We publish every other week.

I assume you have to be a current student... Or can alumni submit?

Actually, if you want, I can help with some editing. I'm not trying to be mean at all, but your article here
http://americana.ncsu.edu/hybrids.php
needs some punctuation and grammatical help. Your content is great, and your points get across, but people don't take you seriously when your mistakes jump from the page.

I swear, I'm not trying to be mean. I'm just an unforgiving editor.

Thanks. I didn't edit it - I submitted it before I became the co-editor - but I'll proofread better next time. They may have assumed since I used to be Features co-editor that it was fine and just put it through.

Oh, and I do believe you have to be a student/faculty member but I'll check. That's a good question, because then I could pull from my friends as well.

Okay great news - alumni can submit!

^not usually, no, but I'm sure they would incorporate it if it's an artistic photo or something like a breast cancer awareness article or something

I've replied to all who have contacted me, but may have failed to mention to a couple:

The next publication date is this Sunday the 19th so submissions must be in by 3pm Saturday. If you don't have anything written already, no biggie - we'll be publishing again in two weeks.

one time like 5 or 6 years ago
we went out on a hike across campus at like 3 a.m.
and my friends climbed that big red wooden americana A that was in the brickyard (if anybody actually remembers that thing)
and broke it
and then after we came back through the brickyard at like 6 a.m. it was gone

amazing.

aha wtf

2/17/2006 5:32:41 PM

yo, let me do an article on tww

2/17/2006 5:33:46 PM

Go for it - could make for an interesting read.

2/17/2006 7:24:25 PM

Can I write a big angry rant about Cassie Johnson, Chanda Gunn, and Angela Ruggiero, fill it up with semi-obscure cultural references, and pass it off as artful creative nonfiction in Americana?

Hell, I could do it every two weeks. Pure, unadulterated, stream of conciousness bullshit from a wholly untalented individual.

You'd get calls from outsider art aficionados daily.

Go for it - that's what we editors are for

2/18/2006 11:44:04 PM

No one is editing a goddamned thing.

No one's adding that shitty journalistic punctuation to my stuff, either.
