I'm now commissioning content for the new Weaponizer Magazine. For those of you who missed the first one, it's still available. If you haven't seen the site before, we publish Fiction and other weirdness - we're coming back online for 2012 very shortly, after recruiting a few new editors. First things first though - I'd like to invite the denizens of Whitechapel to contribute to the magazine. The deadline is the end of February. I've emailed previous contributors, now I'm opening up the submissions to the talented folk who hang out here.

There are a few differences from the last time, let me go over them.

The magazine will be smaller - 46 pages of content not 76. This means the cover price will be lower, and I will be able to provide copies to all contributors in actual magazine form this time.

The interior is black and white - artists take note.

I will be selling copies hand to hand and via snail mail, so it's possible we can take it to some cons and zine fairs, and get it more widely read.

I will be paying contributors. It will be a token payment, and yet to be confirmed in terms of amount... but it will be a paid gig nonetheless.

The theme of this issue will be LITERATURE. Interpret how you will - but for nonfiction articles, basically it needs to have a slant on writing, publishing, ebooks, RPGs.... something to do with storytelling. No film or music pitches this issue please!

I already have some content commissioned, and spaces are filling up fast. So, here's what I am after:

WRITERS
I am looking for the following features / stories:

1 x article / interview (3000 words)
For this one - pitch me your idea before writing it. I'll give you a go ahead and confirm details.

3 x short stories (3000 words)
These don't necessarily have to relate to the 'Literature' theme although it may help you get chosen for print if your story does tie in. Send me finished drafts, I will review and choose the ones I want to publish.

6 x Flash (1200 words)
I've upped the traditional Flash limit to 1200, basically because it fits the page nicely. Again, these don't necessarily have to relate to the 'Literature' theme although it may help you get chosen for print if your story does tie in. Send me finished drafts, I will review and choose the ones I want to publish.

2 x comics
(4 page spread)
Any theme, any topic, as above... send me sample art, or a pitch, and we can discuss... I understand that sending me finished projects is not always viable,

**PLEASE NOTE**
This is super important.... I cannot accept fiction, articles or comics which have already been published elsewhere, including online / on your blog etc. This is because I'm submitting the magazine as part of a Universtity course. If your submission is published elsewhere I will have to turn it down. Sorry!


ARTISTS
All of the above articles will need illustrations. If you would like to contribute, please email me back to confirm this. I will then give you a list of options of stories to illustrate.

A note regarding payment
The payments will be one-off payments for artists and writers. They will be pretty small, I won't kid you.... this is essentially me starting from scratch, with a new format for everything... Nonetheless, paying people for commissioned content is something I want to do. I hope to be able to pay around £10 for long fiction and articles, £5 for flash, and £10 for artwork. This is not a guarantee that I can definitely pay these amounts, just a ballpark figure. However we will nail down a payment framework prior to the magazine being published. There may also be the option, like last time, of advertising your blog / ebook / website / whatever for free in the magazine. I will confirm all these details once I have the content commissioned. I know this is a bit slapdash - it would be better to tell you upfront what you will be paid. However because I'm using a new printer, new distro method, etc etc, I wont know final costs / payments until a bit later in the process. I thank you all for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Please email all submissions or pitches to editor.weaponizer [at] gmail.com by 28th Fenruary! Please include the words 'FOR MAGAZINE' in the subject line of your email.

Good luck! I look forward to reading your submissions and working with you! ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10482&Focus=323476#Comment_323476 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10482&Focus=323476#Comment_323476 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 08:15:54 -0800 texture http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10482&Focus=323477#Comment_323477 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10482&Focus=323477#Comment_323477 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 08:33:39 -0800 sneak046 suspected knew you had something up your sleeve but *now* i'm really excited... ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10482&Focus=323480#Comment_323480 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10482&Focus=323480#Comment_323480 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 08:58:45 -0800 texture http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10482&Focus=323485#Comment_323485 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10482&Focus=323485#Comment_323485 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 09:31:32 -0800 moali http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10482&Focus=323540#Comment_323540 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10482&Focus=323540#Comment_323540 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 04:45:58 -0800 Fauxhammer

I'll second what The Outer Church said, Bram. Kudos for taking that step.

Regards artwork - email editor.weaponizer@gmail.com and I will add your name to the list for the art mailer. Then when I've confirmed stories, I'll parcel out assignments (you'll get to choose what you want to illustrate.)

@Moali - Cover space is bagged by the mighty MIKE ROOTH already. But I have you on the list for illustrating stories. If you want to do what you did last time and submit something you have written and illustrated yourself, that would be immense.

@Afghamistam - Definitely email me to be added to the artist mailer. Interesting you should say that about being paired up with a writer. I got a request from a writer, OLLIE MASTERS, who wants to pair up. If you guys can sort this out between you, and pitch me a concept / a sketch or two, that would be awesome.

@Outer Church - Cheers. I was very keen to pay people this go-round on principle, even if it's a token payment. Isold my first story recently - for like $20 - to a small press, and although it won't pay my bills, it still felt good. The only way I'm going to establish Weaponizer as a 'proper' company is to pay writers and artists for their work.... so I'm starting as I mean togo on. If it's profitable, the payments will get bigger as we go along. Let's see what happens!! ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10482&Focus=323568#Comment_323568 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10482&Focus=323568#Comment_323568 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:58:16 -0800 imaginarypeople i am looking to do some short comics : gallery

I still have available:

One space for a nonfiction article of 3000 words

One space for a 3000 word story

At least four spaces for 1200 words or shorter stories

Two comics slots still to be filled - 4-pagers

I believe I have now replied to all of the text-based submissions received so far. If you've sent me something and I haven't replied, please email me again, or post here.

ie.

panel 1

panel 2

panel 3

etc.

These would take up a quarter-page. Anyone interested? It can be something previously published online, so a good way to advertise your wbcomics site etc.

editor.weaponizer@gmail.com as usual if you have any questions!
