Would you consider distributing a dead-tree copy of the zine?

@Addison That's a perfect question. This magazine is going to be available in both graphical paper print-on-demand as well as digital release via both plaintext and graphical document.
There's actually an outline I have written up for the logistics, up to and including what's planned for the print and more at this link:
— userfxnet @ flounder | l0tekzineoutline
could it be punctuated with ASCII art and such too? could be epic

@starling another perfect post, also covered in the outline below.
the digital forms, one being a graphical document, the other will actually be TWO forms of text: plaintext, which i'll be editorializing, and a textart ASCII/ANSI version by personnel of ours on the team.
@flipperzero oh cheers! didn't see the outline. i'll be excited to see this, maybe i'll have to make a submission!

@starling By all means! There's info on guidelines for making submission to the zine at the capsule l0tek.press, with address userfxnet@sdf.org for email.
Follow the the guidelines and requirements at the /submission page of the capsule, to help you focus in and base the tone of the composition of your work between your personal account and anecdotes of what you take part in + detail to what the topic is you're covering and your indicriminate take on it.

Good idea. I wish you had a Titan submission form, rather than an email address.

One more comment.
Final deadline: July 15 2024
That's only a week a way. Shouldn't you allow for a bit more time? I'd think at least 2 weeks.

Yes it is short notice, we've been juggling around a couple times now. We'll have another issue coming out after this one and we'll make sure to contact/send/inform people 1 month in advance. If you can't make it for this round, we'll look forward for your submission!
Amazing. I’ll try to write something for
It.
