Some technical questions for submissions:
Is there a unified format for submissions to the Trollszine? What style and size font (times new roman, arial, 10 or 12 point? Line spacing? Margins? What file format are the submissions supposed to be (.doc or .pdf)?
I've been looking through all of the posts related to the Trollszine to find an answer to this question but did not find anything. Kopfy asked these questions a while back but I don't think he was answered. Some kind of instructions for authors thread may be a good idea.

Some technical questions for submissions: I forget where I saw it but I believe Quogmyre, who will be working on the layout of the Trollszine, preferred text, *.txt, or rich text, *.rtf, files. If my memory doesn't fail me, I seem to recall that Quog works on a Mac and these formats would translate over pretty well and allow him to jump right into the layout rather than have to strip what was already there, as in the case of a Word Doc, and then start on layout.

I think that's been the idea so far, danhem - not a whole lot of information, true, but I will say that from a layout standpoint, margin, font size, etc - these things may not be retained from the submitted form, and generally 'less-is-more' when it comes to formatting in the source document.

Hi danhem
Yes , sorry for lack of clarity on this. Rich text format or plain text format preferred. I like reading stuff in 12 point.
95% there with the zine content now.
