This is an awesome idea.
I edited/wrote most of the college rag for a while, so I'd be happy to help. I mean, you guys have probably got the humour side dealt with and I imagine there are more qualified people on the editing front, but that's what I've got.

Thank you for the offer! You'll probably get taken-up on it.

If it's agreed that this thing will go ahead, then I'd like to suggest that we set the submissions deadline for early-March, giving everyone a fair bit of time to come-up with something. I'm reasonably confident that the Bomber can be assembled and published with relative ease, provided that people get stuff in on time and the people who said they'd donate money keep their word.

I am going to contribute a short story. Or possibly a poem, depending on what happens.

Who is doing the layout? To whom will submissions be made (by Monday, March 7)?

To anyone who is writing something they'd like an illustration done for, you should probably post about it in advance (or PM the person you want to illustrate for you), so illustrators also have ample time to finish as well. (i.e. if someone doesn't finish their writing until March 5, that would suck for the illustrator[s])

we want it

(I know I know)

I would do layout if I had any idea how you do this kind of thing.

If illustrations would be appropriate, I for one would be interested in that.

I have ideas for articles, but can whoever is in charge give me an idea of word or page count restriction? or do we all design our own pages zine-style

I wish I had the capacity to do much aside from offer my services as an illustrator to whoever may happen to have an essay/article/short story/etc.

Oh! I guess I could do some new Love Letters!

Hmn.

this thing needs some serious management

we need a page designer, an editor, someone who will print it/ship it

i'd volunteer but i don't think i have it in me to do any of this, honestly, but dang someone step up pls

i think it is more than agreed that this should and will go through and exist; we only need a few people to help keep it organized, and tbh i'd propose setting the date back to may or june to attempt a midyear release, i dunno maybe that's already the idea, but something can hardly be called the 2011 edition if it's written during the first two months of 2011 imo

Yeah, if the timeline is extended, I could definitely handle layout. But I've got my own project that will be taking up most of my time from now until mid-summer at least.

Let's push it back, then. March might be a good time to get something to your illustrators.

would it be unreasonable to include a CD insert of original music?

It seems like it might make this thing more expensive to produce, but I am not sure if it would be a significant increase. How cheaply can we make CDs/ a sleeve for the disc? My first inclination is to say "include everything." My second, more reasoned impulse to to say, "get other TaBB musicians to contribute some material, so that it isn't just one dude on the disc."

it uh

it turns out my brother is once again recording and releasing music so... i guess i could ask him? i expect he's researched various cheap options over the years, and i don't recall him complaining ever again like the first EP (they got a batch of CDs burnt and did the slipcases themselves iirc)

might take a while, i'm not sure i have an email for that brother and he works weird hours on his regular job

is what i meant naturally

i dunno CD-Rs and sleeves aren't that expensive
but if that's too low-production then nevermind

one of my bros did a zine and included a CD at the back in a really neat way

there was a little foamy circle thing glued to the inside back cover, the size of the hole in the middle of a CD

and it held the CD perfectly

those would be super cheap imo and I could ask him where he got em

Yeah, I'd really like to record some things to put in there, too, but I didn't think it'd be something we could do. If we can, then I'll add something to the mix.

Stuff like that seems contingent on how we decide to publish it. If people are buying their own copies from a publishing website, that might make things difficult. Unless someone makes a bunch of CDs and then ships them out to everyone, separate from the magazine.

Has any decision been yet regarding how it'll be printed? It seems like there's an even split between something like magcloud and someone just printing it and shipping it out. If we're going to include extra items, the latter is probably the best way of going about it.

Kfunque, if you're serious about doing the layout, then thank you. I was going to volunteer, but all I have going for me is youthful optimism and Microsoft Publisher. It's also probably best to make sure important jobs go to people who've been around for ages and aren't likely to vanish any time soon.

The number of pages per person depends on printing cost in relation to number of contributors, so I can't really figure that out right now.
