ANC: FOS ISN'T DEAD - SERIOUSLY (inazone)
People have been wondering where FOS is. Could it be that
13 is really an unlucky number? Nah. I'm writing this one
all by my silly little self, and rather than fill your noggins
with foolish rants, I've decided to write some slightly
more focused articles this time around.
What
does this mean to you, the consumer? FOS #13 will be out
in March. I'm going to be doing things a little differently
this time around. Overall, I think it will be worth the
wait.
In the
meantime, read Gutter. Filth makes me giggle like a little
girl. It's fitting, since I also enjoy playing with dolls.

FREE WEB SITE HOSTING FOR ARTISTS (radical)
Are you sick of hosting your page at Geocities, Tripod,
or some other provider that just doesn't suit your needs?
Now there's a new
FREE hosting service just for artists. You get five
megs of space, and all you have to do is put a banner on
your page. This sounds like a very good offer to me. Especially
since your URL is http://artists-in-residence.com/username
Much better than http://www.geocities.com/CrapCity/Bunker/6969
eh?

ANC: GLEITZEIT MANIFESTO BY JAISINI (Yustas
Kotz-Gottlieb)
MANIFESTO GLEITZEIT
Art
based on depiction of visual flexibility with theoretical
flexibility.
A painting which purpose is to achieve composition with
no end and no beginning.
Art based on depiction of circle evolution of understanding
and seeing.
A kind of art which draws upon imagery and seeks to reveal
abstract idea of the connection within.
It's flexible because it has multiple principles.
It is more real than life.
It is more abstract than abstraction.
It is more visible than reality.
It is more subconscious than surrealism.
It is objective and nonobjective simultaneously.
It is emotional but scientific.
It depends upon pattern of line as a primal creator of whatever
associated or disassociated from theme.
The artist's mind is the superior beginning of the line,
but the line is free and emancipated.
Flexi is a new neo-pro-anti-post.
Jaisini,
New York 1999

SOULS = DEAD! (nightstalker)
Well ... some of you might have heard it allready .. i have
decided to kill souls. I won't be writing a long txt to
explain all reasons. The main reasons are the small number
of people in the group and the inactivities (also from my
side, i'm no exception). To all members: it was good while
it lasted .. let's keep some good memories and go on ..

ANC: LIT.ORG IS TWO YEARS OLD! (crowe)
Lit.Org just hit the two
year mark! Internic just sent out the invoice for renewal
and I sent it in!
I was
suprised to see that we've been up that long, and I'd like
to thank everyone who's been a part of its many projects,
both in and out of the scene. I'm hoping this year we can
do alot more for the users of lit.org now that we have complete
control of the server its on. We have more resources and
plan on giving some cool features back to those who've helped
us in the past.
Things
in the works is a Downloads/File Area for lit packs from
past to present, so if anyone has a good line on some of
the older ones, please lemme know.
Also
in the works is an online gallery of lit, if you'd like
yours displayed there, please contact me.

ANC: DISCUSSION BASE CHANGED (dangermouse)
The lit thread has been removed from the discussion base,
making way for the more specialised and specific discussion
base on lit.org.
ANC:
LIT.ORG - THE HELL YOU SAY! (crowe)
Thats right, Lit.Org has been online for more than a year
now. With growing support in the lit scene it is flourishing.
With the scene's move to the web as a medium, lit.org was
an obvious choice for our plans.
Lit.Org
is hosting some cool lit related sites. Among them,
Scrollz . Cia's Lit Department. Using the available
resources at Lit.Org, Scrollz has set up Discus ( a message
forum, like the one used on Acheron ) for the Lit Scene.
Go Here to see
the new Lit Forums.
We
neeed and want your support. Drop links to our site on your
page. And if you have a lit related project, let us know
we'll advertise it for you on lit.org. Need hosting for
your lit related project? contact me. Bewm

NEWS: AWE DIES (dangermouse)
After a rivival late last year, many thought that the great
logo group could possibly live longer than 20 packs, which
it did... Until now.. In a swift move, Tna, the groups leader,

let you access porn on the web."

