No, we were running to a quarterly timetable. Isn't quarterly every three months? So I won't feel pressure for another 2.5 months We weren't expecting to be doing TZ4 at all. You and Zanshin were going to do TZ4 and we were going to start up with TZ5. Which would have given us plenty of time to come up with a layout we were happy with before we were put under pressure to get an edition out. Sad fact remains, without a cover it's academic. We have a brilliant picture but we don't want to start with something on the cover that everybody has already seen. I think people would be disappointed.

LOL, quarterly means it's due now. ;D That's not completely true. But I'm not going to argue about it. You guys wanted to do it, so we passed it over. I, like many other people are wondering when it will be ready. So I'm hearing March? Not sure on the cover, what's more disappointing having a cover that a few of us have seen or waiting until March for the Zine? Our policy was go with what we've got. I'm not trying to stir the pot here, I'm a big fan of the Zine and want the next Issue.

No, all the messages on the board were : were doing TZ4 and that's the last.
Suddenly the whole lot was dumped on us.
Personally I would have said no to TZ4, but Sligo is up for trying.
We don't have all the articles back from proofing yet and we don't have enough art.
We have to wait for both
If 3 months is due now then you should have already turned over a completed issue 4 as you would have started the layouts 3 weeks ago and all of the art and proofed articles would have been finished before Sligo stepped up.

Hindsight is 20-20. Just know that we're getting there. Article-wise, we have the articles selected for TZ4 and mostly proofed and editd. We have several articles in advance for TZ5 and even one for TZ6. The editors are doing an awesome job, and I'm not complaining a bit about their turn-around time.
We just need artwork!!!!!

Of course, you have to talk to the artists first...

We have made the decision to not use artwork culled from public sources, anything advertised as "free" or whatever. We will only use original artwork sent to us directly from the artist. If that means the magazine doesn't have as much art as we'd like, then that's what it means.
We have posted here and on the Walla repeatedly our request for artwork. We are grateful for those who have responded and offered to contribute. The artists in this community are extremely talented and capable, but at the same time, we recognize how busy they are and have very limited availability.
Speaking of that, Bily, I don't have your contact info. Send me a Private message and I'll send you the submission email address. As I mentioned before, I'm willing to advertise your offerings, and if there's any artwork you'd like to create for us, there's plenty that we need.
Actually, Quog, that goes for you, too... Though we do have some stuff from you already. (at least I think I do...)
Thanks!

For Ordo Draconis we used to issue specific messages on the RPG messageboards such as RPG net and ENWorld, calling for artwork. Only ever put these announcements/calls in the artwork section where the artwork requests are understood to involve no payment (they all have such a section) and you can usually recruit many people within a few weeks.

I was just wondering... did the artwork I submitted to Zanshin get forwarded to the new editors? If not I can resubmit it.

Steve That would require me to sign up and be active on those boards... Well, maybe not, but still. I was just wondering... did the artwork I submitted to Zanshin get forwarded to the new editors? If not I can resubmit it. I believe so... I have the art in folders labeled by artist real name, and unfortunately, I don't know what your real name is so I can verify.
