WHAT IS FLUX?---------------------------------------------------------
NEW PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT AND DESCRIPTION FOR FLUX MAGAZINE
( Please feel free to copy and paste this description into a catalog or other listing at your convenience. )
FLUX
A quarterly shareware magazine exploring the future with ideas and imagery from the entire Universe of Macintosh Users. Free or low cost copies may be available from networks or local BBSes/ User Groups. Four issue subscription with free personal ad space, and a multitude of other benefits available for $ 49.50. 2 MB RAM, hard drive, and HyperCard 2.1 required. J. R. Mooneyham and Associates, 135 Lincoln Ave, Newport, TN 37821, 615- 623- 0854.
HARD CORE FLUX--------------------------------------------------------
A major element of FLUX is the potential for user participation. Contributors may see the publication of their articles, graphics, and even games or other programming in future issues.
To help pave the way for this, FLUX may be converted into a Submission Stack, which is essentially a copy of the magazine emptied of its normal editorial content in order to accept material from contributors. The Submission Stack offers users access to the basic format of the magazine, within which they may frame their own efforts.
Materials published in the floppy-based editions of FLUX automatically become eligible for republication later in Special Editions of the magazine, likely to be published on CD-ROM. Authors of material published in Special Editions will enjoy a share in the profits from sales of these CD-ROMs, according to a formula based on the size of their contribution relative to others involved, and feedback from end-users comparing all the items in the collection as to their entertainment and/ or utility value.
Another place editorial content from FLUX magazine will appear is in the FLUX Digest- a non-interactive, universal document accessible to both Mac and Windows PC users, slated to appear no sooner than six to twelve months later than the HyperCard based magazine issue from which each Digest document will be derived. What the Digest will lack in interactivity should be more than made up for by its potentially enormous circulation; by 1997 we expect the existence of the Digest to make FLUX accessible to as many as 200 million computer users world-wide. Such broad distribution should make FLUX contributors known the world over for their ideas and imagery.
FLUX DIRECT subscribers enjoy a multitude of benefits, details of which are listed in the magazine itself. Not the least of these benefits is the ability to propose new offers for the magazine to present to its users. In other words, users can sometimes modify the basic relationship between FLUX and themselves to be more profitable or flexible for both. All that's required is a good idea which sufficiently benefits both parties, and is practical to implement.
A prime example of how FLUX opportunities for users may be expanded upon are FLUX Personal Editions.
FLUX PERSONAL EDITIONS------------------------------------------------
FLUX Personal Editions offer a "second chance" for publication to contributors whose material may not have been accepted for the general edition of the magazine. A Personal Edition is a custom version of FLUX containing an individual contributor's work, which the contributor may give away to friends and family, or sell, as he or she sees fit.
[ Personal Editions are not limited to contributors whose material has been turned down for more general publication. P.E.s may also be obtained by authors who wish to take their material straight to the public without first competing with others for the privilege of a spot in the general edition. ]