FOS #13 - WORK IN PROGRESS (inazone)
K, boys and girl(s), everybody has been asking me when the
next issue of FOS will be out. I have lots of ideas for
articles of my own, but wouldn't it be GRAND if some other
people wrote? There's always plenty of people on IRC trying
to get their point across, so why not put it in a mag?
I'm
looking for some guest writers. Get the idea?
The
deadline for articles is the 15th of this month. I will
be doing ansi reviews, although I'm not sure how extensive
they will be. In any case, if you have an idea for an article,
get in touch with me!

BASIC
TRAINING (klumzee)
Basic Training #1 was a hit, I was very pleased with some
of the responses I got from people about it.
BUT
in gutter #9? Afraid not... I need quite a substantial number
of tutorials in order to put BT #2 out in gutter #9 (January
issue)... and yes, I'm sure they know it's late. All I really
have to say is folks, don't be shy! Get those tutorials
in, I can't beg, and beg, and beg for people to make these
(it's almost effortless to make them btw) I don't think
you need to be reminded how easy it is, but just in case...
if you're a font artist, a pic artist, if you're a comic
ripper even, all you need to do, is sequentially save your
ansi/ascii/lit (yes, we have had some interest in a possible
lit section of basic training) put some footnotes in there
about what you're doing, how you're doing it, or how your
mother and filth are romantically involved, and BAM.. you're
done.
Let's
get those submissions in people. :)

FTP.REMORSE.ORG - THE DADDY (necromancer)
Well, I would like to announce that for the past 2 years
the largest ascii scene FTP site in the world has existed,
and most of the scene still stands ignorant.
"What
site would that be," you ask?
Why,
ftp.remorse.org of course!
With over 2,000 ascii artpacks and ascii scene related textfiles
and utilities, ftp.remorse.org is the father of them all.
And
if you have an up-and-coming group, or another release from
an already existing group, uploads are accepted and very
welcome!
"And
what about speed," you ask? Well, you can't beat us. Hosted
at AboveNet, we are
smack-dab in the middle of everything and have the world's LARGEST bandwidth available to
us at all times; over 4 gigabits per second worth!
Be
one of us.
Come
to where the big boys play.
See
where the other ascii FTP sites got their files.
Come
to Daddy.

ANC: FOR YOUR INFORMATION (necromancer)
As of January 4th, 1999, it has been proven that Remorse

we are releasing our 4 year anniversary pack. "We have such
sights to show you.."
ANC:
SCORE! (thext)
Do you like hockey? (Are you Canadian? ;]) Have
you ever noticed how there are very little hockey ansis
drawn? (or sports ansi at all...) Well, this can change.
On the day of the first match of the Stanley Cup final,
the ultimate competition in hockey, I will release PUCK.xxx,
an art pack filled with hockey-related art. I do plan to
draw for it, but I am not to fill this up by myself. You
can help too! Whether you draw ansi, ascii, RIP, hirez,
write lit or compose music, you can add a piece. There WILL
be quality control, but it will not be severe... I just
do not want to release utter trash. Medium trash is alright,
though ;].
So if
you're interested, make art. You can drop me a word a my
addy above. It might bounce, but it'll get there, eventually.
ANC:
NEW, FASTER, MIRROR ASCII FTP (serial
toon)
Remember a month or so ago, Black Jack of Mimic Productions
introduced to the world, christ.nws.net to serve up the
largest online collection of ASCII artpacks ever. Well,
in the spirit of Black Jack's ftp, I have created a mirror
+plus site. This site will be linked via ftp scripts with
Black Jack's Christ and shall hold the same files. The only
main difference between the two archives is the speed. My
variation will be running off a cable modem connection while
it's mother, Christ, will be only be on a dialup connection.
Again, the address to access this ftp is as follows - ftp://neuro.nws.net

KILLER KOOL KONTEST 03 (filth)
