Hello, chaps. I thought I'd pop in and say "hi". I wish I had time to help out with this project, but sadly I must remain a lurking observer.
However, I thought it worth breaking cover long enough to say:
We're looking for "colour" articles to go in Dark Magenta. Anything from a single paragraph to a whole 3,000 word article. Read your LRB and you'll see dozens of these scattered around, from quotes to brief archetype concepts, up to pieces of short fiction.
So if this project has inspired you, how about turning it into something we can use? Like I said, it doesn't need to be long.
submissions@darkmagenta.net
Regards,
Robey

hmm, this would certainly be an excellent way to drop in little bits and pieces without the general readers realising that they are links to this project - helps us drop hints long before this is finallised enough to begin article production.

It would...are we still going with that idea someone brought up a while ago of a collection of little snippets with a covering introduction article, or has that fallen out of favour?
As an aside...if I have time over Easter (I probably won't...cursed real life) but I'm going to try and get a game in set on the planet...so I'll try and get a report of that done...
Oh, and welcome!

I can see larger 'colour' articles working with this concept, but as for the ones like the LRB (EG: the box roughyl describing haemovores) I can't see how that would work, as any archetypes, creatures, individuals etc are specific to the planet itself, and would therefore only work inset into an article about St Martius Bounty.
But fiction, reports, and all that sort of thing are exactly what we have been coming up with, and would probably work really well.
