We'd love to have reviews! We've got graphic novel reviews, a couple of film reviews, and a BIG WEIRD review of various forms of liquid-soaked bread. We'd love more of your reviews of just about anything!

​~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Artists have dropped lines asking what the theme is, and I'm telling them, and YOU, Time! Whether it's clocks, time machines, aged-progressions of well-known Fanzine Editors, or whatever, it's about TIME!!!
 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 
Of course, with the passing of Stephen Sondheim, send any thoughts in his impact our way. He had a MASSIVE influence on, on my generation, on my major fandoms.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 
We've got a couple of great pieces about 1980s movies! How about some more (perhaps one about the finest 1980s Basketball comedy - Teen Wolf???)

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

If you're at a con this weekend, send us pictures so we can document what cons look like at this very peculiar point in time!

​~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

As November 27th barrels into New Zealand and Australia, it's time for our first prompt!

You're now in charge of all calendar's and holiday scheduling, What holiday do you add and how should it be celebrated? 

Write something or a piece of art, if'n you like!

​Send to [email protected] or even just comment here!

Also, remember that you can always go back through our archives and send a letter of comment on a prior issue
- https://efanzines.com/JourneyPlanet/index.htm

Come back throughout the day for more prompts, updates, and high strangeness!

November 27th, 2021 - One Day on Journey Planet

Ever wanted to be a part of an issue of Journey Planet but never knew where to start? 

Have an idea for a thing but don't think it's got a place?

You like doing stuff with fun folks with a completely artificial deadline? 

Then join Team Journey Planet on Saturday, November 27th as we spend One Day on Journey Planet! 

We're making an issue starting the minute it becomes November 27th (just at the International Dateline) and be continuing until it's not November 27th anymore (or, more realistically, when Chris decides to go to bed...) 

We'll be providing prompts for pieces, but we're open to a whole lot of everything! Been thinking about writing an article about your favorite 1970s Ghost comic? Do it! Wanna draw a series of works of El Vez fighting dinosaurs? Sure! Wanna pre-flight and write now, but send on Saturday? DO IT!!!

One prompt we're giving away ahead of time is you can send in letters of comment on our older issues at http://journeyplanet.weebly.com (you know, this page!) or on https://efanzines.com/JourneyPlanet/ and let us know what you think? Have they aged like wine? Let us know!

And be sure to drop hy

We are joined by the wonderful Jean Martin for an issue that takes a look at the Hugos in various ways! Cheryl Morgan looks at diversity in Hugo winners in many dimensions, and Cora Buhlert looks at one of Fritz Lieber's legendary stories. Chris Garcia and Kristy Baxter bring their podcast Short Story Short Podcast to the pages of Journey Planet as they look at the Best Short Story nominees, Jean interviews the amazing Hugo winning Fan Artist Maurine Starkey, and James Bacon looks at Best Graphic Story. All this with art by Mo Starkey and Chris!
