PH-UK

[Bob]

Hi, all :D

As you may be aware, I have made mention of a webzine that me and a few companions have in the pipeline. Things are finally taking a move in the right direction and we are looking to recruit writers! I must stress that this is a non-profit site and that articles are of a strictly voluntary basis, but if you have something on your mind that you want to blert out, be it philosphy, random thoughts or just how much you like that new cd you purchased, then we want to hear from you!


P.S. Michael Moorcock has already kindly let us interview him!

"As you may be aware, I have made mention of a webzine that me and a few companions have in the pipeline."
Well, I am one of those companions, so I thought I had better make that known! This webzine is an exciting project, that has been in the planning stages for a while. It now looks as if it will be ready to go public, in the not too distant future.
Some content has been lovingly produced so far, but we need more. As Bob says, we have an interview with Michael Moorcock, which is a fantastic start. But, if any of you feel moved to write something on a topic of your choice, please feel free!

Congratulations Bob and Cypher! :D
Can't wait to see it online. Please keep us informed.

What is the URL? What are the submission guidelines? What is the name of the zine? To whom and at what address do I submit a piece?

Thanks.

Do you require any doodles at all?

Also, is "PH-UK" intended to spell a rude word, or is that just a happy coincidence? :D

D...

Thanks for showing interest!

Artcile guidlines are pretty simple: Make it an interesting read :)

Essentially, I guess it's a lifestyle zine but along the lines of reviews... Books, music, filmes, gigs, interviews, events, bars etc. Also, depending on how many would write for us, it would be great if a monthly article could be submitted by writers on a topic of their choice, e.g. political views, philosophy or just what a damn great weekend you had.
It might seem like we're asking a lot, but we really do want this webzine to be entertaining (but certainly not trashy!) and thoroughly interesting and if we get enough people writing for us, a writers contribution wouldn't be very demanding.
Articles or reviews could submitted to either myself or Chris (Cypher) and a after a brief editorial (I really do mean brief!), would be up on the site.
D, the name started out as a mockery of the 'FCUK' brand, but soon had a meaning behind it - Pretentious Heathens UK - which I guess is also a mockery :)
Oh, lastly, the address will hopefully be ph-uk.co.uk

I think that's everything covered, but don't hesitate to ask if anything needs elaborating on!

[PsychicWarVeteran]

Yes, but as D also asked, do you need any doodles at all? :) Some of us are better artists than we are writers...

[Bob]

Initially, I suspect we'll be fine on the art front. However, that certainly doesn't rule out any possibility of us showcasing peoples work.

Sorry to shamelessly 'bump' the thread, but I really am eager to know if anyone is interested in this. I have no doubt that many members of this forum would make excellent contributions!
