A quick update on the emergence of the new journal Fast Capitalism: Submissions, abstracts, proposals, promises of future submissions and initial contacts are pouring in. I have received at least 40 such interventions from authors. Ten finished papers have been submitted to date. One has been accepted (subject to author-induced revisions in light of reviews); two have been rejected; two have received revise-and-resubmit decisions; and the other five papers are still being reviewed. I am extremely grateful to UTA reviewers and reviewers off site for their generosity in providing detailed and thoughtful comments. Most reviewers have responded promptly, enabling me to give authors quicker editorial reactions than they might receive from traditional pulp outlets. Another benefit of electronic publishing and editing is that I as editor can work closely and efficiently with authors as they put their papers through a process of 'development.' Most of the papers received so far have been quite creative. The most notable thing about the submissions is their genuinely international origins and scope: Papers have been received from the U.S., Canada, Australia, Egypt and Switzerland. Proposals and promises of submissions have been equally international, a sure sign that our electronic journal will eventually have a global readership. It is clear to me that authors around the world are thinking through the impact of information and communication technologies on self, society and culture in the 21st century. As papers flow in, I will be calling on many of you to serve as reviewers. And I continue to urge you and your graduate students to consider submitting work and to exhort your disciplinary colleagues to do so. At this point, I am hoping to have enough accepted papers by end of summer that we can post the first number of the journal at www.uta.edu/fastcap soon thereafter. Ben
