Hi guys! I thought it would be a good idea to make a question post to clear up any questions you may have! So, please, ask. You're questions help me as much as they help you!

Also: submit, submit, submit!

Hi! I have several (probably silly) questions for you as I edit the two pieces I'm going to submit ...

1. So, one of the pieces includes ending-specific information for the anime series it's written about; is there a standardized way you want me to note for spoilers? I kinda just have it tacked on at the beginning, but I wanted to know if there was any specific way to do that.

2. Going off of question 1, is there any specific way you want us to format things? Like with font styles or titles or the part at the end where I link important things (I have quite a few pictures as well, one of the articles kinda needs them xD), and I don't want to format things a certain way if your vision for the magazine is another way :) Is there anything I can do to make your job easier for this--standardize my presentation of the article so it doesn't look tacky compared to the other pieces? (I'm asking because I have a tendency to go way overboard, but I am desperately trying not to xDD)

3. I'm not familiar with the Issuu publisher, will the finished magazine be able to have active links integrated into each article? (For example, if I link something as a source, will a reader be able to just click it and be brought right to that Internet page?) Going off of that, are you just listing the author's name or will you be linking to their account?

I promise I will be sending you my finished pieces soon! I want to try and make them a little longer xD

1. There aren't really any specifics for it, but I will certainly make sure that it's obvious when I put it in the mag .

2. When I get the articles, I will be formatting them in such a way that it won't look tacky, pictures are fine. They will add to the over all look and I'm sure I can make them look nice. As long as your title is obvious to me, I cant think of any specific formatting problems. I'll be doing all the font changes and things like that so you don't really have to worry about it! I'm trying to make this as easy as possible for the authors.

3. It will! Issu allows for linking, which is one of the reasons I chose it. I don't think I'll be linking to journals in this issue, only because I didn't ask my previous submitters permission, but thats something I will do in the future!

I'm really excited to see what you have! Thank you for all of the questions!
