For Carnage, Apply Within.

I have returned from the Untamed Lands. MOAP is dead.

I should finish my fanfic for the October issue. This means I now have to cut some vulgarity out. But I'm keeping the Shangelli sex scene in!

That sounds great. I actually want to work for a gaming magazine when i finish college, and i just recently wrote a review about Dead Rising, and it would mean a lot if i could submit it.

Not too bad junkie. You guys had a lot of content this month. Although It was a bit all over the place. Try to improve the design a bit...Not a whole lot. I understand it's an "underground" type of magazine.

Don't use pure black ink on a white background. Use a dark grey. Check your lettering spacing and your line height too. Anyway thanks for helping out the community!

We're still working out the kinks, we're still in that "Duhh, wait, what do we do now" stage.

And Greg, submit it if you want to, the emails are on the website.

The Frozen Minority - The most infamous clan borne from the Seventh Column.

The issues will gradually improve as the staff become better coordinated.

At the moment my Thunderbird won't access the appropriate adress so I am all but crippled without another Art Staff member there to help.

We will also become more adept at sending unfinished copies back and forth for editing, software utilisation will improve and I will figure out how to use the damn open office...

Once again, good work Jim. Your hard work is producing great stuff, mate.

OpenOffice will come with time, and it's the only way to ensure all staff can share the same documents, since it will run on Linux, Windows or Mac OS. Not to mention ODT is much lighter than DOC and will allow us to share much easier.

The site is odd as far as email, make sure Thunderbird is set to have the full address in as a username.

And thank you, but this is a group effort now, there's no way I could have put together Issue 2 by myself at all. Thanks to everyone, you're all working equally hard.

To the guys criticzing jim,

The reader was originally going to be printed and mailed, that is why it is not eye-cathcing, so as to save money. Now that jim decided to make it available on the internet, our staff our artists should have it looking pretty good.

Criticism is good though, it's their newsletter after all. Be sure to let us know what works and what doesn't.

It's true, we're trying hard to make the most with what we're using, which is just OpenOffice at this moment. We recognize that the first few issues are going to be the hardest because we are trying to find out what works for the Bathroom Reader and what doesn't. The art staff and I are already bouncing to and from each other as to how to improve the next issue.

All feedback as to how we could improve your reading experience is very welcome.

One more suggestion, try 2-page spread think it'll be more eye-appealing.
