Hi folks,
Unless there are any objections, Dan the Man Zanshin will be the inaugural editor for the TrollZine.
Cheers

Thanks Mike...
I am happy to approach this as a cheerleading/coordinating exercise for the material, with Quogmyre doing the layout. Mari Volmar (Ea) has already agreed to do a proof read.
If someone else has the skills and inclination to take this on I will very happily relinquish my role in this, as i really prefer to write stuff.
I will put down a summary of material and contributors so far when i am back at my home pc.
If you wish to submit an article please pm me and i'll pm you with my home email.

I've strong negative feelings about what led to this transition, but I applaud zanshin for stepping up to the plate.

You have my support too, zanshin, for whatever that's worth.
Hogscape, you had my support as well, although I'm not sure if I mentioned it when you first took on the job. I'd have been very interested to see what you could do with the TrollZine.

Thanks Mahrundl! Zanshin will do an awesome job, he was already doing most of the work in the form of drumming up content. I think he shook every T&T tree on the net! He should be mightily exalted.
Don't forget that although we will gleefully download any free, letitimate, quality T&T content, the uninitiated will need more persuasion. Quog will be responsible for that - he has the grim task of laying out the material in an appealing way. Tough job.

Just to follow this up. I am happy to step up to the breach for episode 2, but if anyone else would like to take this on i am very happy to pass stuff on and assist in any capacity (as well as write something) This will be dependent on Quogmyre still being happy to do the major job of layout. Perhaps people should see episode 1 before definitively renewing my contract

Zanshin, even though we haven't seen issue 1 yet, your enthusiasm, encouragement and ability to round up material tells me you ARE the man for issue 2!
I wish Quog all the very best in his layout endeavours, it is a rewarding task but it's hard work.

Thank you Mike. Your encouragement is much appreciated. Quogs work on layout was enormous and IMO very impressive.
Now you have seen my and Quogmyres work I hope you will be happy to give us a stab at doing even better next time.
One of the lessons i have learned is that it needs as many fresh pairs of eyes checking articles as possible. If anyone else is interested in reading an article or two and checking it for typos etc, please say here or pm me, and I'll mail it to you
Also if someone has a hankering to be creative lead on the Zine for number 3+, I'm happy to give you your head and support you however i can.

As I said on another thread, I do proof-reading most days and am pretty practised at it.
If, once everything is laid out you send me the entire PDF, then I can easily go through it pretty quickly for typos. I suspect it will be a lot easier than a 300 page Ph.D thesis!

I can do proof-reading and copy edit too, if you're interested. I was pretty much the sole editor and layout person for a magazine my church used to do, plus I was an apa-hacker for years, so I have some experience in this area.
