I'll check the account in the min - I hadn't got any e-mails when I started. I think Amy is going to be our WLW. We'll see if anything becomes of it.

Yay! 1!! Anyway basically if you want to, when you send a letter into 'Zine you can CC it to alternative 'zine and if it gets edited or doesn't get printed or WLW is crap we may get off our asses and do something. I just like the idea of every letter getting sent into 'zine being copied to another address with megazine in it to freak out WLW. I've already threatened to do this more than once to WLW if he doesn't get his act together...

Well I'll probably hold auditions for my alternative WLW then. Or we can take it in turns. Or I can send out the letters to more than one person and print the one with the best comment. It'll be like WLWs being rated. Bwahahahaha!

You know, just before this started I sent a letter claiming to be bored of Zine and wanting to make a new, better, Zine.

heh heh - well it should start once

1. I've got enough letters
and
2. I've got all the stuff from my old computer copied across to this one as there's some stuff I want to use from there.

Anyone who would like to have a go at WLW email the mega_zine@hotmail.com address with WLW audition in the title. What I'll probably do is start with one letter a day unless I suddenly get a huge influx of letters and I'll either pick a WLW or I'll have a group of WLWs and send the letter to all of them and use the funniest reply. I'll have a wee think about that.

So far I have 4 letters and two auditions to be WLW so I could probably get them all on a post-it note at the moment.

I don't want to be a bother to anyone really, I haven't really worked out what I'm going to do yet - any help would be appreciated, but I'm willing to get myself another geocities thing and learn how to actually make a site this time instead of cheating (I'll have to learn some time)

Thank you very much - it's pretty much set up apart from the What is this? and the archive (cos I can't do that until i start printing letters)

Hopefully it'll be up and running soon. I'll sort out the WLWs too - do you think they should be anonymous or should the world know who they are? Anyway - all comments are welcome

OK that's what I was hoping you'd say When we start putting up letters I'll email them to all the WLWs and they can send back their comments and I'll post the funniest, unless you can think of a better way to do it

I wouldn't mind WLW-ing. Also, the anonymous thing is pretty much essential, I think.

Is there a limit to letter length and WLW response, like actual 'Zine?

I dunno - it has to fit in the little tv screen i made but appart from that I'm pretty flexable - if you wanna be a WLW e-mail mega_zine@hotmail.com and stick WLW Audition in the subject - you don't actually have to audition it's just so i can keep things tidy, though if you want to tell me why you should be WLW I don't mind. But shush - anonymity!! And then you can just sit back and smile when you see one of your comments and know you are WLW. Maybe...
