ebook anthologies that will showcase international absurdist, quirky, unusual, whimsical and ironic fiction from new and established writers. Each issue will appear irregularly and it will always be free. This project was inaugurated by the writer Rhys Hughes.
I’m after fantastical/absurdist ‘comedies’ 1000 words or less. By ‘comedies’ I don’t mean that they have to be funny: wistful, thoughtful and droll are fine, so are weird and quirky. I’m thinking of a broader definition of the term, in the same way that Nabokov’s brilliant Laughter in the Dark is a ‘comedy’ but it didn’t make me laugh…
As an example: the early stories of Kafka and Calvino, Bruno Schulz, Hašek, Daniil Kharms, Zamyatin, Pavi?, Queneau, Bulgakov, Boris Vian, etc.
I want ideas! Funny ideas, absurd ideas, intelligently daft ideas! Poetry and images are more than welcome too. So are brief dramatic ‘scenes’.

The Ironic Fantastic #3 will be available in the first week of September, 2014.
The download link at Lulu.
I will be editing the fourth installment of The Ironic Fantastic. The submission deadline will be September 30. Issue #4 will be a tribute to Lewis Carroll, but all nonsense is welcome. If you’re looking for inspiration, you can start here! http://www.lewiscarroll.org/carroll
Please send all submissions to theironicfantastic4@gmail.com
by Jason E. Rolfe
I am extending the deadline for the Lewis Carroll-inspired issue #4 until the end of October. We are also accepting submissions for issue #5 (early 2015). That will not be a themed issue, so if you have anything ironic and/or fantastic you’d like us to consider, please send it along to either Paulo Brito or Jason Rolfe any time!
by Jason E. Rolfe
Dear Readers and Writers. Personal issues and constraints on time have conspired against me, and have caused a long (and ongoing) delay in the release of the Lewis Carroll issue of Ironic Fantastic. Rest assured that we will get this issue out. In the meantime, a non-themed issue of Ironic Fantastic will be released. Your patience has been duly noted and greatly appreciated! If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact us directly. If you wish to submit to the NEW next issue of Ironic Fantastic, please do!
