Quoth the Raven 19

[ScS of the Fraternity]

Greetings from the depths of darkness!
The Fraternity of Shadows is now accepting submissions for Quoth the Raven, the world's most famous online Ravenloft fanzine with the words "Raven" and "Quoth" in the title.
The Fraternity is digging deep for this issue; nary a cobwebbed corner has been overlooked, nor dark well gone unplumbed in the search for tales of terror. As always, we invite the all of the Ravenloft community to join us in our conspiracy. We will be accepting articles written by the fans on any subject related to Ravenloft or Masque of the Red Death.
To help our spark the demented imaginations of our community members, the Fraternity has assigned a theme to this issue. This year, we fed Socko slips of paper with potential themes on them and asked a volunteer to pick one out. Sadly, no one has wanted to touch Socko since he took up jogging. After much debate and childish name-calling, we created an illusion of a person to fetch the theme. I have never before seen an illusion so happy to be disbelieved, and I say now that a phantasm can indeed cry, but it was all for the best.
This issue's theme is: Cats.
As always, we will accept articles that do not conform to the theme, though we will make a note of such intransigence.
As usual, we will be accepting new submissions up until October. Contributors who need more time can contact one of the Fraternity members.
The issue will be available for download in the Library on October 31st.
Contributors are reminded to include their names and their email addresses in the document. A template for submissions to Quoth the Raven can be found here: http://www.fraternityofshadows.com/Mausoleum.html

Finally, I would remind would-be contributors not to submit their articles to our dread secretary Drusilla, as she will likely shred the mail, or worse, use your return address to figure out where you live.

Yours in Shadow,
ScS

[Rock of the Fraternity]

To which e-mail address should I mail my first submission? I have several ideas...

[ScS of the Fraternity]

Hello Rock,

You may send the article to this address: isawtheraven@hotmail.com or you could send it to any Fraternity member with whom you've worked in the past.
Just remember to clearly identify that the email is for Quoth the Raven.
Also, don't forget to include your email and your handle in the title block of the article.

Has there been any articles written on paka before? That seems like a ripe cat-esque topic.

Two questions: First, what is your preferred length for these articles? Second, if we are describing something new (such as a magic item or a new monster) should we include game statistics, and if so, what edition should we use?

I know I'm new, but are there submission guidelines somewhere that I didn't see?

I'm actually really excited about this. Thanks for any time you take to respond.

[Gonzoron of the FoS]

For the preferred length, I'm not sure. Long enough to describe what you're describing, I guess.

Statistics are definitely a plus. Any edition is fine. Pick your favorite, or include as many as you can.

I don't think we have any official submission guidelines... ScS? do we?

Best advice: take a look at some previous articles to get a feel for what we're looking for. All issues of QtR are available in the Library.
