Illustrious Voyeur Hiatus

Hey Everyone,

We sincerely apologize about the lack of communication over the last month regarding the upcoming issue of IV. Unfortunately, a lot of confusion, miscommunication, lack of submissions, and lack of time have put the panel in a position to put the Illustrious Voyeur on hold for the time being. Since we are students, time outside of school and related work has made it difficult for us to carry on with Volume 2 for it's scheduled release. We are not shelving the Zine, we just needed to step away from it until we got a grasp on what we needed to do for school, our personal lives, and the future of the zine. We discussed potentially combining October's Campfire Tales and November's Dia De Los Muertos themes and turning it into a Mortality Issue due to be released Nov 1st. However, we never made a set decision as a panel and this upcoming issue as well as future issues have been put on the back burner. So, until a set decision is made about Volume 2 as well as future volumes of the Illustrious Voyeur, we will not be announcing any new information. Once we feel that we are in a position to continue, we will make an announcement and send newsletters. We will also be posting our rules of submission and publication, as well as our mission statement once we decide when we will be continuing on with Volume 2.

In the meantime, email us if you have any comments or questions regarding Volume One, or general questions about the Illustrious Voyeur. We should be up in running again sometime soon.

For those of you who submitted, you may choose to ask for your pieces to not be published if you have changed your minds, or bare with us until a new decision is reached. We will more than likely publish an issue that contains the work that was submitted with a suitable theme. We just had a few unexpected delays and cannot move forward at this time. You will be notified when we can move on.

Thanks, and we apologize again to everyone!
Sincerely,
Illustrious Voyeur Panel
