I just released the first edition of my magazine... I've been working on it for a while and included lots of information, including interviews, how-to articles, and much more. Check it out here!

Enjoy!

Saw the heading in chapter 2 and stopped reading. Sorry. Wish you best of luck - hope you make something of it.
@Togfox, if you don't care for the subject, go ahead and skip that interview.
But there's some other content that you may enjoy further down.
Well, not bad at all!
I really should have taken better pictures of myself, and I hate that the sample frame is from something never finished. Also, not sure what's going on in that top picture of me. Floating Lego, scary-looking face, misspelled name...
If you don't mind critique, the review of Unrenewable seemed to just finish up the intro when it ended, the lists seemed a bit too simplified, and there weren't really any articles, only two interviews and a story. There are also a handful of cut-offs mid-sentence, and large gaps between some lines. But that may have been the website going crazy.
BUT, like I said before, you asked some great questions, I enjoyed the BuilderBrother's interview a lot, and the letter by "Mr. Grumpily the Third" was hilarious. You did a good job, it could have used a bit more content, but the deadline for school may have prevented that. I'm sure you learned a lot from doing this, and I sure hope you got a good grade.
Cool beans. Always wanted to do a BF magazine, but never had the time.

I'm just speculating, and I may not even understand what he means by "Chapter 2". However I was put off by the "A interview with...". I don't know for sure what Tog meant, but I have an idea that might be it. I believe that if someone is doing an entire magazine for something, there should be some kind of revising stage. Spelling and grammar mistakes are easily fixed.
Apart from that I think it was pretty cool, it's nice to see someone continuing the community together-ness in a new form.

I think it might have been Pritchard's Christianity, but that could also be it. A little more on-topic, I agree, it would be a little more comforting if the magazine were a little more professional. But, kudos to you anyhow, Kaleb, for doing something that I could probably never do.
To spread awareness, I suggest asking for this to be put on the brickfilming Wiki.
Hey, Osom Studios, I really liked it, but you should have someone review your grammar. is there a way a Scribid member could make a pdf available publicly, so that a reader doesn't have to subscribe to download it? If not, LMK too. Thanks. Would love to be featured one day.
Nice! I read it and found lots of interesting stuff in there! Keep up the good work.
Thanks glad you liked it

Oops... I am very sorry about the misspelling. I fixed the spelling and changed the teaser frame to something from steam punk and re- uploaded it.

Thanks so much for the great critique. Will really try to work on those things next time. Also glad you thought it was funny:)

Thanks. This was a school project so I guess I was lucky to have the time

Thanks. And will try to do better with grammar next time and have someone review it. Also didn't know you had to sub I just uploaded it there because it was the easiest place I could find to upload it.
Also, I'm not sure if I'll do another one... this was a school project, so will see if I end up doing another one.
thanks a ton for all the great help.

If you do make a "series", I suggest you use webtrackers to monitor how many downloads you get. You can then see which episodes were more popular and if your audience goes up or down. These are url's you put in your link so 3rd party trackers can do their bit.
I've done eMags like this for other hobbies and understanding your audience - or even if you have an audience - is vital. Best of luck!
