The World of Avlis

It has been a long time in coming, and now it is finally here! World Forge Magazine is a reality! You may get there through this link: http://www.worldforgemagazine.com/index.php We're gold! Launched! Online! Fired up! So step on in and come see what we're doing!



The purpose of this magazine is two-fold. For this community, its purpose is to keep supporting Avlis. Just as before, when you joined fanfic, you mostly did it to support the community. Now it is the same thing with World Forge. The old fan fiction site has been merged into the magazine. Second, for the world at large, this magazine is an opportunity for people to get some experience with posting their work on games and gaming. World Forge Magazine seeks to give unpublished authors a chance to show their stuff by putting up articles on their home made campaign worlds, as well as thoughts on game design and game mastering. You can find a lot more information on this on the front page of the site. (You don't need to be a member to see the front page.)





The new site has a lot of features that the old one did not have. First off, you can pay what you like! Right now, there's an option to pay $5, $10, or $20 per month, and I should be soon getting to work on an option to pay $50/year. It also has its own set of forums, and much more.



If you are not yet a member of the old fan fiction site, you can join now! The new site accepts credit cards directly! It is not reliant on PayPal.



If you are already a member of fan fiction, your password for the new site has already been emailed to you. If you did not get it, PM me your username and I will get it to you. Old members of fan fiction are automatically transferred to the new magazine. You oldbies have four options:



1) You may cancel your membership at will.



2) You can do nothing. You keep paying your membership on PayPal at $5/month as it has been since you joined Minstrel Fiction.



3) You may cancel your membership and re-subscribe under PayPal with one of the new options: You can choose to pay $5, $10, or $20 per month.



4) You may cancel your membership and re-subscribe with a credit card for $5, $10, or $20/month. We now accept Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, Discover, and JCB.





Last but not least, there are some acknowledgements. First, I want to thank Manuel the White for constructing the site. He put a massive amount of hard work into it, and though you may not be able to see the extent of his work, the administrators of the site are blessed with tons of tools for managing your memberships and your articles, among other things. Second, I want to acknowledge TripleAught, the Chief Editor of the site. He did a grade A job of cleaning up the text and getting it posted on time for launch. Kit our other editor for the site is still fulfilling his role as fan fiction editor, and he has been helping TripleAught.



Staff positions may open on the site. Right now we don't need anything at the moment, but we will let you know if we do. At this point, head on in and check it out!
