Looking for submissions for the fanzine

[StainlessSteelCynic]

Olefin, as a suggestion, would you mind listing the preferred format for submissions and so on?
For example, you thanked mcchordsage for submitting a Word doc so we can probably be safe in assuming that Word is better for you to work with than other document types but what about images, is it better to submit articles with formatting or leave them unformatted (e.g. for weapon/vehicle cards) etc. etc.?

I guess what I'm saying is if we can make it easier for Olefin to work with, then the sooner we can get new issues of the fanzine!

I might be up for doing something. Will need to have a think though.

Hmm ok - word is preferable (unless its an excel chart you want to send - i.e. for a list of units, etc..). Dont worry about the version - I will be converting to a pdf at the end

As to the format - set for Times New Roman font 11 no spacing and line spacing at exactly 11pt - thats the format that Marc wanted me to use when I did the East Africa sourcebook - for titles or other things go to font size 12 and bold -

if you use pictures of your own please say so if not then give me the link to where you got them so I can give credit similar to the last page of the Sourcebook and how Raellus did his two books.

Have to find out from Marc but assume it will be a free post like Colonial Times which considerably changes what you can use for pics versus a pay zine or book

I might be able to help with pics, particularly of UK related bits.

For the insatiably nosy among us, how're things going Olefin?

[Olefin]

so far have only received one submission - which is yours - waiting to hear back from Marc to give his ok but may just do it myself - but be nice to have him bless it officially if possible

[mcchordsage]

Okay.

I may be able to get some artwork for my article but said artist is traveling right now so I can't ask.
