I'd may like to contribute to this as well, almost any section in this would be suitable. (more preferred for graphic designs, but I'd help in other ways as well)

Well it'd be kinda fitting if there was a section for artwork from the community in this magazine, since everyone seems to want that. It'd be nice to have, since a lot of people draw and design on this forum, generally. Like fanart or some shit, idfk

Unfortunately, due to the overall lack of response from the majority of kthe tesm. Im going to have to write most of the content myself this issue.

Ill habe sign ups posted at the end of the issue as well to help for next months.

Damn....Gathering information and writing it in an enjoyably, readable format, is easy.
Or at least I think my skill is decent enough.

This is a shame to hear after patiently waiting for the first Scoop Issue.

I have notes set up when I turn on my laptop so I will make it the first thing I see, I am a moderately fast typer and will make sure to notify you if I have any issue on meeting a deadline. Just tell me what to do and I will do it to the best of my ability.

Well aside from some proof reading I'm out of time to get people on this issue.
I'll start assigning new positions shortly after we release this first issue.

Well, I'm not one to bump, but I think this deserves the attention.
First issue is complete! I wasn't able to get any of the teams content except for Oxobs tutorial and a quick interview with Haze which Ill consider including in the next issue pending finding out who the author is.

Looking for new members!
http://issuu.com/stickpage/docs/issue1

I'll get it up on the front page ASAP.

I'm on page two and I've already spotted at least 6 or 7 grammatical errors.. I'm finding more just by skimming through the other pages. The formatting looks awesome, but there are missing articles, syntax/grammar issues, run-on/fragmented sentences..

I'd be willing to help out as a proofreader/editor.


I'm also trying to put together an extremely comprehensive tutorial on animation fundamentals, I could make it specifically for the magazine if you'd like.

I'm definitely in need of help. Its not the easiest thing to try and write all 18 pages, 10 days late and still have to have something to show for it. It does have its errors, but I did the best I could while still keeping my schedule.

I'm in need of dedicated individuals with decent writing ability. Obviously, in order for a magazine to be interesting we have to find valuable information. At the very least- insight into info you wouldn't otherwise know or find out. That's my overall goal for the magazine.

proof reading might just be one of the bigger jobs just because of the sheer volume. The further we get along, the more writers, the more content, the more proof reading that will be required.

Well I have a ton of downtime at work that I mostly spend between here and a few other sites. For 9 hours a day, 5 days a week I'm probably the most active member around here.

Between the time I have and how fast I read, volume isn't really an issue. It probably takes longer to write one article than it'd take me to proofread the entire magazine.
