@InterzoneMag Hi! Did the IZ Story Club replace the IZ Discord? I've only just noticed it's not in my Discord server list. Thanks

@InterzoneMag it’s definitely not as bold as print, but I do wonder how good IZ artwork would look on this

@InterzoneMag (sorry this is a really drawn out convo. I’m existing in a weird time frame at the moment)
I think ultimately the colour e-reader stuff is a bit of a gimmick. Thinking back to my historic interzone reading, the stuff which would potentially look good would be full colour interstitial art; but, when it comes to memorable stories, for me, I can’t recall the art. And I read plenty of amazing stories in BW.

@InterzoneMag and some of the really cool tricks were things like subtle pagination tweaks or page setting(thinking of a Cécile Cristofafi story I think) that are likely unrepeatable in epub due to technical limitations, colour or not!

@InterzoneMag so I guess as always, the fiction is the key thing

@InterzoneMag this art from 294 would (I think) translate really well to colour eink’s limitations; other art not so much!
