[Dysfunctional Cunt]

I don't think there's any reason this magazine needs to be racist against single dads. Dads can speak as mothers too.

I really didn't mean it that way.  Other than us, I only know of a couple of the guys here who have kids....  They are more than welcome to do their thing...  We could always do the Mr. Mom thing, it would be really cute.

I was just throwing out ideas...

It was a great idea, Khara.  I'm still in if you are.

Yeah, I'm in!!

Who is editing this month's?  What is the main theme do we know?

[Cramulus]

Payne's writing issue 2. Theme: "Elements of New Discordia". (see thread) Val has mentioned she wants to edit an issue but hasn't picked a topic yet. I will be editing an issue as well, but still haven't picked a theme. I'm thinking "Adventure" maybe?

[LMNO]

I think I want to contribute an old but updated essay on the "New Chart", because that expanded the notions and intermingling of Creation, Destruction, Order, and Disorder.

[Cramulus]

awesome! We're going to have a packed magazine!!

Those of you who want to write something, but haven't figured out what, I encourage you to come up with a title for your regular column. Post your fragments of thoughts, and we'll brainstorm and feedback until you feel more comfortable.

I hope you guys are busy writing something for Payne's Issue 2... (theme: The New Elements of Discordia) Payne hasn't been around, but don't hold up on account of him. Post stuff to his thread. If he dies again, I'll pick up where he left off.


I will eventually be doing another issue. Right now the theme I'm leaning towards is "Adventure".

[Telarus]

Ok, I've been poking around with layout, etc. This would be a good point to ask if we want any continuity between issues (table of contents, headers/footers, etc, etc). Also, do we have any art resources that we can use across multiple issues? Do we want to run with the 'Mittens' theme?

gooooood questions

I bet your energy would be best spent constructing a template of some sort so that other aspiring layout dudes could snap together an issue laser pronto doublequick hotcakes.

A standard typeface, wingdings, etc would really help with the magazine feel, too.

For dingbats etc, I suggest fnord.ttf and fnordfont2.ttf, which have a lot of great discordian stamps and crap.

Once you've got a skeleton, please do start a thread for Intermittens layout workshop. We'll squint at it until it looks cool.

[Jenne]

Swinging by to say that Cram, you should add Khara to the "Speaking as a Mother" theme--she and I will hammer out some stuff together.

Khara, pm on the way.

[Cramulus]

[tyrannosaurus vex]

somebody needs to come up with ads to fill up the magazine.

[Rococo Modem Basilisk]

Real ads or fake ads? Or does it matter?

[Cramulus]

I'm pretty sure nobody's gonna pay for adspace, and even someone did, who would make the money?

fake ads could be hilarious though

[tyrannosaurus vex]

yeah. fake ads. which would in fact be hilarious like Cram says.

[Rococo Modem Basilisk]

I'm sure somebody would be willing to pay a stipend for ridiculous ads for companies they dislike to be put in here. Imagine how IBM might react. But I digress.

I'll be willing to attempt to supply some fake ads.

[Manta Obscura]

I'll be willing to attempt to supply some fake ads.

If you put ridiculous ads that have recognizable allusions to companies, either by brand, logo, tagline, jingle or spokesperson, marketing lawyers will swarm all over your ass (no lube) if they so much as catch a whiff of the publication. I work with the bastards all the time, and they're vultures.

Better to just stick with the fake ads. I've always liked the "obscene ads" for fake funniness:
