Was the internet influential in your coming out process? Has your "virtual life" crossed over into your "real" life? What impact do you think the internet has on lesbian visibility and on lesbian rights? These issues and any others you can think of having to do with lesbian identity and the internet are appropriate for The Virtual Dyke. We will also accept submissions of artwork relevant to lesbians and the internet. LENGTH: text must be no more than 3,000 words; graphics no bigger than 400 x 500 pixels DEADLINES: Because the internet eliminates much of the hassle associated with printing, there is no need for a fixed deadline for submissions and publication. Submissions will be accepted on a rolling basis, and new selections will be published each month. If your piece is chosen you will be notified one week before publication. We will hold submissions for six months, and if your piece is not published in that time you will be notified. The first issue is due out in June, 1996. CONTACT INFO: Please save your submission in text only format and send it in the body of an email or as a stuffed or zipped attachment via email. For graphics, we can only accept TIFF format. Please do NOT send submissions any other way or in any other format. If you need help with file formats, try asking your nearest system administrator or tech support person, or you might try posing the question on a help forum like internet-women-help (to join send email to: internet-women-help-request@lists1.best.com and in the body type one word only: subsingle ). There are also a number of good books on using the internet, such as Adam Engst's _Internet Starter Kit_ series for Mac and Windows users.
