You've got some good ideas here. A lot of people wuold give a lot to be rated in a magazine.
I think I'll look into submitting one of my games/an article. Also, I wouldn't call your writers top-quality. GMmarine needs lessons in expressing his thoughts. Not that MarkUp is any better though. Oh, and do yourself a favour. Download the latest DevMag (www.devmag.org.za).
copypasta?

As owner of GMTech, your writers and editors need to look to you as an example.I will freelance write.
When I feel like it…I still need to do that Teleka interview you guys wanted.
^Teleka doesn't even exist lol
Yes, hence why its an interview and not a review.
I guess you could do a preview of Katakijin. I'll be releasing a new demo on the 16th of January…which is today I guess…except that it's midnight.
@Kilin - Well, I hope a lot of people will be interested in submitting something for the magazine.
@F1ak3r - We all have our own opinions on things, also, what would I gain from downloading 'DevMag' when that magazine is not GM based, so that would be a waste of research time, when there are plenty of our magazines I can research into.@ChIkEn - This was posted as an announcement in other places, I normally post announcements here as well, however I delayed posting it, since I wanted the BBC code to be back up, so it was easily readable, however I changed my mind and just released it.@Nailog - If this was an important piece of text that is going to be marked, then I will fully check grammar, however as far as I can see its readable, thanks for pointing it out anyway.@ultim8p00 - If you submit it on our forum, then one of the team will preview it.@Obelisk - You still have some time left, glad to you see you haven't forgot about it.Any other comments or suggestions.
