jected magazine. But on the other hand reading the observations of others might just allow a certain sudden identification with them and a realization that "that goes for me too!"

Such contributions could take the same variety of forms that make up little sister TVia. That is they could be in the form of perceptive, revealing and descriptive fiction, poems, essays and articles, personal experiences etc. For instance my write up of my nude-encounter experi- ence which was published in No. 50 would have been much more in place in a publication such as I am describing. As it was it was too disturbing to various "undergraduates". It was on the other hand not only accepted and understood by some readers, but highly compli- mented by some of them. One said that it was the best thing ever to appear in TVia-a whole new insight she said. The acceptance of these few made me start thinking and that is what has brought this project into focus for presentation here.

I visualize the contents as going into how a person really feels on a gut level about such problems as homosexuality, transexual surgery, erot- icism in general, the nature of his own guilt feelings and into anthropol- ogical, sociological or psychological commentaries on our society as it presently is. In short "telling it like it is"-INSIDE. I don't even visualize the field as being limited to the type of TVs that TVia is published for. As you all know TVia doesn't go in for the subjects of bondage, domina- tion, fetishism, homosexuality, punishment, etc. Its field is precise be- cause it has a particular job to do for a particular group of people. But the kind of journal I visualize here might well have articles by people interested in these other fields telling about the true nature of their inner feelings and desires. I'm sure it would prove educational even to psychiatrists.

I would like, therefore, to solicit two things from you. 1) Some ex- pressions of opinions about the idea. . . your concept of what it should consist of, how it should be presented, its editorial policy, its rules of acceptability, etc. And, 2) Some actual contributions of material. I shall hold these until I accumulate enough to make up an issue and until I have accumulated enough orders to make it seem financially worth while (after all I started TVia on 25 subscriptions). I will then print it. 3). I want to ask for orders for it. I can't say much about how big or how often it would appear. I should guess about 50-70 pages ap- pearing quarterly) but I can set two facts at this point. Its cost will be $5 per issue and it will be printed in rather small numbers (which ac- counts for the price), on a get it early or miss it basis. I do not want to
