October 25, 2006: Happy Halloween! Special Halloween issue now available!

September 7, 2006: I'm back from haitus!

August 13, 2006: NOTICE: I am going on haitus for the next three weeks. I have RL stuff to deal with, not to mention the fact that the stitches in my finger make it a bit difficult to use the mouse just now...

July 26, 2006: NEW! Variant cover for Time issue #6. Rules and Guidelines posted in the Reading Subscriptions guild.

July 14, 2006: Time issue #6 is hot off the press! Reading Subscriptions are now available!

July11th: First person to page 10 (real posts, not bumps) gets a free Special Edition!

July 7th: The good news is I have the guild and am preparing to deal with the articles. The bad news is that I only have a handful. Come on all you budding journalists! I'm still looking for articles on:

The New Gaia Layout
The Barton Cliffs Explosion
The (old) Housing Crisis
Marketplace Inflation
The Gaian Land Rush
The Gaian Pregnancy Petitions

June 29th: Well it looks like the people have spoken and the people want articles. So while I try to set up the mechanics for that, I shall also audition some writers! If you'd like to write for The Newsstand, please choose a topic from the following list and send me a sample in a PM. Spelling and grammar count! For an example of what I'm looking for, please see page 5.

The New Gaia Layout
The Barton Cliffs Explosion
The (old) Housing Crisis
Marketplace Inflation
The Gaian Land Rush
The Gaian Pregnancy Petitions

June 28th: New poll up! Vote for actual articles to go with the magazines! If enough people vote for articles, I'll start figuring out how to manage it.

June 27th: Today premiers the first issue of "G-- The Gaian Magazine!" Get your copy today!

June 25th: The picture issue has been resolved and two new issues are available in The Rack. Thank you Ceeg and Dilettante for your help! Also, please remember to save your issues, whether they're Off The Rack or Special Editions! I don't want to run into bandwidth issues.

June 23rd (Just barely by my clock): Do you want to be in pictures? Or at least a picture on a cover of one of my magazines? I need a screenshot of an avatar standing next to a vacant house sign. Don't worry about size-- the bigger it is, the easier it is to work with. Please no smaller than 208 by 290 pixels. PM me with the picture please!

June 22, 2006: Grand opening! The presses are hot, I'm fainting from the ink fumes and it's a glorious day!

Welcome to the Special Editions Desk. Here you can order a special, one-time only print run just for yourself, featuring yourself, your pet, or an event near and dear to your heart. Or just random silliness if that's what you want. Special Editions cost 150g and for now, come in two varieties: "Time" and "G -- The Gaian Magazine."

For 250 I will parody another magazine of your choice.

Fill out a form: Copy and paste one of the forms below and PM it to me or post it in this thread.

Special Editions:Include a picture: Send me a picture of your avatar (a Dream Avi is fine, their images legally belong to Gaia). If you don't, I'll use your avatar in your message. If you want a picture of something else-- a favorite pet or event, please send me as large a picture of it as you can. Reducing is easy; blowing up is not. **In accordance with Gaian rules, please have permission from the artist.**

Send a trade request: Send a trade for the full amount (75g for items from The Rack, 150g for each Special Edition).

ORDER FORMS

Fill out a form and post it in this thread or PM me along with the requisite amount.
