Behind E of course.

I got an email this morning from FATE magazine (www.fatemag.com) telling me that they have accepted my article called "Wildfires and the Devil" about how Wild Fires in the New Jersey Pine Barrens might lead to increased sightings of the Jesery Devil. I don't know which issue it's going to be in yet. It could be a couple of months, and I still have to fill out and send back some paperwork and I'm not getting paid much for it. (around 94 bucks pre-edited. No idea post edited.) but it's a start....and it's a national mag, which is huge exposure for a first timer like me. I just can't believe the first the thing I ever submited got accepted. That almost never happens.

congratulations that's awesome. I need to write an article/book about staying 23 forever.

B E C K · « **Reply #2 on:** Oct 12, 2007, 10:44:38 PM »

You should also submit that to FATE magazine.

Congrats, Rama.

Thanks. I need to start on another one to keep up the pace, but I've been really busy lately. Hopefully I can dig up another one I was working on in the files and see if I can finish that.

CONGRATS!!
I'm curious about that article! Copy/paste it here man, I wanna read!

Shipley · « **Reply #5 on:** Oct 15, 2007, 02:31:23 AM »

I had articles published in my local paper about 9 years ago, does that count?

Don't kill this for him, Zac.
Score dude. Score.

Shipley · « **Reply #7 on:** Oct 15, 2007, 11:02:36 AM »

heh, didn't mean to. i mean shit, its the LOCAL paper, and I'm more of an extra than a star in the sphere.

congrats on the article just the same, let us know when it hits stands and I'll buy a copy.

Derrick · « **Reply #8 on:** Oct 15, 2007, 03:25:07 PM »

My published works probably wouldn't illicit interest since it's historical essays and book reviews...

Congrats, Rama!

Write something about bagging latin chicks. You have a latin girlfriend and faye has alluded to wanting your nuts on a couple occasions.

Are you talking about Rama?!?!?

No me.

My reviews were on Scandal by Anna Clark and Splendid Monarchy by Takashi Fujitani. Rather interesting books on political life in Britain and Japan respectively in the ninteenth century. My essay will be published in the spring and should be on the SMR in colonial Manchuria. Since they aren't on the interwebs and only in the DOHGSA thingy, Im not considering it truly published.

Mi pene es muy marivillo, though.

Department of History Graduate Student Association. I could have been a member of the board, but instead opted to board for Phi Alpha Theta. I figure a honors society is better than a general association that you're a member of when joining the program.

I get to dress up as a Pirate on Thursday!

I think that might violate the agreement I signed. I'm not sure, but I'm also no going to risk it. I do know I can reprint it in any book later on I want (including FATE compilation books) as long as I get permission first.

If you got paid for it, I'd say it counts. I've thought about writing some stuff for the local paper, but I don't know if they take Freelance stuff. From what I've seen it seems like the same 5 people write everything in there. And it’s a real jumping paper too.... An article about a woman and her Blue Ribbon winning jam took up most of the front page today. But I have thought about submitting something for the upcoming Halloween issue if they'll take it.

When I find out what issue it is in I'll be sure to post it. And does anyone know which chain stores carry FATE? I thought Barnes & Nobel did, but turns out they don't. (Not around here at least) and ever since I got the news people have been asking me where they can buy a copy when it comes out and I don't know what to tell them cause as far as I can tell no one around here carries it. So I'm going to have to track down some copies as they only give me one...and I plan on framing that one.

I've also been known to be an Ass, a Dick, A Douche, and a turd. I'm kinda a jack of all trades, master of none.

I was making a reference to that homo called Mystery from the vh1 show the Pick-up artist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pick-up_Artist_%28TV_series%29

haha god that profile was sooo obviously written by him!

IDE · « **Reply #26 on:** Oct 21, 2007, 04:49:04 PM »

I hate that mystery faggot. Partly because I'm jealous (not of his "skills" but because he's on tv for that shit, I could be on tv for that).

I've decided I'm going to assemble a stand up comedy act. I never considered myself a stand up but I think I should give it a try. The more I read about stand up comedy boosting an actor career the more I can't ignore it. The thing is, my act would blow my cover since my act is about pretending to be 23 forever. Once I do my act I won't be able to do that anymore.

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #29 on:** Oct 21, 2007, 10:23:04 PM »

As long as I'm mentioned in your act.
