U do crazy idea came to me recently and I just expose you here seeking your opinion.
forums as Madness eighteenth or Passion History are cross talk and people who appreciate the eighteenth century but, also like to share their discoveries with other fans of the period. Some of these fans, these fans, including yours truly, also keep blogs are live websites.
But this whole area is quite enthusiastic and generous dispersed in its presentation, meaning that the forums and blogs, by their very structures are not intended to be read a magazine.
To my knowledge, there is not, nor in the press "paper" or in electronic media, professional or amateur, a magazine devoted to the eighteenth century. The journal Grand Century France , facing the age of Louis XIV, had only a fleeting existence: a dozen numbers, about 2002-2005, so far as my memory is good, its contents a bit demanding for the player and its price - around ten euros in number - had perhaps been impediments to sustainability economy.
That said, far be it from me to launch the project for a professional magazine devoted to the Enlightenment. My ambition is more modest, is to see to what extent it would be possible to develop a fanzine the eighteenth century.
I already had the opportunity to work in magazines or public, in areas related to heritage, for example, and to participate in the creation and publication of fanzines in the world of role play. This experience, cross my regret that there is no eighteenth-century periodical magazine brings So come to ask the faithful readers and the kind readers of this blog to see if they consider that the idea of a zine about the eighteenth century is a madness (unrealistically so) or sheer lunacy, a project course.
Content
What might interest you, you, the readers of this blog, used other blogs and forums eighteenth, in such a zine reading notes, exhibitions, theater ? Thematic sections on architecture, music, costume? Spotlights on the eighteenth century "elsewhere"? Interviews with novelists, historians, of costume?
I asked this same question (and those that follow also) Forum Madness XVIII. And I intend to go and ask a few other places on the net where these issues can be addressed. I think of the forum "Passion History." But why not also in forums amateur shooting black powder, ship modeling, etc.. Obviously, the subject specialists certainly prefer the literature on their field, but perhaps it would be possible to arouse curiosity cross?
The potential audience
The basic question is whether there would be a sufficient public that efforts needed to produce such a zine to be rewarded? Indeed, if it is so that readers accustomed only to stop the madness, it would be like driving a nail with a sledgehammer. I tend to think that by sharing such a project through other forums, blog, associations recovery, etc.. It could reach an audience a little wider still, but I am perhaps illusions!
The core team and contributors
No zine without matter, no matter without a team and contributors. If there is no volunteers to form the backbone of the writing team, the project will be stillborn. And occasional contributors would be welcome too. Run a zine, it takes editors, illustrators (or scouts illustrations), reviewers, at least one designer for the composition, etc..
distribution
PDF is very convenient, suitable for electronic distribution. Moreover, fully utilizing its features, you can include links to internal elements (with bookmarks, etc..) And external (Internet sites, etc.)..
These questions form not an exhaustive list, and I have no a priori answers. I have not, either, any preconceptions about people's reactions, whether in Madness or other places where questions could be asked. But here's my crazy idea of mid-August!
Whether you want to say " it is madness, stop! "," is crazy, and I'll drive / reader! "or" is crazy, I want to participate musings on this project! , you're free to say anything.
And rest assured, I'm crazy, but I do not bite (almost) never. ;)
Give me your opinion, if you wish, by voting in the poll (top left of page) and adding a comment, eventually. You can also send comments by e-mail address is in my blogger profile. I thank you in advance.
