Matt, just a suggestion, but perhaps you might consider including clone
brands a little more. Maybe something like a "Clone Corner", a one page
column in every issue on clone brand issues. Personally, I have never
bought any clone brands, nor would I ever, but I suggest it as a way to make
the magazine more well rounded. Other hobbyist mags that I have seen are
usually more broad than just one manufacturer. Also, if you needed to
supplement funds and make it into a commercial magazine (i.e. if you plan to
sell advertisement space), then an an occasional half-page or full-page add
from a clone brand might be reasonable (presuming a similar amount of space
is offered to TLC also). (And naturally, some ad space might be sold to
owners of Bricklink stores and the like too.) (For one-time sellers, you
might offer a classified section in the back...)
Again, just suggesting things at this point. I haven't seen the preview
yet, so maybe you've already considered such.
Looking forward to the outcome of all this,
-Hendo
