HOW TO CONTRIBUTE TO MEGADISC
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of the most gratifying aspects of editing Megadisc is getting
the mail - the quality of contributions has continued to get even
better, even by people who've never written a piece for
publication in their lives. This does everyone good (not just MD) -
everyone wins, contributors and users. It's very likely that you know
things that many others don't, and they'd like to hear about it, if you
manage to get it to Megadisc.
If you get inspired and send us in a contribution which we use on
a future Megadisc, whether it be a review, article, program, series
of tips, graphics, animation or whatever, you'll be entitled to
any 5 Public Domain disks available in the PD Library (or more if it's
a very substantial contribution), as well as a free copy of the
Megadisc issue that your piece ends up in. So when you do, include a
note saying which disks you'd like to have.
Of particular interest are reviews of hardware and software, articles
on anything of interest to users, and utilities/programs. Also most
welcome would be in-depth reviews of the A500 and A2000, especially
anything of a practical nature; information about printers and printer
drivers (send in any drivers you have too); any bugs you've found in
programs you use, etc. We're particularly keen on "hands-on" type
information, HOW to do something, and anything of an explanatory
nature. Since there are so many games coming out these days, when it
comes to games reviews, a collection of 2 or more reviews in one piece
would be appreciated. Any current subscribers who send a contribution
will have their subscription extended by one issue, apart from getting
their free disks.
It would also be much appreciated if you'd put your contribution
on disk in the case of text as well, since it saves a lot of
key-fingering. Even better, make it a straight ASCII file if you
can - ie, use a text editor (like ED in the CLI) or save from your
Word Processor as ASCII (if you can). However, documents from
Notepad or a word processor are fine if you're not sure about ASCII.
Likewise, anyone who sends in a letter or anything else on disk should
mention which Public Domain disk they'd like to get back on their disk,
and what other disk they'd like to get for their trouble.
Another way of getting information to Megadisc is to leave messages
and articles, graphics, etc on CLUB AMIGA BBS (sysops: Ross Kellaway
& Ken White; Tel: (02) 5216338). All you need is a modem and a
Communications program (get one of our public domain progs) - try it,
you'll like it! The best way, however is to just ring up, and if you
get a machine message, leave your name and number. Don't worry if you
don't hear from Megadisc for a while after you contribute something -
we'll get back to you eventually, though you can always ring up and
enquire about anything, anytime.
So get inspired, and be digitally published! It could be the start
of a scintillating career in the digital press. And don't forget,
what you think is obvious may be mystifying to someone else - they
may need to know what you know.
