TIPS: Send your ms(s) by modem, First Preference, to: 1:2601/522 
1-412-LUV-RUNE  Fax: 1-412-588-7863, should be same number (try it). 
Second Preference Mail: Disk media: 360, 720, 1.2m, 1.4m. in unarced
/uncompressed format, PURE ASCII text format on disk media. LEAST 
Preferred medium: paper, however, if the ms is under 1,000 words -- it 
will be considered -- we hate to perform data entry. 

Ensure you provide a contact BBS with Fido Node number for NetMail, or
other E-mail address, home phone and your Postal Address, and always 
send/include a SASE, *especially* if you can not receive Netmail. 

LAYOUT: Standard submission format, flush left margin, ragged right,
with 65 column max right margin, blank line between paragraphs, spell 
checked, edited, and proofed by YOU! Pure ASCII only, please. We do
virtually no editing to your ms, except for layout into the e-mag to
fit fromat needs.

Rights: Copyright of each separate contributing article is held apart
from the collective work as a whole, and vests initially to the
author of the contributed article. The copyright holder of the 
collective work acquires the right of reproducing and distributing the 
contributed article, as part of the collective work, any revision of 
that collective work, and any collective work in the same series.
In other words: The Authors retain copyright to their work! And have
only sold the first serial rights for publication purposes.

 So dig out those moldy oldies, dust them off and submit.  The worst
thing that can happen is -- you could receive one more, but, highly
personalized rejection message.

  This electronic magazine will attempt to remain a vehicle for new
authors to demonstrate their works to their most valued critic -- the
Reader.  RUNE'S RAG is OUT_ware, a SHAREWARE concept, not Freeware, to 
the end user -- the Reader. If warranted, a semi-annual or annual may 
be produced in hardcopy form. The hardcopy issue will be marketed for 
sale and the proceeds will go towards supporting the continuation of 
publication and payment to authors.

  I hope to obtain grant monies, as well as solicit from patrons of the
arts, so we may be able to pay contributors a better rate. RUNE'S RAG 
will be released into as many bit streams as possible for the widest 
dissemination.
