Welcome to ModemNews, a magazine dedicated to all the BBS users around our Nation and Canada. ModemNews can only be successful if you, the readers, make contributions to the cause! Keep in mind that ModemNews Magazine is wholly supported by YOUR efforts and contibutions. More on that later . . . Contributions: Contributions are always welcome to ModemNews in the following categories: Humor: Anything! Puzzles, games, jokes, you name it! Because of space limitations, contributions here will be entered on a juried basis. Only the best will end up in our column. Stories & Poems: Feel a bit like Stevenson or Thoreau? Got that 'special' writers touch? Send us your very best works, and see yourself published in a nationwide magazine. Letters: Letters to the editor will be accepted from any reader, and if space permits, letters will be answered. Recipes: Recipes will be gladly accepted by this food-aholic! All ingredients should be listed, along with exact directions for mixing and cooking instructions. News & Views: Anything you think is news, and should be covered by ModemNews will be considered for publication. Messages: If you come across a message thread on your favorite BBS, and you think we should all be able to see it, just capture it and send it our way. We're always looking for the unusual and interesting. Fillers: Anything that has not been covered above will be considered for inclusion in the next issue of ModemNews. Take a chance and send it our way! Make sure your submissions have been spell and grammer checked, in pure ASCII text and set in lines no longer than 72 columns, and you're on your way! If you have anything you'd like to contribute to us here at ModemNews Magazine just upload it to your nearest ModemNews NewsStand and leave a message asking the sysop to send it to us! Or, you can always call us at ModemNews OnLine, the central library for the magazine at (203) 359-2299 at any time. Enjoy!
