Me and Flesh n Blood have been working on a magazine idea  for a while now and we have a enough completed  that we thought we can let the rest of you know. For the next week - we would like a paragraph from every member who wants to give us a paragraph. The rules are the usual - No swaring - No hating-think about the kids, also if you have something you want to advertise like ex ( Miccy 2000's friend has a band) let me know and I'll decide If we can squeeze it in the magazine. I need permission from whatever it is as well, I just can't throw stuff in the magazine. The  magazine will be in a 8.5 X 11 format folded in half so don't expect a Rollingstone showing up at your door.

The paragraphs can't be more than 6 lines long using MS Word at a 9 point font with a 1 inch border on each side. Paragraphs will be sent to me  in my mail box here. They can be whatever is on your mind that is appropriate (ex.  such as links to favorit sites etc. - no starting fights. You can give away your own game secrets but not other peoples. When the magzine is completed I will start asking for peoples adresses.  Thank you. 

I love this idea. Band advertising? I'll ask first. However, if you don't mind a few ideas.

Game of the Month (or whenever often you make it)

Stuff other than MAG (eg. YouTube videos posted by members)

And of course competitions and events coming up, and it may even be possible to have competitions and stuff, exclusive to the magazine.

This idea really does sound awesome.

I'm all about You tube videos that are original content meaning created by members and thier friends.  This magazine will most likely come out four times a year so I'm going to stay away from best of  things-. No contest either unfortanatly - I'm going to lose a large sum of mone in shipping and printing = I would be interested in conversations in the forums that you think should be in the magazine - like nice convesations that aren't critical of any members.

Can we just post a paragraph here?

riley

yes, ASAP!

Riley, DarthVader_13

this is a great example of what we are looking for. keep up the good work and continue to add more things that may or may not have to do with the site. :)

nate

nope, i just have the one from darth. i havent seen oct in a few days. sorry. is there any way we can put a filler in for the first episode and just let everyone see what the potential for it is?

Hey Is it possible just to send the papragraphs to me, I was hoping people would read them in the magazine , and therefore it would be a surprise what the people said .  I left Darths' up to  show an example.  I'm giving people till Wednesday  to do paragraphs. If you want to write an add for somebody please do it . If you want to write a comic please do it. If you want to write a short story or a continuing story thats less than a page do it.   The wednesday deadline is because I only have four paragraphs,, and seriously thank you Flesh n Blood for helping out.

   I just expected a lot more cooperation, if I have to pull teeth for issue two, I don't think the magazine will survive.  I'm sorry that this magazine is turning into a nag azine. I just want to have somthing fun for people to read

good point choco. and, my bad. however, SEND YOUR PARAGRAPHS TO CHOCO IN IM!!! lol

nate
