quartely printed publication
metacrasher magazine is a quarterly publication that is printed on demand and shall be distributed throughout the continental US and Canada, with plans to expand it's distribution globally within the next 18 months, with translations into german, french and portuguese, beginning winter 2008. the majority of its content is created by its advertisers, with an editorial frame work of interviews, articles, photo essays, art and design work of leading professionals in their respective fields. in addition, it contains a number of graphic serial novels and short stories by industry professionals centering around virtual experiences and industry. these narratives range from sci-fi, to comedy, to industry insight and editorial. the first of these is the metacrasher graphic novel.
it is the intent of metacrasher magazine to be a publication that will serve not only as a guide and catalogue of the various content providers, service providers, and virtual world builders, but also chronicle the developments and innovations of the emerging virtual industry. it will act as an entertaining and insightful look into the style, social relevance, and future implications of these technologies, the people creating them, and the everyday people that use them for business, leisure, and social interaction.
while we hope that this magazine will serve as an indispensable aid to those deeply involved in the development of the metaverse that will allow quick and concise access to information and a summary of the quarterly industry developments and news, we also would like to publish something that will draw the average reader into the metaverse. it is the intent to show these readers a world of endless possibilities that they can quickly understand and actively participate in.
finally, we would like to emphasize our commitment to creating more than a magazine or catalogue, but a publication that people will really be engaged in, a publication that will be collected and looked back on as a great thing. not because we have organized it, but because it is a documentation of an industry where collective collaboration may indeed change the world for the better. let's all see together.
We will be adding sections to the magazine section of this site in the next 2 weeks. they are: submissions, article examples, and all the templates for our advertisers and example advertisements and, of course, the magazine physical specs. right now we are concentrating on making sure the virtual environments are ready to roll and then we will give more of a sneak peek into what we are planning for the hard copy publication.
