As many of you know, the idea of the Marauder Underground Monthly has been an idea I have had in the works for.. well... forever. I'd like to see this come about into actual being in the next 3 months.
The Marauder Underground will be a (hopefully monthly) missive comprised of community submitted articles and artwork. Think something similar to the Oistar Guide in look (because I can do that, obviously) but far more epic and fresh. Maybe 10 pages to begin with, but nothing is really set in stone.
At this point in time I have a rough idea of what I'd like to see happen, and am putting out a call for collaboration. I've got a submission guideline prepared (thank you for your help, Mad Queen!), and some rough topics/ideas (clearly we need a cats corner, recent tags and workings photo section, and a slogans and phrases section). I'm thinking we will call for submissions 2 months prior to the actual final date to enable a month for submissions to come in, and a month to put it all together.
I can handle most of the work, but would like another set or two of eyes to help with feedback/artwork (my bane when it comes to e-zines)/etc.
If you'd be interested in helping run this project, please drop me a message.
I am hoping there will be enough interest to select a different featured artist each month, whose artwork would grace the cover and potentially some of the pages, as well as the banner artwork for the DKMU page (and possibly group). It'd also be awesome to have a handful of people (5?) who could commit to providing an article or column each month.
If you're interested in submitting, please stay tuned, as a call for submissions should be ready by the end of the month.
I know we've had several attempts similar to this in the past (such as the Oistar Magazine) that have failed, but I am hoping that this will bring new participation, involvement, and oistars into the ring.
On a side note, I am also looking at starting a Glamourbombing e-zine in a similar vein if anyone is so inclined to help with that.
