Darkfaery Subculture Magazine | Gothic Horror Steampunk Cosplay Subculture

You’ve probably noticed that we’re three issues behind and there haven’t been any Darkfaery updates in a while. Do not worry, the new issues are on their way. I got injured in mid-June and it’s been hard for me to work at my desktop. Even as I type this my shoulder is burning with pain. That aside, the smooth operation of Darkfaery requires the volunteer work of a fantastic group of people who donate their time and lives to make this thing happen. You see Darkfaery isn’t just a magazine, it’s a family, it’s a way of life, and it’s a new world where anything and everything can happen. It’s so much more than I ever dreamed it would be when I started printing a crappy little zine from school and work printers just to be able to afford it. I want to take some time to thank the people who work the hardest.

Trista, you filled a spot at Darkfaery that needed a leader. The Darkfaery Girls was always a footnote of something that needed to be done and you came out of nowhere with your ideas and really brought it together. I can’t imagine the Darkfaery Girls being able to continue without you so I hope you don’t get bored with it.

Maynard, your writing skills have made the last few issue more interesting and I look forward to your choices of articles and what you might weave next with your craft. I hope when you finish your current projects you have time to write for us again. I feel you brought more culture and insight to our group.

Pandy, the free time you have for Darkfaery is rare but you always manage to put in good ideas or cash donations and we would sell a lot less at the booth if you didn’t use your skills to help us. You don’t give yourself enough credit. You deserve a cookie.

Joyce, your flare for promotion has brought us many fans over the years. you have a knack for charm and poise that is unrivaled and if you can just believe in yourself more you can take the world by storm. I do believe in faeries.

Rachel, your photos have made Darkfaery a much better source of eye candy. Even though you are across the globe from us our ideas are similar and your vision of beautiful girls fits our plan perfectly. Thank you for all of the great cover art.

Laura, you haven’t been with us long but already we depend on you. I don’t know if that is a good thing or a curse. I leave that up to you.

Z, until you came along Darkfaery was in tatters. It was like so many of my unfinished projects just sitting in the shadows collecting dust with no goal or direction. Your belief in me through the times of my failure to believe in myself have made this group what it is. Your love and time is what has made it possible for me to invest that love and time into other people and provide them with something to dream about and have hope for. You may not get much credit for the things you do and put in, but don’t think I have forgotten how much these things mean to us.

All this having been said; we are looking for more people to add to our team constantly, if you have time to volunteer and are not afraid to be yourself or get out in the world and try we need you. We need writers, artists, film makers, crafters, artists, musicians, and performers to make this thing work. We aren’t worried about your skill or training or how you look but rather how you think and how you look at things. All of us were just starting out at some point. You don’t have to be experienced; you just have to be ready to experience. If you feel you may be able to bring something to our vision please feel free to contact us.

Until next…I remain…
