bump

last bump for information

>>348878
CAN I STILL SEND IN ADMISSIONS

>>349016
We'll try to include it on the first issue, but submissions for the debut are pretty much done.

Also, does anyone here knows how do we do this copyright stuff?

What's the point of this when it'll only reach other anons and the writing will be shit to below average?

Looks good! how do I get a copy?

>>348878

any new material for our website/domain?

>>349048
Soon enough.

>>349043
We're releasing it sometime between today and March 13.

>>349040
Because we want so.

>>349035

my understanding of it is that whoever wrote each submitted work is the owner of said work and ultimately has the say in what license they use

having said this i feel we need to strongly encourage the Creative Commons license

>>348878

How do I submit for the next one? I just published my first volume of poetry privately and want to share.

>>349056
so it'll be in the shops? do I dl a pdf?

I'm surprised it actually worked.

Congrats anon

>>349063
oh shit i think i pissed sysop off because i posted something in one of their CP threads eloquently explaining how pedophiles are scum and worthless pieces of shit... note the all caps lol

>>349065
We need to set this shit somehow... I just don't know why an all editors are busy with their own work.

>>349077
Well, just submit it, because it'll be automatically pushed to the next release.

>>349082
We'll provide a dl link here from both our private server and mediafire, the link will also be displayed on the wiki.

>>349084
I know how you feel :3

>>349085
Exquisite.

>>349085
It's a spambot.
Download greasemonkey + the '4chan filter' script (4watch is good too). Read the how-to and now you can filter all of that faggot's spam.

>>349154
Does 4chan's Auto-Reloader still works?

>>349158
I don't see why it wouldn't, I don't know what that is though.
If you mean the reloadevery addon for ff then yes it will still work.

>>349171
the auto-reloader stopped working after some crazy ass 4chan update they made some time ago.

In all countries that are members of the Berne Convention copyright is automatic, and need not be obtained through official registration with any government office. Once an idea has been reduced to tangible form, for example by securing it in a fixed medium (such as a drawing, sheet music, photograph, a videotape, or a computer file), the copyright holder is entitled to enforce his or her exclusive rights. However, while registration isn't needed to exercise copyright, in jurisdictions where the laws provide for registration, it serves as prima facie evidence of a valid copyright. The original copyright owner of the copyright may be the employer of the author rather than the author himself, if the work is a "work for hire".

>>349208
Berne you say...

>>349208
This meaning we're already the owners of everthing? I mean, we've got logs, every version of the cover and the texts and everthing... They can't prove we aren't the ones behind everthing.

>>349223

uhhh yeah that is what i said. basically it means a vast majority of the countries in the world.

I didn't get a chance to finish anything for this issue, but I am fucking excited about this. Awesome job, anon!

>>349232
We look forward for your works anon. We're now gathering works for the second issue.

>>349225

the only thing i'm worried about is if somebody starts to make the argument that it was not work for hire and that they were not "employed" by anybody.

btw, i would like to mention that i do work in a legal office so i can ask the attorneys that i work with about this, and if they don't know personally they will be able to get me the resources that has specific case law that is related to this situation.

>>349250
It would be kindly appreciated, admin.

>>349248
Are you going to try and shoot for monthly issues or are "When we have enough for XX amount of pages" approach?

>>349260
If we get enough serials, we're making it bimonthly.

Pretty sure an actual attorney on here offered you guys advice on copyright in an earlier thread. Maybe you should check your e-mail or ask for him on here.

How picky are the editors? Meaning, is it more of a free for all of work as long as it isn't troll bait or just shit poor grammatically or will each piece of work be "reviewed" before put into to avoid trite shit?

>>349250
Caesar, we're forwarding an important email to you now.

>>349270
We haven't received any replies from him yet.

>>349271
Exactly that. The only thing we do is put the best works on the cover and on the top of their categories. Talent and quality deserve praise.

How are we supposed to get ahold of the zine?

>>349270

but you dont remember what he said?

okay, fine i'll just take your advice:
O ATTORNEY, ATTORNEY, WHEREFORE ART THOU ATTORNEY?

>>349287
Ahold's a word?
We'll provide a dl link here from both our private server and mediafire, the link will also be displayed on the wiki.

