I’m sure most of you have heard by now that _teemings_, the Dope’s own 'zine, is back and more active than ever. We’re trying to expand it beyond the strictly literary emphasis of the past, and are including graphics and music videos. See the most recent issue [here](http://www.teemings.net/series_2/issue_02/index.html) for an idea of the variety.

I’m currently gathering material for the third issue, which will be posted around May 1st. Please get submissions (guidelines [here](http://www.teemings.net/submission_guidelines.html)) to me by April 15th to be considered for that issue.

If you have any questions, post 'em here, or you can email me at teemings at gmail dot com.

Hope to see/hear what you’ve been up to!

Sounds great. I’ve got some songs of mine up at [soundclick.com](http://soundclick.com) - including the eponymous ‘Made in Macau’ - how do I send you that linky? In this thread?

Any rules on length or photo size/dpi?

Email to me at _teemings at gmail dot com_, per the [submission guidelines](http://www.teemings.net/submission_guidelines.html).

Per the submission guidelines, I generally prefer under 2,500 words, but I’m willing to consider some longer manuscripts. (I’m running **blinkie** ’s memoir in chapters, for instance.) For you specifically, **Sampiro** , I do realize, of course, that you have a hard time doing a grocery list in so few words. 😛

For photo sizes, I’m not aware of any limits, but **Eutychus** (who’s not only our server host, he’s our webmaster/layout person) may have an opinion about that. I do know that he sometimes has to tinker with file sizes on graphics.

I’d respond to that but it’s only been 4 days and I’m still working on it.

Okay, I’m finalizing the contents for the next issue – anyone who wants to submit something for the issue we’ll be posting around May 1st, now is the time to send it to me.

Unsticking this thread since we now need to get ready to post the stuff that everyone has sent.

This doesn’t mean I wouldn’t love to see your contributions – send them in! – just that I won’t be able to put them in the May 1st (ish) issue.
