In terms of anyone wanting a complete set, the badges cost me 10p each (I am donating 500 to Toy Fu), so for 25 it would cost £2.50 for materials plus a donation to Toy Fu (I assume you are coming to the con now Pinwig? Otherwise postage would be a hefty £2.90!)

Yes, due to the wedding move I am thankfully now coming. If you're happy to release them as sets I'll very gladly pay and donate. I love your badges.

Ace. This is an offer open to anyone, but the sooner I know the better as I'll have the sheets printed up in the next week!

Matt Dallas has provided some excellent Hot Shot art for the ice cream article!  Still time to submit stuff, but I want to start printing in the next few weeks otherwise I will be a shell of a man! And I don't mean as a cool Pretender! |

I have been thinking about the letters' page recently but there are problems with the concept simply because it's a one line joke - insult stuff. Those pages only have one letter on, the rest is art criticism, so sustaining that one gag over a couple of pages of letters might be hard. But I'm trying to think of a way to work it.
In the meantime, do you have anything that needs writing that isn't being done? anything you thought, 'oh wouldn't it be great if...'

There is a lot of factual stuff at the moment, we need to add more fun bits! Here is the concept: You are drunk at the bar. You open up the fanzine to read something. What do you want to read? |

Nnnnnnnghhh. This is going to need me to remember absolutely anything about Armada.
If I could draw I'd do a Lew Stringer style 'Rejected ideas for Minicons' Robo Capers.

What about a character profile for Preceptor but write it as he is literally just the three minicons sitting on each others shoulders and wearing a trenchcoat Like Vincent Adultman youtu.be/iMV8btPW4wU |

I shred the cover around on social media yesterday too, and it seems to have taken off fairly well. On twitter it has been reshared 39 times and got 102 likes, which is more than I've ever gotten for anything before. Hopefully this is reflected in sales over the weekend.  |

What's your twitter handle, I shall retweet! (I am not a big social media person as everyone probably knows!) |

I have taken w/c 17th July off work to get the insides printed and assembled, as I'm going to have to do it all by hand again, and it's a massive task.
I'll need any more contributions to the interior by the weekend of 15th July to give me any sort of chance of getting it finalised for the printing. I'm not going to have any chance to get time off after then, so thats the latest I can possibly do it. There's a few people I am still waiting on, if you think you can make it, that's fine. If not, that's fine too, but let me know as I'll need to fill the space reserved with something!
