Greetings. (C: As the topic states, I'm looking for help. I'm in the process of launching a digital magazine devoted to the Elder Scrolls games and community. I need help though, so I turn to you. I feel that I've expressed myself best in the forward of the (still under construction) first issue, so I will simply post that here.



What I'm looking for mainly is a few good writers; people who would be interested in contributing articles. These contributions could be on a monthly basis, or a more freelance basis if it suits you. Most of the sections that I currently envision including in the magazine are listed above in the quotation, and could use help with any of those. I am also always on the lookout for artists to feature within the magazine, even for the cover. As it is a digital magazine, we will be able to feature multi-media as well, so down the road we will have need of perhaps video editors and the like.

For me, this is mostly a matter of time management. There just aren't enough hours in my busy day to be able to tackle something like this on my own. I truly believe though that a digital magazine in the vein of a GameInformer or EGM dedicated to the vast universe of the Elder Scrolls could get alot of readership. It can be easy for things to get quickly lost in forums, but a magazine page lasts forever, especially on the internet. If you think this is something you would like to be apart of, please email me at beyondoblivionmag@gmail.com . Or if you just have general questions, please feel free to ask them in this post, and I will answer to the best of my ability.

Thank you for your time. (C:

Hm, this sounds like a good idea. I've seen a lot of fan-made/based things in a lot of the GameInformers, but never see anything on the elder scrolls unless a new release is coming out. I'll think about this but I have one question in my mind maybe in others as well, what is the catch? I'm not trying to be rude it's just I learned to say that over my years of writing.

No catch. Really. I like to give back to communities that I enjoy. I've never been a big forum poster, always more of a lurker. This is a way for me to say thanks to all the great people in this community, and perhaps help others to give back as well. The magazine is free. There is no paid advertising within the pages. There's no making money off of the sweat of others or anything like that.

I just really don't have the time needed to produce something like this on my own. I'm a single dad, who works 40+ hours a week, and has a knack (and a Bachelor's degree...) for graphic design, and I felt that this would be a perfect way to share my love of the Elder Scrolls with others. There are several great websites out there like TESnexus, Planet Elder Scrolls, or USEP with so much stuff on them that it can be daunting to some. A magazine can whet readers appetites to learn more about topics that they read within the pages. The internet is a great place with a wealth of useful knowledge. For myself though, there's still something comforting about the style and form of traditional print, even if it is presented in a more multimedia fashion on the internet. I think a lot of people still feel that way, otherwise print media would already be gone.

I hope that answers your question in regards to a catch. I truly have no motive other than to produce the best fan made content that I can. I just need some help. (C:

Well then I'd be glad to help, I've got plenty of an agenda but I can find some time to squeeze in something like this :foodndrink: .

I enjoy writing, and will gladly type up some articles ^_^ I'm good with lore and tips/hints. Not yet into modding (need a more powerful desktop), but i plan on one day making a total conversion mod for Skyrim.
