Anyone know of any Banana newsletters or Magazines out there? Maybe Bananas.org should start one? Anyone out there with Magazine experience?

Worm_Farmer

Yep, you have reached it here at Bananas.org

Good point! You got me! But I do enjoy getting a glossy monthly magazine that I can skim through while sipping a cocktail siiting in my little patch of paradise....

MediaHound

Thanks for the feedback Jack. The thought crossed our minds

Thanks for the reply Jarred

MediaHound

Sure thing. It has been mentioned here and there over the years here on the forum. Glad to see it brought up again

Jarred, is a magazine something you'd seriously consider? I do think it's a great idea but probably a whooole lot of work to do. That being said, I'd be willing to help contribute articles and photos if you ever decide to do this. You know, in your spare time!

lorax

I'd be more than willing, as I said on PM, to do the graphic layout etc. and have it printed at the cheaper Ecuadorian rates. We'd need to figure out how many people were interested in subscribing, though. I'd suggest it be something like "Bananas Quarterly" so that 4 issues a year would be the cap. Magazines are tremendously high-work things to design.

Chironex

I would be interested in a subscription.

In this so called cyber world, a magazine still stands out as no one can be on the net all the time. No matter how much time I spend on the net, I still love my mags and take them with me when I travel to keep me company and to share them.
I agree with Lorax on a Quarterly. Jarred, if this takes off, I am sure bananas.org will be go even further. I support this idea fully and volunteer to be your contributor from the Far East.

For what it's worth I'd subscribe to any banana publication in a heartbeat. There's a ready supply of contributors here already. Lounging around with a magazine and possibly a cool drink in what's going to be my"plantation" sounds good right now, I just got done shoveling snow since 5 am.

Thanks a lot you guys. I'm really happy to see this taking more and more shape as time goes by. I think either bi-monthly or even quarterly would be good at first to get a feel for it.
And I appreciate the help with this, I know that with the upcoming birth of my child I will be, let's just say, slightly busy.

We would have a special area here on the site for authors, photographers, illustrators, and project managers to collaborate.
At any time, even years from now, anyone reading who wants to contribute please either post on this thread or send me a PM so I can add you to the realm to collaborate with us.



One thread I could find where having a print journal was discussed a little bit was here:
Hey Jarred!!!

I will setup the area now, nobody will be able to read the posts inside unless they are specifically part of the production crew. So if anyone reading really wants to be a part of making this happen, please just let me know and I will setup your access. Those that expressed interest already, I already know to add you.

Thanks again!

I know, I forgot the space between, "A", and, "Journal", but you get the idea.

I found something called, "Create a Magazine", on another site, but thought it was easier to do in (the program ) Paint.
