I wanted to toss out a few more ideas about the online magazine and open it up for some discussion.

First, I’m thinking something eclectic. Maybe each issue would have a theme, but other than that, all types of fiction would be accepted. I’d also like to take creative non-fiction, poetry and even drawings and photography.

There would need to be a way for work to be accepted or rejected. I don’t think I’d want to have sole responsibility for that, but it might turn out that way in the beginning. Anyone have ideas as to how that could be handled?

I’ve also thought about how to “publish” it, or whether to do so at all, officially. It could be put together into one large document that could be published online or e-mailed, or both. Alternatively, it could be published “blog style,” with each work listed separately under a single category here on the blog. Another option would be to do something similar to a blog carnival, where I’d publish links here (and maybe a teaser), but the full work would be on other individual’s blogs. Does anyone have any ideas on that front?

I’m still not sure whether I want to do this or not. I think it would be fun, but it would also take away writing time. However, if others are interested, I’d be willing to put something together and see how it goes.

I’ve been toying with the idea of putting together an online magazine. I’m thinking fiction, poetry, perhaps creative non-fiction. Also, I’d like to accept some photography and art work as well. At first, I wouldn’t be able to pay anything to s.ubmitters; everything is still coming out of my pocket now. Eventually, as more people subscribe to read it, I’d like to sell advertising and use that money to pay writers.
However, I was wondering if enough people would be interested in submitting to it (or reading it) to make it worthwhile. If you’re interested in doing either, please leave a note in the comments.