>>349290
Eh?

>>349284

Ok i got it, this is going to take a while. I'll be back in a little while.

>>349290
No, I didn't screencap the thread and memorize his legal advice. My apologies, random tripfag.

>>349290
A Shakespearean play about a lawyer. It could work as both a comedy and a tragedy!

>>349299

your sarcasm: it stings.

>>349302
I liked.

>>349302
Judge:How does thou plead?
Plaintiff: Behold! I present thou a plea of innocence!
Jury: Treacherous!

>>349334
Random guy on the background: VILLAINY I SAY!

>>349310
Hey editor man, I'm the guy that made a few category covers in the other thread. I'd be happy to do them regularly if you're interested.

>>349307
Not it doesn't.

>>349343
I think we might need your work...

Drop us an email, we'll keep you up to date with everthing.

>>349352
Will do.

>>349335
Member of the jury: Burn him to a stake! He speaks the lies of a whore!
Judge: Order or I will behest my guards to place you into confinement until you become bedlum!

>>349362
Jury: Off with ye head devious fiend!

>>349348

yes it does. your sarcasm was biting. it was a compliment.

>>349368
>>349362
>>349335
>>349334
I smell a Tony!

>>349343
that sounds really excellent, I'm for it

annnnnd

>>349298
you seem to be exactly the kind of person we need for the zine . Can I offer you a potential position as our legal advisor? (however, we'll need to get a vote from all our editors first)

>>349378
I concur of this and Goodrick also does.

so i cannot physically hold this in my hands
fuck this

>>349394
awesome, than it's valid.

>>349374
Caesar !6eppdDWDDo , We'd be glad to have you as legal advisor if interested you can contact us at zinewritersguild@gmail.com, or If you've already left this thread, we'll send you an invitation e-mail.

>>349409
Thou upset?
You could still easily print it out.

>>349419
oh, and tripcode so it's valid

>>349378

i'm already the webmaster for the (hopefully) soon to be public website and download server.

as far as legal advisor: let me further describe what i can bring to the table. i work in an office with attorneys, paralegals, and law students. all of whom have varying degrees of knowledge regarding different aspects of the law. this place of employment does also allows me a great deal of resources (e.g. lexis-nexis, westlaw). i will attempt to help in this capacity as much as possible regardless of official title or not. having said that, i sincerely appreciate the consideration and either way you already have my email address and i am currently reviewing the prior legal advice that has just been forwarded my way.

>>349420
yeah that sounds like tons of fun

>>349435
You expect a free literary magazine run voluntarily with zero income to be available NOT digitally? Are you fucking stupid?

>>349427
ah, well this is an unexpected blessing. Goldensox has generally been in charge of communications, so I'll leave you to him. Still, It's great to have you on the team!

>>349422
If you guys need it, I have a web host that I don't use at the moment that you could use to host files. I know that you're not going instantly trust a random anon, but if need be later on, I'll shoot you guys an email about it if you need it.

>>349440
i am not stupid just inconvenienced

>>349460
Inconvenienced by reading a free collection writings and art from fellow anons put together by volunteers?

>>349476
inconvenienced by a digital release

I was a naysayer at first but I really have to hand it to the editors. Thanks for putting this together, guys. I haven't submitted as of yet but definitely look forward to in the future.

>>349454
cool. We've got a lot of things going on, but you can e-mail us at zinewritersguild@gmail.com

and, there was an anon in this thread a while back interested in doing covers. Please e-mail us at the same address: we'd looove to have another graphic artist on-call

>>349496
Thanks, it's nice to know that our work on the zine is being appreciated :)

sent emails regarding the license and the website update

sage here reminding all you how fucking gay this is

>>349655
awesome, I looked them over and replied to one of them.

>>349685
Can someone explain why this is gay?? Isn't this just bringing more attention and criticism to ones work? I still think this is a great idea.

>>349696
People are stupid, who cares, etc.

>>349696
this particular sage has been negative about the zine in just about every single thread. He/Her is generally convinced we're trying to steal valuable writing, or something. Either that or he/she is actually a member of our competiting zine (which has one sage member)

bump.

Any contributors wanna share a slice of their work?

>>349955
well, that's kinda the point of having a release date. However, I'll give you a teaser of our current submission titles...

