So will this mostly be after the game comes out? Because there won't be any reviews until then. And what sort of interviews were you thinking of doing?

I'm interested, but I would like to find out more before I commit myself to it.

So does that mean you aren't taking anymore applications?

Could you answer my previous questions then? Also what sort of columns are you going to do, i.e. fiction, issues with the game, reports on recent game events etc...

Sure ludio.

So will this mostly be after the game comes out?

Yes, I have plans to launch the newsletter at the beginning of march. Or april, depending on the release date. it will contain news, reviews (of the game), special events, colmuns, anything you couldimagine, thats why i need people to contribute. All you need to do is write the content the senior editor assigns you and i will implement it into that months volume, you will get full credit. Im currently working to get logo's, banners etc... done with my graphics artsist.
