I'll write articles for your magazine if you want them. =) I like your ideas and I'd have fun working with you, despite being in a different country and all.

P.S. Yesterday I scored a bootleg "Kung Fu Hustle" t-shirt.

"same reply for all"

i finally came up with an interesting concept for a magazine. i had been thinking of a novel way of organizing articles, rather than having the old "arts" section, and "current events" section etc. so i decided the publication will only have three sections:

past: articles on cool stuff from back in the day
present: articles about stuff going on right now
future: articles about stuff that's happening/coming out a while from now

if people want to write articles that overlap some, that's fine. it's just a magazine, not the fucking bible. but that's the idea i had and i hope it doesn't get stolen off the internet.

was also trying to think of a cool name other than something cheesy like "timeline"

Even if it does get stolled off the intertron, it's rare that an outline for an idea like that could possibly live up to the creator's expectations, or possible output toward that idea. You'd make a much better such magazine than some knockoff ;)

And, I'd submit articles too. I may not be a prolific writer, but it's more a lack of motivation than ability. Of course, you are the editor, it would be your call on what made it in.

Anyhow, I think you should go for it. And I share the sentiment about moms who try to get something stated, lots of talk, little action. Got one that does the same on a regular basis. I think you've got it in you to get it done.

As for printing, talk to Angille, see if he can't score you a deal on printing at Commie Printers.
