|
| (...) Keith, sorry for the ridiculously slow reply. The reason behind the word limit is that a page layout on BrickJournal is 500-700 words a page, with 30% space left over for photos. With all the stuff coming through for Issue #2, it was (...) (19 years ago, 30-Aug-05, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal, FTX)

| Sounds like a great contest Joe, my only complaint is the 500 word minimum. Some of us only get rolling at 500. -Keith (19 years ago, 23-Aug-05, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal, FTX)

|
| (...) Ya. It was just a gentle ribbing, don't take me too seriously. I love the Rev's work. He is probably the current record holder for the Most Interviewed AFOL though. You should get him to actually write an article - that'd be worth reading. (...) (19 years ago, 29-Jun-05, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal, FTX)

| (...) You do have the advantage of an inside line to the company though. Those are the bits I found most interesting. Stuff on the development of themes and models would be fascinating. (...) That would be super. The stuff on actual building was (...) (19 years ago, 29-Jun-05, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal, FTX)
| | | | | Re: BrickJournal (was Re: A new project...)

| | | | | Re: A new project...
|
| (...) Allister, My quick answer is: Yes! Actually, BrickJournal is meant to be both a magazine for reference for AFOLs and a magazine for the general public to see and possibly join the community. It could be said that the mag is slightly (...) (19 years ago, 29-Jun-05, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal, FTX)

| | | | | BrickJournal (was Re: A new project...)
|
| (...) Just as another data point, I don't agree -- I read it cover-to-cover and while I did know some of the content already, much of it was new, and it was all enjoyable reading. Best, Joe (19 years ago, 28-Jun-05, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal, FTX)
| | | | | Re: A new project...
|
| (...) Nice one, but geez, yet another interview with Brendan Powell Smith ;) Just wondering though; is it intended to be a magazine for AFOLs or about AFOLs? If it's the former, there's not a lot in there that we don't know already, and if it's the (...) (19 years ago, 27-Jun-05, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal, FTX)
