As it has always done, Shimmer Magazine strives to conquer new ground in the SFF community.

As Bright and Fierce People of Indeterminate Ages, we are gravely concerned with the continued graying of our glorious genre. Why stand on these increasingly shaky and crumbling foundations when we can soar through bright and/or dark new skies only somewhat possibly potentially muddied by the deepening haze and stench of global warming myths?

We envision a world where kittens and rockets live side by side! We envision a future where fluffy balls of fluff are shot into the darkest depths of space to spread peace, love, and purrs to everyone they meet! As 2014 goes forward, Shimmer Magazine remains staunchly committed to ensuring there will always be rainbows, glitter, and kittens.
