The whole online presence of my zine has really started to show its advantages.  I have been recieving some submissions and getting some great feedback.  I really haven't strived to put my zine on the map of the world-wide-web but I now see that at least putting an indicator of what legoverleg is, has been quite a good thing.  Not only that, but people have been contacting me through e-mail with requests and submissions after they have seen the website that was done by my pal or after seeing this here blog. 

So I finally decided to give some updates that are proceeding here on my end with the zine and the creative process.  The last issue (issue no #3) was supposed to be a rough draft/literary journal where the reader could participate by editing the works that were there, but it turned out to be a failure.  NO ONE SUBMITTED ANYTHING THAT NEEDED EDITING OR REVISING.  They were all great.  Even the Greggy Peggy puddin and pie poem, especially surrounded by the wonderful designs of James Lloyd, a friend and loyal member of the leg over leg staff.  Well it wasn't too bad of in issue if you ask me, but here comes another out of the brain child of myself:

ISSUE #4:  ALL ART!

so yeah, no more literature, or if you look maybe hard and long enough at this next issue you might start seeing words.  A picture is worth a thousand words, and a thousand words could make many, many poems or a story about sitting on your own pet rabbit under the couch cushion.  (see dead pet stories, another zine)  But here it comes.  Actually it is proceeding about as fast as a herd of sloths, but if any of you people out there would like to submit send:

3 pieces of art( the magazine will be in Black and White) to
legoverleg@gmail.com
or
223 n. 15th Pocatello, ID 83201

I can almost gaurantee you that you won't have much competition, so feel free to express yourself(plus I will send you some free copies of other issues).  Thank you to all the people that have submitted thus far, and if you aren't an artist except with words the regular submissions are thus:

3 poems
or
1 story(1500 word max)
or
3 literary or artistic articles(creative non-fiction/magazine writing)

cool.  That's about it.  Keep those juices pumping.  So long and have a wonderful day

-yours truly,

attention writers!

Do you want your work revised and published?  leg over leg

a local zine is producing two literary issues(#3 and #4)that

 are in need of submissions:  Rough Drafts

that you want to have worked and published by a plethora of

readers and writers.  The edited copies will be bear a final

draft put together by two editors.  With each submission you

will be granted a free copy of both the rough draft issue #3

and the final draft issue #4

Therefore, you may self edit and edit other people’s work to

be considered for the final drafts.

 

The first issue(issue #3):  will have an introduction

designed

to produce a reader that can become literate in the art of

revision with an overview on editing marks, revision tips, and response questions for both poetry and fiction.  Then, the issue will

contain the rough drafts of all the submissions with room on the pages for editing remarks and feedback.  There will be a SASE with

each issue that will have directions on sending it in and an area for a return address, so everyone can get their rough draft issue,

issue#3 back. With all of the edited issues we receive we will make a

masterly crafted final draft for each submission (so the rights to allow us to edit the draft is required upon submission)

We will then create issue #4 which will contain the edited and

revised poems and stories of everyone that submitted.

This is an awesome chance to get published and learn how to make

 your writing more effective.

The next issue of my zine is going to be reminiscent of a literary journal, but there are going to be many differences.  This issue is going to contain rough drafts of people's work and guidelines for editing them.  It will be a magazine on how to edit a literary journal.  It will have directions on how to participate in the magazine process by using professional editing marks and strategies.  The directions will require that the reader reads, edits, and returns the issue back to alexa and I, who will then create the next issue which will be the final drafts, then we will send everyone back their copies that they edited.

Each zine will include a SASE to send back into Alexa and I, so that we may create the final work.

But I need You!  I need submissions from all different writers that will allow for their work to be edited by a large number of people and a final draft made out of the conglomeration of the editing.  There are guidelines for submissions but if you submit there is a very good chance I will publish you, whether you are good or bad; all of the readers of leg over leg will help every author to improve upon their work. 

At Idaho State University there is a literary journal known as Black Rock & Sage.  This journal is a maintained and produced by a team of students, faculty, and teachers, who all sacrifice their time to produce this literary wonder.  We have been getting together once a week to plan and carry out the required preparations to accept submissions.  The class in which I enroll in, that has to do with the magazine doesn't start until next semester, but we are desperately trying to get local writers, and students to submit. 

The details of the magazine are on our website, which is currently being updated, but the submission guidelines are as follows:
