Dear all,
After a break that has stretched out longer than I would have liked, the Dark Magenta website is back up at
www.darkmagenta.co.uk. Many thanks to Jack for getting the site back.
The collapse of the website has been a serious inconvenience. However - to be honest - Dark Magenta Issue 4 had been struggling to get going before that. There were two issues causing the problem:
We Need Articles: Our supply of articles had largely dried up, and Robey and I were left having to poke and prod people desperately to convince them to produce something for us. Given that people always tell us they liked what we produced, it would be much easier for us if they submitted some content! If you think you've got an idea, then have a look at the submisison guideline son the website, and you can always drop me a line (PM, e-mail, or at editor@darkmagenta.co.uk) to ask if it's suitable.
We have a special need for modelling articles - you can see the sort of thing we're after by looking at previous issues.
We Need Staff: Again, to be honest, by the end of Issue 3, the magazine had become something of a two or three man job, so we need new staff to help us out. Robey, Simon and I have all commited to the project once more, but we need some others. Not too many - I think we'll slim down the operation from the last time - but another two or three volunteers would be appreciated. If you're interested in helpig out with a fairly low-effort task, then drop me a PM, and I'll circulate an e-mail to the new team in a week or so and get the ball rolling again.
Many thanks, one and all - we'll get our magazine (and sourcebooks!) back on it's feet soon!
