For a long time, the old explanation of what Acid
Logic was (see below) sat around probably doing more harm than good.
Though it serves as an ideal reminder of this site's roots, it's somewhat
disingenuous as well. Acid Logic is a wild and crazy webzine, updated
every two week with wacky, humorous content, as well as more sane and
introspective offerings. Acid Logic also has Acid
Radio a collection of steaming audio bits and pieces. If you're
interested in submitting content to Acid Logic, look around the site,
get a feel for the flavor and email
the editor, Wil Forbis.
Old Explanation:
Acid Logic started as a column in a now
defunct web-zine called Twisted Underground. The premise was
to focus on more off-the-cuff, free form style writing, compositions
that had the freedom to jump subjects indiscriminately and emulate the
stream of consciousness thought process often heightened by psychedelics
such as ‘acid.’ (Though I, of course, have never experimented with such
drugs and wholeheartedly condemn their use.) Whether I’ve succeeded
is debatable. In truth I’ve never really had a liking for fringe writers
such as Burroughs, Bukowski or Ken Kessey, who's writing style would
probably be more deserving of the title ‘Acid Logic.’ But I am a fan
of conversational writing, writing that feels like an old friend talking
with you, and that's what I’ve gone for with this web-zine. I want you
to think of me as an old friend (Granted, an old friend that would steal
your stereo system and have sex with your mother, but an old friend
nonetheless.)
At first, I planned to only use Acid Logic as an
extension of my main domain, ForbisTheMighty.com,
but lately Acid Logic has been evolving out onto its own, and become
its own entity. As such, I’m starting to include other writers in the
"Features" and "Fiction" sections, though the columns will remain exclusively
mine. I’m fairly particular about what foreign material I’d publish
here, it’s not so much a matter of being good as much as being interesting
and more so, funny. If you have any interest, drop me a line at acidlogic@hotmail.com.