>>349983
damn, that sounds interesting just by the titles alone.

here's hoping the date for release gets pushed up soon.

>>349991
yeah, we were considering maybe pushing it up to the 5th, but no guarantees. It's quite simple to check submissions for typos and then classify them, really.

>>349035
Mail a few copies of it to yourself, and keep the sealed envelopes. If you ever find someone stealing something, take them to court. When you come before the judge, show him the postmark and have him open one of the sealed envelopes to see the contents. This is irrefutable evidence that you created it, and will show the exact date that it was created.

>>350005
My friend told me about this. No troll this is true

>>350005
kinda hard to tell of you're serious, but we'll consider it. We've got the creative commons copyright agreement in place right now, so we're basically okay.

Category cover fag here.

Should have paid more attention to the OP post. Yeah, I suck.

So category covers are ONLY for the wiki? So you need graphic art for the OP cover image as well, right? What will that be based on?

>>350015
uh, I'm pretty sure what happened is

A) we only had goldensox doing it and after 5 different requests he just gave up

and

B) Some guy complained on the wiki about it being a bad idea. He had some good points, actually.

However, I'm sure we could find a place for you to do cover art/ table of contents. We really need graphic artists

>>350023
Ah, okay. My original contributions that ZWG Editor liked were for category covers, so I assumed that was on. And that was what I emailed you about.

I'm happy to do table fo contents or proper release covers as well, of course. I was just confused. Regardless, I've emailed you lot already, and am happy to offer whatever graphic art you'd like.

>>350034
really? I don't handle e-mails, so I wouldn't know. If you want, you can send me another one at ftwlit@gmail.com. We really need a table-of-contents guy, and Goldensox is reputably sick with some sort of illness

>>349983
>>'The only night
>>Untitled

Oh, hey, I'm fairly early on in the Zine.

I thought i might have submitted late.

>>350046
Can't comment on Goldensox, but whomever posts as ZWG Editor, as well as the other editors in this thread, have presumably seen my work in the other thread for category art, and wanted more. But apparently category art is just for the wiki and not the real release? If that's the case, I'd be more interested in doing cover art, as I don't think people will flock to the wiki to see random art aimed at the categories...

>>350055
nah, you were one of our earlier submissions. Note however that this is not organized by date recieved.

>>350058
yeah, there's really no point in doing wiki art. You'd be much better put to work doing covers and other things that really need getting done. If we had two graphic artists, we could probably get some of the cooler submissions with an illustration, or something. Whatever the case, it sounds good to me

>>350064
That sounds fine to me, as well. As I mentioned in my e-mail, basing artwork around the lead submission, the first selected story, would be great. So I'd be happy to do that if category art is now dead (within the last 14 hours apparently? :P). I've emailed the OP email with my previous category art, and would be happy to do more. Let me know.

>>350067
okay. We use a collective e-mail, so I might be able to respond and look at it. One sec

>>350064
Oh, Awesome.

Now time to wait for negative feedback.
;_;

>>350082
actually, we've sent that out those to one of our newer editors, Chantrelle. We haven't heard from him in a while, so I might end up looking it over myself...

>>350086
Also, Get in anything that was so bad you had to turn the sender down?

>>350090
uh... we got one that was pretttyy bad. But, we're not turning anything down. Additionally, we got another that I initially thought was plagerism, but apparently the author had simply been revamping a public domain work. So it was all okay.

>lazarus in the house of hrothgar is me, BTW. I look forward to seeing it gutted.

>>350091
I'm kinda iffy about my "Untitled" one i submitted because i showed it to a friend of mine and he told me Bukowski had written something similar. ((Using a dog as an allegory for a woman, etc.))

>>350096
nah, both of them are pretty good really. "untitled" is certainly the weaker of the two, but that's really because theres not that much happening in-story IMO.

Alright, 2:00 here, I'm going to bed. Good night, anon.

>>350106
Thank you for that, most of people I've shown them to like the untitled one better, which i don't understand. ((Some thought i was actually talking about a dog, which kind of confuses me)). I might start sending my three part story in about my trip to San Francisco with a friend, It's written in the style of Hunter Thompson.

>>350112
Peace Prole.
