Features: A long, long time ago, a group of young people born in the 1980s, with a belief in literature, started this magazine in a city where people were increasingly interested in visuals and losing interest in reading text. They created a platform for their peers to publish their best works. There was no such magazine for them to reference beforehand, and they walked down a difficult and desolate path afterward. Every person born in the 1980s could read it and—so long as you wrote well enough—had every reason to publish your work in it. Even now, people still consider it the earliest and most successful youth literary magazine. People remember those hot afternoons when those young people revered literature, and they remember the humid climate blowing words onto sheet after sheet of white paper. They remember that year was 2004, of course, and will forever remember that name—"Flame." In the name of literature, let us forever follow her.
