What does the name NEO-OPSIS mean?
NEO-OPSIS is a constructed word, made up of two Greek root words. It seemed right to create a word in the same way that many scientific words are created, by combining root words from various languages. ‘Neo’ means ‘new’. Since we are a new magazine ‘neo’ seemed appropriate, but that is not why we choose ‘neo’. It was in combination with ‘opsis’, which means ‘view’ and ‘opinion’, that ‘neo’ gave the magazine its true meaning, “new-view/opinion”. We were informed that if this were a true Greek word it should be ‘neopsis’, but we liked the sound of neo-opsis better. We grew to like the o-o, which looks like a pair of glasses, and somehow helps to reflect the meaning ‘new-view’.
What are we trying to do
with “NEO-OPSIS Science Fiction Magazine”?
We hope to entertain and
inform you. NEO-OPSIS Science Fiction Magazine is more than a collection of
short science fiction and fantasy stories. We want to encourage ‘letters to the
editor’, which seem to have disappeared from many science fiction magazines.
NEO-OPSIS Science Fiction Magazine will print articles and opinion columns. As
the number of subscribers increases, we hope to increase the amount of artwork
found in NEO-OPSIS Science Fiction Magazine. We at NEO-OPSIS Science Fiction
Magazine are working to create a magazine that will mix in humour, opinion,
art, drama, science, suspense, and excitement.
