DreamForge is an independent, small press Magazine of positive Science Fiction and Fantasy. Our goal is to publish fiction and commentary that embody, in one way or another, these essential principles: integrity and decency, compassion and creativity, intelligence and inventiveness, the rule of law and liberty under the law, the dignity of the individual, and the power of synergy to unleash the potential of disparate individuals and communities for the betterment of all. We do not subscribe to hopelessness or futility as a vision of the future or of any setting or situation. In all worlds and times, our tales revolve around those individuals and groups who bring meaning and value to the world, whose actions are of consequence, and whose dreams are the vanguard of things to come. Whether you call that Solarpunk, Hopepunk, or just DreamForge stories, you'll find them here. Time and space are indifferent to our existence, yet without our struggles to bring it meaning, the whole of the cosmos is irrelevant. Inside each mind waits a universe. We can be the creators that dream the world. In Issue # 11 we offer an exciting diversity of tales, ranging from the treasure hunting drama of "Pour One Out," by Shannon Fox to the hunt for an Ancient fish, whose giant heart can reveal the future in "Where Rivers Meet," by Indiana Tilford. We get a set of steak knives for letting the magic wand salesman do his pitch, and we watch as Arthur Conan Doyle tanks his reputation to save the Cottingley Fairies. Let's get into it!
