playmaker Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Hi, Those of you who post on the FM General Discussion forum may have come across a little fanzine known as The Bootroom. Well, we are now looking to expand our horizons a little and include FMH in the magazine. To start with we are looking at one or two articles per issue, on any subject to do with FMH. As with all our articles we are looking to fire people's imaginations, so we need someone with a bit of insight, a good writing style (doesn't have to be 100% grammatically correct - that's what proof readers are for!) and a terrible sense of humour to match ours!!! If you would like to write for The Bootroom then please send me a PM. Feel free to post suggestions for the type of article you would like to see. I never really got into FMH, so you guys know what sort of help, ideas, or just general entertainment you would like to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSD Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 What exactly do we write about then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
playmaker Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 What exactly do we write about then? For the PC game we cover things like: Tactical help Skin Reviews Experiments News Game ideas Stories Opinions Challenges I am open to suggestion regarding FMH - I'm no expert. It really comes down to what people feel will offer the most help or insight into the game, or just what will make an interesting article to read. Of the list above I would say help, ideas, opinions and challenges are the most relevant ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukaboi Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I could write a few if you want ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJGB Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 What sort of length would you expect for an article? Also, how often do you release the fanzine? If it's not too time consuming (eg thousands of words), i could do a few articles Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJGB Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Having just read Issue 4, i see that the articles are relatively large but i could do one or maybe two per month if you wanted? Discuss things like ; ~ Stories (we get a few of them in the FMH forum ) ~ Challenges (Ridley99, Lukaboi and Dec to name a few challenge makers) ~ Game Ideas (Always have opinionated suggestions for the next version) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
