Fafnir makes the DOAJ

Well, here it is -- Fafnir: A Nordic Journal of SFF Research is now officially on the Directory of Open Access Journals! Apparently, we've been a member since July 19th. I filled out the application last April or early may; a rep contacted me with some questions in mid-July, but I though we'd get a confirmation e-mail of acceptance or something. Nope. So we've been a member for two months, but I've only just noticed.  Still, this is pretty cool. The DOAJ is a good, volunteer-run directory for journals who follow good practice in open access publishing, and it's nice that we have that academic cachet now.

Next step: the DOAJ Seal of Approval, which is awarded to OA journals that follow best practice in open-access publishing. That'll take some added steps, including deep archiving and some changes to our copyright policy, which'll probably require approval by the editorial board, but we'll make it.
