Holy Moley! A discussion started up on John’s LJ about this “new genre” or “movement” or whatever you want to call it that has been brewing for a few years now. It’s that weird, off-kilter and impossible to categorize fiction that has been coming out in zines like The Dream People, Blood Cookies, The Idiot’s Manifesto, Bust Down the Door & Eat All the Chickens, Dream Virus, Rumble, The Dream Zone & The Dodsley Pages (now defunct) forums like The New Absurdist and presses like ours, Eraserhead and Afterbirth. The discussion has had more the 100 posts now and still seems to be going strong. Check it out here http://www.livejournal.com/users/rdsp/42785.html

The cool thing is that it seems like something, at least a community forum, may come of this discussion and a move has been made to try to give this thing a name and make it easier for readers to find these kinds of works. So much potential! I can’t wait to see what comes out of this…
