Newsflash!!

Necrotic Tissue is going print. That’s right, your favorites ezine and Top Ten Finisher for the P&E Readers Poll for Best Fiction Magazine is going print starting in July.

What that you say? July is five months away so why do we care?

I’ll tell you why, thanks for asking. We have updated our website. It has a brand new coat of paint, thanks to our web god, Remo, and we have also added a Store page where you can be the first kid on your block to buy a Necrotic Tissue Subscription!!

What’s that you say? You can’t wait until July for your next Necrotic Installment? Well don’t worry, Issue #6 is still coming out April 1st and it will be our last electronic issue.
I know what you’re thinking. I’ve teased you with the thought of Necrotic in print and there is just no way you can wait until July to get your hands on some Necrotic Tissue, and the PDF April issue, while AWESOME, won’t satisfy that horror print jones. You want to feel the Necrotic Tissue in your hands right now, oh yes you do.

Well you are in luck! Also on our Store page is a link to purchase your very own copy of Malpractice: An Anthology of Bedside Terror. This is NT’s first anthology and rolls out at 240 pages of medical horror, so disturbing, that you may never be able to enter a hospital again. Warning, this anthology is addictive and may cause harmful side effects, such as the condition known as sausage fingers and a deep seated fear of people in white coats.

Lastly, I have an update to all the writers out there on our rates. We previously upped our rates so the best story from each submission period receives Pro Pay of 5 cents per word up to our maximum of 5,000 words. Now we are also increasing from our token pay of a flat $25 to 1 cent per word, plus one contributor copy. We will strive to increase rates further, but in order to pay it out, we need to bring it in, so please help spread the word about our anthology and new print subscription.

That is a lot of news to come out all at once, so I will recap:
1. Necrotic Tissue’s website has a new look and a Store page to purchase your Necrotic goodies
2. NT is going print starting July, but you can preorder your subscription starting today
3. Malpractice, NT’s first print anthology, is now available for pre order and will be released in March and may cause you to lose bladder control
4. NT has upped its rates to 1 cent per word, with the best story of each submission period receiving Pro Pay, plus all writers will receive a contributor copy

I will have to talk to my Vice President of Marketing about the cups guys, I will keep you posted.


So, you want to subscribe to Necrotic Tissue, or perhaps you have your eye on that awesome Malpractice anthology, but you're broke and want to know how to make some extra cash?

Well hooking is out. While I may agree with the theory it is illegal in most states. But don't lose hope there is an answer. There are several renewable resources at your disposal, whether you are a man or woman, for making some extra cash.

$30 per visit for Plasma and you can do it up to twice a week for a max of $240 a month!: http://bloodbanker.com/plasma/centers/welcome-to-the-blood-donation-listings/

$50 to $100 per donation of Sperm: http://www.fairfaxcryobank.com/

Between $3,000 and $5,000 per cycle for Eggs: http://egg-donation-directory.blogspot.com/2007/05/how-much-money-can-egg-donor-make-from.html

Similar sites exist for countries all over the world, so if you are in England or India, Google your way to some extra pay$$

Sadly I wouldn't wish my blood or eggs on anybody. Well, my blood is technically fine, but I'm still not sharing ;)

Are you folks still taking 100 word flashes and what is the pay on those little nibblets?

Cheers

Yes we are, and we pay 5 cents per word for 100-word bites, or $5 plus one contributor copy.

Cool, so does that mean I'll get a copy of the July issue? :)

How about the T-Shirts? Still doin' those?


Yes and yes. Everyone we accept gets a contributor copy. We don't know for how long we will keep doing to the shirts, but so far, yes. We changed the style to grey with red on the front and black on the sleeve and back. We still have some of the black, but we are trying (when we can remember) to send the new style to previously published writers who already have a black T.

We also switched to Pay at time of Publishing, so both the pay and the T's will go out when the issue comes out. We needed to do this for cash flow reasons since print is not cheap.

If you haven't already, swing by and check out the new website. Smae great address with a facelift :)

Nice. I don't have a gray one yet...in a size L...(how's that for subtle). I'll wing on over to the new website and get my 'scrip set up. Thanks for the heads up, Scott.

A dark, evil place.
The payment arrangements are reasonable, and consistent with the way most everybody else does it. An understandable change--especially considering the switch to print.
