Please don't hate me but....

Say what you will.

Okay. This is fucking spam

The editor has asked me to post on some popular forums, so I am. We're all doing this together from our own pockets and trying to make it work - and I figure that's something you guys can relate to.

On what grounds do you have to make that statement? Nine or some odd posts into your stay here, three or more which are in this thread. How can you possibly think you'd know what we'd relate to?

If I didn't care about horror, I wouldn't slog my guts out producing a mag.

Bullshit. I'm a writer, one who's gotten paid for some work several times. I do all kinds of shit I hate to write, like copy for webpages that sell fishing lures. I respect the fact that you're trying to get a magazine out, but that statement just reeks of desperation to prove yourself.

Like I said, we're on our own out here, so with no massive distribution deal, and no huge advertising budget.

Again, I respect the fact that you're trying to produce an indy magazine. I've worked for a few, and it's hard. However, we didn't waste our time spamming message boards trying to advertise. We were out handing out copies for free, homemade flyers and such trying to get people interested. I have no testaments to your magazine. You've offered no samples whatsoever to the writing/article quality. I see a post that alludes to one 80's horror movie & two that came out this year. Other than that, it looks like a bunch of shitty bands with one or two horror articles thrown in. Why the hell would I be willing to pay so much money for that?

It's not spam cos I'm not just some fcking bot leaving a trail of badly spelt shite across anything with a forum.

I'm sure anyone could see the irony in that. Unless you were trying to be cute by mispelling fucking, and intentionally used spelt (which happens to be a species of wheat from the bronze age) then I'm assuming that's the writing quality I can find in your zine. I'll pass.

Anyway...

Anyways what? Is that some sort of snide remark because you think you've "pwned" the people here who are calling you out? Far from it.

So now I'm challenging you to bring it on. If this is truly your labor of love and you have no interest in anything else than writing for your own horror magazine, prove it. What articles do you have lined up? Surely you're not just going on the fly. Any information on upcoming issues? I can read a thousand peoples opinions on the DVDs that just came out this month for free. I can go out and pick up a cutting edge copy of Fango if I'm dying to read a director's interview. What are your takes? What sets you apart from the rest? Ultraviolet & The Hills Have Eyes? That's some old news for a horror magazine. Or are you a metal magazine? You said bring it, so let us know: What's so fucking great about your mag that we need to pony over our cash to see?

Okay, okay. I'm overly full of bile today. I apologize.

It was still a lot of good points, Crunchy.:p

And I have to say that the act of dissecting and quoting somebody's post so diligently is somewhat disturbing.

Surely addressing the issue in general is the reasonable way to respond, and perhaps the relevant elements contained within the last post - pasting and rubbishing every bloody sentence shows great defensive irritation and suggests that the other person is incapable of making a point whatsoever.
