Gadfly Online.

Online Archive (May 2001-July 2002)

Soon after Gadfly folded with the March/April 2001 issue, the creative forces behind the print magazine launched Gadfly Online. Unlike the print magazine, where we rarely took submissions and were stringently selective in topics and writers, the demands of publishing five times a week combined with the reliance on electronic dissemination opened us up to a number of new authors* and varied subjects as well as new possibilities. Unlike the hard copy, where we had to prepare material months in advance, we could be time oriented. Suddenly, we had columnists*, and in a fortuitous arrangement, weekly dispatches from Paris. About the only strictures we followed were trying to break the pieces up into categories of Art, Book, Film, Music and Issues (and a few subcategories). Whatever we could not classify simply ended up in Issues.

A little over a year later, when Gadfly Online ceased publication, we had amassed a diverse body of work that by-and-large was apolitical, and existed like the print Gadfly, to celebrate the creations of artists and unique individuals, and hopefully, in the process, make our own contribution.

The GO Archive is available for your perusal.
