I do always kind of have that feeling in the back of my mind, but it also seems like they are getting more momentum with the new wave of films. Cameron put Disney in a weird spot by delaying the second film so long. They had so much momentum after the first release.

Their online journal publishes flash and poetry, and they put out standalone projects as well with specific themes. The upbeat, collaborative spirit of the journal and editors make Micromance an uplifting breath of fresh air in a world that can often feel pretty jaded.
