05/12/08 Mailer 10/Meeting 9/Magazine submissions

Hi everyone,

I have a bunch of things to say. Firstly, the magazine committee is collection submissions for the creative writing section of the magazine. The theme is 'fantasy'. You may interpret this anyway you like. However please censor yourself in certain cases. Much as I love fan fic porn (I don't), the magazine will not be publishing anything in that vein. (See, I have to say stuff like that to be on the vague side.)

We're accepting submissions in the following genres:

Fantasy fiction: For those who don't know, fantasy fiction is stuff like Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. You're supposed to create your own fantasy world and write a story about people in it.

Poetry

Short fiction

Essay: If you're wondering what sort of essay you could write about fantasy, then here are some ideas: "My fantasy for Bangalore/Mount Carmel College" "Do fantasy books/movies affect the way children perceive reality?"

Word limit: 300-500 words for all genres

Deadline: December 15

How to submit: You can either submit by email to (aditimachado@yahoo.co.in) or hand in a hard copy to Srishti (II PyEJ, 9945501718), Neha (II PyEC, 9901612701) or me (III PyEC, 9620048220).

We really hope you send in stuff! Please spread the word as well. Good luck!

Minutes + Next meeting

I did not attend the previous meeting, but I was told it was nice, but with a small crowd. Namratha read one of her poems and she will be reading more next time we meet. Others can also bring their work. Details for next meeting: Monday, Room 29, December 8, 12.30pm

Best,
Aditi
