I've been wondering about this for a while, and where better to ask than in a slash guild! smile

Basically if there were to be a magazine dedicated to slash what would you want in it? Articles? Fanfiction? Original stories? Purely m/m slash or both m/m and f/f? Manga type stories? Photo strip stories (like the type they used to put in magazines like Jackie)? Pics of slashy moments between celebs?

If they did have a slash magazine would you buy it? And do you think it would sell at all, or is slash (aimed at girls) too much of a minority subject that even Koi Carp World would outsell it?

I'm just interested in what other people think, I'd love to see slash getting a bigger audience here but in reality it's unlikely. Still I thought I could see if other people want to see magazines and whatnot dedicated to it - or if I'm just odd.

I'd buy a slash magazine!!! It would be so cool. ^_^ I'd ever see if I'd be able to submit some work! ^_^

Ditto to what Wendy Moon said. It would
be a good idea but the up keep may be a
little costly until it became frequent!

It's my goal in life to start a Slash mag ^_^ I think it'd have to start out on the net first, and then to stores. But it wont be long, it use to be that you'd have to go to China town to get aything that resembled anime, and now it's everywhere!

I’d help you out! Find all the really good pics, ask artists to submit their work, and everything, it would be so fun. ^_^

*makes all kinds of interested noises* maybe I should start an online mag???
PostPosted: Sun Oct 03, 2004 10:59 pm


YES!! Do it!! I'll read it... I'd even help out if I could think of something helpful I could do. Hmm I draw a little (mainly faces since I'm still working on getting the bodies to look good) and I might be able to write something. Oh well... I'd help with anything you can think of but if not it definatly sounds interesting!! whee

I don't really have many skills. I like to THINK I can write, but I really can't sweatdrop

I would volenteer to be the cheerleader, but I don't like wearing pink...

An online mag is such a totally cool idea, I'd love to help out in any way I could. My fanart/fanfiction stuff isn't overly wonderful (though I like to try and inflict it on the poor unsuspecting public!) but I like to research and write articles and things like that.

Draupnir2005 surely you'd wear pink for the greater good... Lol. smile

A dark blue with a gold trim would be nice ^_^

I've been thinking about it a bit and I'll more then likely do a mag, however, the first 'issue' probably wont be out till late january, between christmas and me moving I'm hard pressed for time as it is, but I'll give it a go, what things would you like to see, who would you like to interview?

I would buy it if there was one, (my mum would have a hart attack) And an online mag would be even better (need any help ask)

The idea is really cool,

But I agree with Gean...an online magazine would be better
