Chad Cottle, Jody Speight and Steve Johnson were the creators of the original TITAN webzine site, back in 1997. Those of you who provided stories for the zine, and for whom the zine provided a window for showcasing your talent to the world, no doubt have some fond memories of those days--days which now lie in another millennium! Because that feeling is reciprocal, the TITAN team, though they have moved on to other pursuits in life, wanted to do something to keep the efforts of their (and your!) youth "in print" a while longer.
Spiral Sea Enterprises is happy to be able to provide that Web-dwelling afterlife for TITAN and its authors and artists.
We sought to communicate with as many of you authors as we could reach through e-mails and web searches, in order to secure your specific permission to re-mount TITAN under the ARK OF TITAN subsite. Every one of you whom we could reach, without exception happily approved the project. But, we realize there are situations wherein some of you, whom we have not yet contacted, may wish to withdraw a particular work or works. If they have been sold or promised elsewhere, or if your inclinations have changed, it may be that the re-issuing under ARK OF TITAN is something you would rather not be done. In any such case, we will quickly remove any specified content upon receipt of bona fide communication from you as author and owner of the work(s) concerned.
Copyrights to the stories, reviews, editorials, layouts, and illustrations within the ARK OF TITAN subsite, are the property of their respective authors and artists. SPIRAL SEA ENTERPRISES copyrights the re-issue under this subsite as a collection only. Only wholly new material, added by Spiral Sea Enterprises, is marked as copyrighted by Spiral Sea Enterprises, or an otherwise indicated party.
All rights to the included materials in ARK OF TITAN belong to the authors and artists who created them. Please do not copy works for dissemination, or plagiarize or otherwise pirate these works. In cases where their use is desired for such purposes as educational review, or re-publication elsewhere, contact either SPIRAL SEA or the author(s) or artist(s) concerned, and make certain that arrangements are made for their use with their respective author(s) and/or artist(s).
SPIRAL SEA actively solicits communication from the authors represented here in the ARK OF TITAN archives. We are interested in following up on your writing careers as material for a future article--as well as in learning what further mischief you have managed to get yourselves into! TITAN may put together a RETURN OF TITAN SPECIAL ISSUE if enough of the Old Cadre shows up with a willingness to slap a few ideas together. So by all means, drop us a line!
In closing, Chad, Jody, Steve, and Jack wish you all well, and thank you all for the fun it has been, sharing your talents with the world.
