Title: Zin Letters and Kalikos needs you help!
Post by: newsalor on July 13, 2004, 12:58:43 AM
This is a plea of help to the tribe.

The Zin Letters is an English-language magazine published by Kalikos - The Finnish Gloranthan Association. Our production deadline for the next issue draws near and a couple of us noticed several errors in articles that had already came back from proofreaders a while ago. We here at the editorial staff are not native english speakers, though the proof-readers were, and if we can't get the magazine published before Ropecon, a Finnish gaming convention, it will cost us. We don't have much time at our hands, but we don't want do print poor quality work.

If you really feel like you are qualified to help us, I ask that you to contact me immediately. We really need your help, because we have to proof-read several articles again in a couple of days.
Sincerely yours,
Olli Kantola

PS. As a bonus, those who have participated in making of the magazine get a free copy.

Looks nice. But just a cover? No idea of what's inside?

Yeah. It's the back cover. We haven't gotten around making an ad yet. It's just a teaser. We'll do an ad after Ropecon.

ATM, we are pretty busy with our con program.
