InsideADRIFT

The newsletter of the Adrift Community edited by Ken Franklin

History

The first two issues, under the name Drifters Monthly were edited by Woodfish. Issue one, produced as a plain text file, can probably be seen as a high point of the newsletter as it was the culmination of a lot of speculation over such a project. Additionally the number of contributors was never to be reached again, a favourite of mine is the Let’s talk interactive fiction discussion between En Kerklaar and a camel.

Mystery took up the editor’s quill with issue three, and went for a web based format, with an additional PDF version available. In many ways she set down the format that has continued through to this issue. Issue three had the catchy title of ADRIFT Newsletter, as a competition on the forum was deciding the new name. Issue four, with the winning title of InsideADRIFT appeared. The June issue seven was Mystery’s last as editor, due to family responsibilities over the Summer holiday.

This was where Ken Franklin took over the editorship with the July 2003 issue, changes were largely to stylistic matters, except for a new logo, and that pattern has been followed ever since.

The newsletter now has the insideadrift.org.uk domain name registered as well as it's own ISSN (1743-0577)
