The FREEZINE of Fantasy and Science Fiction has been streaming new waves of speculative fiction in daily installments as well as publishing singular stories in their entirety since the summer of 2009. That was when I, prospective editor in chief, found my central nervous system infected by an invading stream of nanobots sent from the future to possess me to put this free webzine out on a semi regular basis. Since then we've published over twenty authors and featured over sixty stories.
So far, there are seven years archived on the official FREEZINE blog site. Nineteen serials have been published during that interim.

Swimming in the Ghost River, by A. A. Attanasio
Due to an exceptional turn of events, four of our serials remain missing from the registry: the enigmatic Yves Columbar's uncanny WJ Tales. Few remaining subscribers today are even left to remember these disturbing serializations. It appears that many who had subscribed to our webzine back then no longer remain to be found anywhere on or offline. What's odder yet, is that the very blog archives in which these abstruse serials were stored, have vanished. It is almost as if they were experienced in a dream. We have done our best to search far and wide for Monsieur Columbar, but nary a word from this mysterious scribe has even turned up beneath a rock. So despite the fact that nineteen novellas have been serialized on the FREEZINE of Fantasy and Science Fiction, (A. A. Attanasio's Swimming in the Ghost River having the distinction of being the nineteenth), our latest novelette now remains the fifteenth entry to be serialized in our august archives. In addition, the FREEZINE now presents forty-nine stand alone stories published in the archives, all adding up to a grand total of sixty-eight tales.
Out of nowhere the nanohorde have suddenly requested that our triannual observe a short period of radio silence. This is the first time I've received such a peculiar request from the bloodhost. I have reason to believe this period will be very short indeed, so please relax and find something to do while we wait for our mysterious benefactors from the future to give us the green-light to proceed with our "Pentaquark" issue for the month of August, in the year 2015.
