Thanks a lot for doing that, that's great.

I do have a question, though. I noticed that several of the fonts in headings were changed--it looks like it put everything in Courier, Times New Roman or Arial except for the fonts I saved as image files. I'm showing my ignorance here, but I thought once something was saved in pdf, it wouldn't change. Can anybody tell me how and why this happens? Thanks!

EDIT: Part of the same question, but where it changed the font in headings, it also changed the spacing between letters.

I loved helping but really I didn't do very much. But thanks for using my definitions!

Thank you for writing them!

And sometimes it's help on the little things that you need most, because those are the things you're most likely to miss.

Holy fuck, I'm halfway through it and it's GREAT! It's really exciting to see materials I haven't read, submitted by people I don't know! Its really inspiring me to put out a call for submissions for my Discordian Parenting book, and have it be a group effort rather than trying to do it on my own.

ONE


MILLION


MITTENS







okay I can't actually fit that many in a post, have a few of the super technicolor mittens instead:

Is wonderful.

In my opinion, Discordianism is half about thinking for yourself in a large group. You really should consider making it a group effort. I know I'd be willing to help (though I'm not a parent, but I was my sister's primary guardian).

As for the new issue:

I'm pretty sure I didn't contribute to this in any significant way (maybe it's one of those chaos theory, butterfly flaps its wings sort of connections) despite the message I got telling me that something I submitted was used.  I do have a tendency to forget most of the most profound, poetic, and/or funny things I say, so it is entirely possible.  That being said, I'm going to proceed to read ever word and take credit for the part I like most.

One of the best MFs in this issue is realizing halfway through Nigel's entry that most people won't know that 'Nigel' is technically female.  

Of course, one would only know this if they had interacted with her before because the article DOESN'T MENTION IT AT ALL.

I'm not positive I have an answer, but here's what I think:

When you export the PDF, notice there's a Fonts tab? It could be that the fonts you chose are not actually embedded in the document. If you click Embed All and re-export it, there might be fonts?

Scribd gets a little bit weird with fonts (and transparency) sometimes. It's kind of erratic and I haven't figured it out yet.

I must say that whatever problems you experienced, the layout is fantastic.

I posted a link to this over on something awful in that thread "tell me about discordianism"

[Sheered Völva]

I'll accept the mittens on behalf of the people who made some great contributions and helped me tremendously. This issue would literally be nothing without them!

[Cramulus]

Honestly, I think you kicked it up to a new level of intermittens. You did a great job of incorporating a broader discordiana. Pope Hilde's interview kicked ass. And some new stuff from Kerry Thornley? That's Bad Ass Texas. It's a good read for both newcomers or long-time disciples. Most impressive.
