DISCLAIMER/CLAIMER/WHAT DO WE WANT
CAN ANYTHING GOOD COME OUT OF KYIV…???
DISCLAIMER
Any similarities between some of the characters on this website and real people are neither intentional nor coincidental. They simply are.
CLAIMER
We tell it the way we see it, and our readers reach their own conclusions.
Also…
Some of our audience may perceive some of the materials on this website as politically incorrect. We here at Kyiv Unedited would like to assure you that we are not only aware of the situation, but are doing everything in our powers to remain that way.
And…
For those of you who have received from us through the mail an oversized post card (no, seriously, folks), we’d like you to know that the art rendered on them is a purely amateur effort by one of this site’s creators (me, in fact), who never thought he could draw. We wanted to reach out to you in the simplest, most direct and most personal way.
So…
WHAT DO WE WANT
WE WANT our characters, settings, style and storylines, the drama, the descriptions and the entire Kyiv Commix theater and cosmology to see the light of publication. We seek to collaborate with other media creators who’d be interested in taking us up on our ideas and vision, seeing their commercial, entertainment and artistic potential.
WE SEE our creation serving as the basis for film, animation, video serial, comic book, graphic novel, story collection, play, or some other new form brought to our attention.
WE BELIEVE this website is a record against today’s deteriorating and hackneyed state of fiction and that it speaks for itself. It’s a newborn form still growing.

PROTEST NOTE
Since the above date no longer exists, all of the hoo-ha and ballyhoo attached to it may now be deemed just a meaningless attempt to make money based on a bunch of nonsense – nonsense that is (and let’s be honest here) highly offensive at least part of the time, and quite likely at least partly offensive all of the time.
I mean, you can’t take them seriously, can you? Do NOT give these people money!!!
Nevertheless, the one thing I will grant the materials on this site, they are NOT works of fiction, but rather, factual works written as fiction, or, perhaps more precisely, fiction-like works of fact.

P.S. And anyway, you probably think I’m just pulling your leg, but I’m not. You have to believe me

Yeah, right
TO PROTEST NOTE ABOVE:
AGREE WITH PROTEST, DISAGREE WITH NOTE
Dear Protest Note:
I agree 100 percent with your injunction not to give these people any money. I really, really hate them and their stupid Kyiv Commix, which to me is nothing more than a crude and depraved aberration of literature.
Which brings me to the most important point I wanted to make, which addresses your point that “the materials on this site, they are NOT works of fiction, but rather, factual works written as fiction, or, perhaps more precisely, fiction-like works of fact.”
Please be assured that nothing could be further from a true characterization of what you will find on this site, because NONE of it is fact, nor is any of it based on fact, but ALL of it is fiction, and, I will add, of the worst kind.
In fact, somewhere in this entire mess they actually have the nerve to refer to their work as – and get this – “literature”. But as I have already demonstrated, this is very far indeed from being the case.
So, yes, don’t give them any money – I agree, and couldn’t be in greater agreement with you, but don’t read them, either.
None of it is fact, but literature it ain’t neither.

ON THE CITY’S EDGE…
Dear Sirs:
To Whom it May Concern:
To those of you reading this website and agreeing not to give the foundation thereunder any money, including arguing back and forth whether the materials presented therein (herein) are either fact or fiction (or fictionalized fact, or factualized fiction) or neither, please be advised that purely as a public service rendered to people I don’t even know, but do indeed care deeply about the resolution of this long-festering problem, I have somehow taken the trouble and succeeded somehow in a hack-like fashion (although I am purely a hobbyist at suchlike and really do not extend my superfluous energies toward doing suchlike in any serious manner that might ultimately be actionable if caught in a court of law) rummaging up from the un-scraped debris-glutted bottom of this cesspool of badly put together words that which purports to be the ORIGINAL DISCLAIMER that was ever written for this website (if you want to call it that) but had been for all intents and purposes seemingly lost forever inside the works here, and that the by me said found DISCLAIMER had been meant as a stopgap failsafe against possible defamation suits in courts of said law in the event that the people made severely and viciously fun of here should be stupid enough to try to sue, in which case I have taken the liberty of republishing the said DISCLAIMER as it originally appeared in full with or without the permission of the powers in charge who’d had it here and then taken it down or from their own neglect and incompetence had let it expire and fall off the cyber map, which, I believe, can happen if you’re not careful when taking care of, maintaining, updating and otherwise looking after your website and following instructions, for the benefit of all who care to know, because we all, reading this tripe, deserve no less.
So here it is:
CAN ANYTHING GOOD COME OUT OF KYIV…???
KYIV COMMIX… where you’re
DISCLAIMER
All of the pieces in the Kyiv Commix section of the Kyiv Unedited website are works of fiction.
As such, any similarities between the names and the descriptions of characters, businesses, and organizations and real people and places are entirely coincidental, except for Kyiv, a real city, aspects of which we sometimes fictionalize.
This also pertains to The Checkout, where real Kyiv venues frame stories told by fictional narrators.
Man on Earth is, provisionally, our fact-based section, the facts being the other two sections.

ADD:
Tangy Comics (that is, Commix) LITERATURE, The Next Biggest Thing, That’s right, LITERATURE, of a comics kind – actually, Commix, that is to say, of a Commix Kind, Here, to replace the banditry, that is, the banality, that is, the banal banditry of short stories and THE NOVEL!!!
Whether you like it or not, and I figure, you’d better like it, because soon you’re not going to have any choice in the matter, no, that’s right, yesiree, no choice in the matter whatsoever ‘t’all
Times are a-changin’, babykins, and Commix is going to unleash the next wave of literature to dominate the world for the next 400 years – just wait and see
In English – and who would ever have thought it would have all started in Kyiv, the heart of the Byzantine Heir
Not yet Christmas, and not therefore the New Year, but nonetheless pretty damn close to 2017
