hey my friend and i are starting an online magazine and would like some writing from people in there

if anyone has anything (from poems, to stories, to articles on anything from music to computers to haunted places) then please send it to ankillians@yahoo.com

all id like is your name (it'll just be by unknown if you dont include it, or you can have a codename), if its about a product or a movie then we'd like a rating and a title would be nice

if your interested in it more than just writing for it, just ask in an email

You'll have to offer more than that. In fact, you don't really give any incentive at all. You don't punctuate or capitalize, "codename" would probably be better understood as "pen name," or "handle," and you don't even have a website yet, or rather don't mention one..

You're just telling me to send you my work? Why?

(I'm being deliberately harsh; I want to see what you actually plan on doing with this. What's the URL? What's the theme? What's the name? Why should we submit our work to you?)

Well, the magazine is going to be covering several topics. Here is a list of them.

I understand that we are trying to cover a rather wide range of topics, but our goal is to offer at least a little bit of everything to everyone, or at least to as many people as we can. We are serious about starting and creating this magazine, and I have actually been working on setting up everything we need to do so for several hours a day. It is to be called, "Curiosity Kills Magazine," and we have only recently started the project. The webpage is going to be http://www.curiositykillsmagazine.com, but because of the fact that I am actually setting up the server on my home computer, and am currently on vacations, I have not been able to get it up and running

We do currently have a few writers, but we are hoping that we will be able to find more who are willing. Also if you want to be more involved than just sending in work here and there you are welcome to become a full-time writer in which you'll get a portion of the website containing your profile and you will get much more acknowledgement than you would if you were not. If you chose not to be a major writer, ALL of your work WILL be under your name, or the name you wish to be known by.

At the moment we are a non-profit organization because we are simply trying to get ourselves known. In time we hope to be profitable and possibly be able to pay our writers, but that is not our main goal at all. Our goal is to simply supply a magazine for the public that covers the given topics, hopefully giving a little bit to everyone who reads our magazine.

Ilan Bouchard, i hope this is enough of an explanation of our magazine and the reasoning behind it.

Thank you, goodbye.

I hope I didn't sound too harsh, but it certainly conjured the comment I hoped for; a legible, mature-looking response that makes the magazine much more appealing.

Please, don't worry about your original reply, it made me realized that a simple ad is not going to attract the kind of people that we are looking for.

Hey Null. Do you think you will have room for some column writers? If you'd accept, I'd love to do a Linux (operating system) column. Tell me what you think, it seems you are covering it.

As i always say, the more the better, and personally I would love to have a column on Linux. If you would like more information on the magazine or about anything related you can email me at ankillians@yahoo.com, instant message me on AIM at ILLHHD, instant message me on MSN at hollowhd@hotmail.com, or just post anothe rreply here.

I'd love to have as many column writers, or any kind of writers, as possible

=)
thanks, null
