Dear membership,  There are a few rumours that have been circulating about The Rogue Unicorns Zine (of the Ste. Emilie Skillshare).  We feel it necessary to address these rumours directly with our current and potential readership.  We know that some of you have been confused, upset, stunned, shocked – panicked even – by some of the things that you have heard, so we would like to be clear about the future of The Rogue Unicorns Zine, our past, our present and our future.  

1. ROGUE UNICORNS is Ste-Émilie’s new zine about anything and everything having to do with our mandate of anti-oppression/ anti-racism/ queer liberation/ self-respresentation/ self-expression/ DIY/ we are all artists/ revolution – THIS IS TRUE.
2. We did have an exclusive full front AND BACK nude photo of Michelle Obama planned for the coverpage of the first issue, however do to legal complications, the image will be delegated to the content section of the zine.
3.  Due to community outrage, we have postponed the feature on animal-food sexuality.  Rest assured, the first issue will be animal-food-sexuality-free.  No guarantees for issue number 2 though.
4. There have been rumours that the first issue will contain a feature about large breasts, produced by the elite, exclusive and elusive “Big Tits Club”.  We cannot confirm or deny this rumour at this moment.
5.  We are looking for interviews, DIY tips, angsty poetry, essays, callouts, report backs, rants, drawings, paintings, all kinds of arts – EVERYTHING having to do with point #1 above.
6. There have been rumours that you have missed the deadline to submit anything.  THIS IS NOT TRUE!  The zine is going to come out semi-regularly, so we are taking submissions AT ALL TIMES, FOREVER AND EVER.  This doesn’t mean that you should slack off and never give us anything.  That’s why the deadline for submissions for the first issue is SEPTEMBER 15th, 2010.  DON’T MISS IT BETCHES.

Now that all these things have been cleared up, we hope that we can all sleep peacefully.  Please do not hesitate to contact us directly if you have any questions.  If you hear any other rumours, please let us know so that we can address them!

with bursting hearts of joy and laughter,
