Grok #2 Wants You!

Grok #2 Wants You!

May 08

That’s right! That thing we did? That really cool thing? We’re gonna do it again.

The first issue of Grok, our PDF ‘zine, was packed with awesomeness and the second outing should be no different. Therefore, we need clever people such as yourselves to contribute.

To reiterate the basic mission statement: we want an electronic magazine dedicated to sharing stories, examinations, and opinions of geek culture. That means stuff like fun essays, fiction and the like focusing on the nerd experience. For further explanation, wander your little eyeballs to the sidebar on the right. And for examples of the kinds of ideas we’re looking for, peruse the dang issue.

Each issue also has a theme — #1 was pon farr. For #2, it’s all about…SECRET ORIGINS.

(Insert spine-tingling music and/or whooshy Lost flashback sound effect here!)

Also, this time, we’re also looking for artists to contribute. Otherwise, we’ll just be including more photos of Matt drinking from the punchbowl. No, seriously.

So what’s next? Well, if you’ve got something you want to write (or draw/paint/composite), drop a line to fangirl@earthlink.net. We’ll pool these ideas together and let you know if it’s a go (this is mostly just to make sure we don’t end up with a bunch of same-y articles/stories). Copy deadline is June 9 and the issue will be out in July. It should be released before that OTHER big thing that happens in July and will surely make great plane or between-panels reading material.
