I can take on roles of reviewer and issue viewer, and although I'm not terribly great at it, I could probably do some modest graphic designing as well.

If you want to see my writing capabilities, I recently started doing reviews of games in my blog. There's only one review, but I assume you don't need pages of my writing to judge whether I'm suitable for the job. The review is located here.

Get back to me. :)

"grammar". Remember the "r"s next time.

I'd really love to use my spelling and grammar powers to check your issues, but I've not got enough time on my hands. Sorry. Maybe sometime in the future.

Do you accept freelance articles? I only write articles for magazine on a freelance basis, because I don't do it very often, want to offer my work to all magazines, don't want to be part of anyone's staff, and the word "freelance" is cool.

Sure F1ank3r! I will accept Freelance work from anyone, as long as it is decent.

And, you may join the team anytime you would like also F1ak3r, I have noticed that you do have some good grammar and spelling skills.

I have dropped you a PM also, Living Spiral,

Freelancers:I will accept any work that has been Freelanced, as long as it is of a good quality. If you would like to see if I would accept the work before it is written to save you sometime, then sure, just send me a PM, the same as if you have finished some Freelanced work.

Thanks,

Matt

How many game maker magazines are there now?

F1ak3r 16 years, 5 months ago

Four. MarkUp, GMTech, GM Magazine, and Russell's Quarterly (but that's not really a GM magazine).

Firebird 16 years, 5 months ago

What exactly do I get if I sign up? Money? What kind of software?

mattthew_h 16 years, 5 months ago

No, Russell's Quarterly doesn't really count as a Game Maker magazine, It just doesn't really focus on Game Maker all that much.

@Firebird: No, you will not revice money, even I do not get money from GMM, and I am the owner.

Software, I am not all that sure, but, you may receive a legal GM key, I know that, that was on the list, When I find the list of software that you may recive, I will post it here.

If this "legal GM key" turns out to be either widely used one for GM6, or a link to the GM7 crack, I know I'd be pissed. Please clarify, judging from your grammar I'd assume it's correct, but I have seen fake "awards" before of this manner.

OK, this is getting ridiculous. Month after month your treat us as an advertisement site and I have had enough of it! This is a BLOG SITE, not the classified section! If I see any more of these without some actual blog content, I *will* remove your right to blog.
