MODERNIZED (http://www.intrepidheroes.com/modernized.htm), the free fan-made zine for modern, futuristic, and historical gaming in any game system, now offers $15 USD for articles.
From now (March 10th) until Friday, March 24th, MODERNIZED will be accepting article proposals at their email address (MODERNIZED@Gmail.com (modernized@gmail.com)). These proposals should give a fair idea of what the article is about, what game system (if any) it is intended for, and should be 300 words at most. They will select from these proposals the articles that will appear in MODERNIZED, and will send notification of acceptance and article request emails by Monday, March 27th. Authors will have until Monday, April 10th to submit their completed 3000-word articles to MODERNIZED. Each author will then be paid (via PayPal or a more convenient method if one is necessary) the sum of $15 USD when MODERNIZED receives the article. Issue #4 is expected to be released Monday, April 24th, 2006.
Only one draft per author at this time.
