    I don't know how many of you know this, but I create and publish the newsletter for my local branch of the society for Creative Anachronism. It's a medieval history re enactment organization. (I also make and sell medieval themed stuff on Etsy, but that's by the by.)

    I would be willing to Pilot a small e-zine for lustria is people would write articles about any topic. All I'd need is a word doc with your text and then Img files of any images you'd like in the piece. I'd also look into/take suggestions on getting some artwork done for a cover and page border.

    If anyone is up for this let me know.

    Interesting, and fun, and would like examples of what you mean, but I guess the flaw here is why put something in a word doc, send it to someone else, have them post it it in an e-zine, when it could be a new post?

    Because I'll input it into the E-zine and make it look pretty. The word doc is just the easiest document type to transfer from

    So formatting ("look pretty") is the only advantage over publishing right here in the forum?

    We could distribute our Seraphon propaganda elsewhere though!

    So, an E-zine is something that turns up in the Email? Or is it a hosted webpage somewhere..?

    E-zines are fairly popular, and it gives people a way to store stuff on their readers and phones for later reading. It can also draw people to the forums and boost posts as people will want to see what people are working on (the rough draft phase) before putting it in one document.

    Sorry, I'm a game designer by trade.
