September's issue of Eighth Plague Magazine is a little late coming out. I have had some computer troubles, but now all is well and hopefully there will be no more delays in future.
The magazine will hence forth be published as a web page, to make distribution and viewing easier and more Legion friendly. There were a few issues last month with people not being able to view the PDF document. Last months issue is still available to anyone who wants it, and instructions on how to obtain it are in the August 2008 section of the Index.
This months issue has some great content. As many of you know, the content of this magazine is supplied almost entirely by the Legion members. As patronage of the Legion becomes more aware of this opportunity, I am certain that the content will become larger.
This month, We have our first ever featured poem, by the August Poetry competition winner, as chosen by you. There is news on what is happening in the cult, to keep you up to date with what discussions, games and competitions are running.
I am very excited to announce we have our first short story ever to be published in Eighth Plague Magazine. It is entitled Immortal Child and will be published here in installments over the next few months. The format is one I have never seen before and it is most compelling to read.
As always, I remind you that content for this magazine is almost entirely Legion member's work. You should all view this magazine as a valuable opportunity to have your work published, your views heard and to give exposure to things you value. Anything that you wish to be published here, be it articles, stories, poetry, artwork, anything, simply send it to ErynTheDamned. This is your magazine. Have your say on what goes into it.
We have Our first ever featured band as well, Spirits of Abomination is a black metal band, of whom Darkness_Odious, a valued member of the Legion is lead vocalist. He has supplied the article for featured band this month. Any other musicians should know that this section of the magazine is available for you as well and if you would like to have your band featured here, just message ErynTheDamned.
This months web store promotion is The Sock Witch. It is a great little Ebay store that sells one of the biggest range of goth socks and accessories available in the southern hemisphere. The owner is a lovely lady who will bend over backwards to help you get the best deal possible, and her postage rates are second to none. I strongly recommend checking out her store.
I am currently looking for magazine staff. The work is volunteer, but I will provide everyone who works on the magazine with a reference. This could be an evaluable opportunity for those looking to start a career in journalism. If you are interested, message ErynTheDamned.
All in all, this is a month of firsts, so enjoy and leave your feedback, ideas, requests ect, in the Eighth Plague Magazine thread, HERE.
Regards,
ErynTheDamned
