What the heck-- start those typewriter journal submissions. Please sign up to contribute if you haven't already, and read the spec if you have any questions about the project. If the spec doesn't answer your questions, well, slap them in the comments. (Note that the spec has been updated and has new information, so I'd suggest looking through it again if you've seen it once before).
As for the theme, the jury has weighed in against a theme for Issue 1. This means it's a choose-your-own-adventure kind of situation for your submission, provided you have first read the spec regarding submission types and guidelines.
Swing for the fences, people. I want to see a journal full of Susan Boyle moments. (I cried, people-- I'm not made of stone.)

Susan Boyle was amazing! I have began some drafts on the art of retro-tech, it needs work but thats why they call it a draft. Good luck everyone!
This is going to sound crazy - especially for a retrotech journal - but layout would be infinitely easier if submissions were scanned and sent particular formats (jpg, png, and such) with a minimum of 300 dpi. It would make the layout much tighter, crisper, and exacting. InDesign software loves such things.
And yes, I realize how un-retrotech that sounds. Quit laughing.
Single or double space which would be preferred?? I didn't say in the spec so I figured id ask. Thanks
Monda.... I need to ask you more questions. I don't have a publications layout program.... but I should probably dig one up (I think there is a free one online-- InDesign is way out of my price range). Hmmmm
As for single or double... I'd say go with single.
If you're not going to take the magazine to a print shop for binding and such, you can always use Frontpage. For art/photos/typecasts try downloading paint.net for free. It's close enough to photoshop and very easy to use.
Note Frontpage - Use Publisher. I'm braindead from grading.
This sounds like a very promising and engaging project -- and I'm looking forward to participating!
