World Forge Magazine Takes Next Step

Post by **Orleron** » Tue Jul 11, 2006 2:56 pm

Due to the generous support of its members, and the great quality of the content we've been getting, World Forge Magazine is now able to pay a small sum to those who get approved submissions to our issues. You can now earn a small coin for your submission. The rate is 1 cent per two words. A 5,000-word article submission would pay $25, for example. The staff at WFM hopes that this will further increase the quality and number of the submissions, which would increase our ability to give you excellent content. Moreover, we hope that the increased content will attract new members from both outside and inside the Avlis community. The pay hike will be effective immediately for the August issue. Thanks for reading!

Hmmmm, maybe I shouldn't say anything...

Actually, I have a feature article lined up that may need more time, so if anyone has a World feature, or a feature article on World building, and they can get it to me by Saturday, you might still make it into the August edition.

And, as always, I'm looking for good articles about running games, editorials on gaming issues, and our fiction section has been quiet for a while.

If you are not a subscriber to the site you can still mail submissions to me at tripleaught@avlis.org.
If you are a subscriber, you can mail me your work, or post it on the WFM site for me to review from there.

I still need to get my account fixed... it's linked to the wrong account, and when I login the Forums don't show up.

Cancel your subscriptions, and tell me which ones are yours. I'll delete them entirely. When you resubscribe, it should all work.

No. Unless for some reason you write more than $500/year worth of articles for us.

Below that, we don't have to file it, but it is income for you.

*Brings his receipts to PJ* Would you be my accountant?

Seriously though I'd still rather live in the Caymans.

HA! At one point in my life I was offered the opportunity to level up in Finance, but that would have been the Investment Banker PrC and mere bookkeeping would have been beneath me

Of course I would have had to be that division's Tax Clerk biotch for a few years...
