Minecraft Quarterly -- Accepting Submissions


Hello MuttsWorld!

My name is Casey, and I am the Editor-in-Chief of an upcoming, electronic magazine all about Minecraft, Minecraft Quarterly. At the suggestion of mumblerit, I am here to announce the magazine, and  to tell you that we are currently accepting submissions. The goal of the magazine is to really unify information across the Minecraft world, and present it in an interesting and fun way to both server administrators and casual players. Content will include player trends, plugin developments, server showcases (MuttsWorld is one!), player spotlights, and more. In addition to that, the magazine is already sponsored by a number of big-name servers, as well as attracting the interest of Bukkit and Planet Minecraft.

Our first issue is slated for release on June 1, 2012 as a summer issue. While the featured articles have already been decided, I am asking you to contribute for additional content. As long as it is tasteful and relevant to Minecraft, it should be applicable (we have an editorial team to review it). Also, if you know someone who has a really interesting project here on the server, take some screenshots and write a short blurb about it. We are very supportive of Minecraft creations. Finally, if we receive enough contributions, we plan on turning this into a monthly magazine, but we need the support first.

Attached is the cover of the first issue to get you interested.

If you have any questions, I'll be stopping by regularly. If you have a submission, you can either post it here, or email me directly at c.f.burton @ mst.edu.

Thank you very much!

Lets show minecraft who we are!
Is it free? :/
To contribute? Most certainly. Individual subscriptions will be, at a maximum, only 99 cents. That'll be dependent upon the number of articles we receive. :)
I'll buy.
Hell I'd buy it, looks really good. Needs moar dinosaurs though
1 it's free?
2 it's online?
3 if isn't free where i can buy it?
And That's a good idea!
It's online, and individual issues will sell for $0.99 (have to cover those licensing/publishing costs). The first issue will be released June 1 (although it may be earlier if we receive plenty of submissions :)). I'll post the website where it's available when that time arrives.
I would SO buy this. I would also be willing to help contribute to a few articles. :-)
Sure. Write up whatever; we'll always be accepting player contributions. Send them to casey@mcquarterly.com. :)
This sounds epic. I wish it was free though. :)
Well, think of it like this:

Any remaining proceeds after we cover our production costs are actually directed back at the community. There will be a submission in the magazine for this, but we're going to accept funding proposals for community (not just MuttsWorld, but the entire online community) services/events, as well as plugin/mod developments, and award some with funding as well as coverage in the magazine.

So you're not only paying for the production of the magazine, you're paying for better plugins and community events.
I would like to write contributing articles... I will e-mail you directly > :o

EDIT: OKay I sent the e-mail - CHEERS MATE!
Hey, thanks for the submission and my apologies for not having replied -- I've been busy! It looks good though.

Wanted to update that pre-orders are available on our website, mcquarterly.com, and that we have a website! :P It's still under construction as we have been busy working on content, but it's functional at this point. Expect a lot more content, too, on the website, but congratulations to MuttsWorld again for being a spotlight server in this issue.

Submissions are still welcome, too. Simply submit via the website under "Contact Us".
Hey MuttsWorld! I need screenshots for our player builds section! Submit them to show off Muttsworld, and be sure to say that the screenies have come from here. :D
