Something to consider, Jump. If you're going to write exposes and break stories, you might want to consider using the occasional RL name on your letterhead. (Though I see that could be problematic given the journalistic mission *cough* of your zine).

Speaking strictly for myself, I don't pay any attention to blog allegations made by avatars against other avatars. For all I know, the whole thing could be staged by one guy.

I am completely willing to read avatar blogs for entertainment, fashion or the arts. But for news and investigative journalism, no. The minimum amount of accountability a journalist has to have for me to bother to read them is a RL identity.

If I had any curiosity before (and I tend not to with people who prove John Gabriel right), that just killed it dead.

look mickey what can i say, we making porn here! I'd LOVE to do a mag sans the sex but its a TIME thing. i may excerpt the hard hitting stuff on a wordpress blog i got set up in the Twenty-Ten... for the people at work and who JUST DONT LIKE PORN, but you'd miss all the hot Jump-Sex stuff.

I believe that there are some very REAL stories floating around the grid. Stuff just below the surface that people tell ME or my pals just to come off as "cool" to me, to impress me (gawd knows why) that people JUST should KNOW.

lets just say Mick i hear ya and its a valid point.
p.s nov 1 to see the article
and theres the feature interview "that guy suing LL's Hypocracy, that guy suing LL's Shame: feature interview with C. Mousehold" i'll do a preview if ya guys want lol
