THE UNREADy is an independent magazine with no official distribution. On the contrary, as a parasite, it lives in others' spaces and it uses as a distribution channel the pages of other magazines, art catalogues, books and all kind of press willing to host it.

THE UNREADy has no fixed dates. The mechanism of intrusion and hosting of other "containers" is the only factor that determines the publishing of the magazine. From this point, the publishing intervals between one article and the next one are unpredictable.

The title of the magazine is inspired by Ethelred II (Aethelred II dc. 968 - 1016), King of England. The majority of his reign was marked by a defensive war against Viking invaders. Considering the way he faced the Viking onslaught, and all the unpopular and useless measures he took against them, his contemporaries gave him the nickname "Unræd" meaning "without counsel", "poorly counseled" or "indecisive". This could also be interpreted as a pun on his name, Æþelræd, which may be understood to mean "noble counsel" in Old English. Later, popular Etymology associated the name Aethelred, "Unread", to the modern Unready, and the king is known as "the Unready" nowadays.

Concerning the format, our pages will be printed upside down with respect to the hosting magazine pages. The contents are established in agreement with those invited to collaborate and are based only on written texts.
