Unfortunately, I think this is a bad idea. The lack of centralized
authority means nothing will get done. It will be the "I thought you took
out the dog" problem. Instead I offer the following. I used to be editor
of the Drew University literatry mag. I can do the layout and make the
print sheets and stuff. (I'm working on getting copy of Aldus Pagemaker.
If anyone has ideas please let me know. Even an old version would be
fine.)
The only problem is that I can't spell and am certainly not the best
person for editing someones grammar. Instead, what we might want to do is
devide the task. Have two people volunteer to "edit" then give the copies
back to me (or other editor if I'm not elected). The editor will layout
the final version and have things ready for print.
The number of submissions that come in and the amount of resouces for a
printing will determine whether all submissions can be taken or not. This
will probably be something only the editor has time to decide, since we
can't really meet to discuss the stories before hand.
Anyway, I propose the submission deadline be June 1, a nice round
number that everyone can remember.
All submissions should be in RTF format (Rich Text Format, under
Save-As). That way it can easily be imported to other computers.
Well, let me know if this sounds good or not.
