What types of articles or subjects would you be interested in if there were a monthly "vampire/supernatural" themed magazine in publication?
Would a magazine like that be something you would like to see become available?
I would be for a magazine about the dark side of life. :) There are many who do not understand our ways and providing this magazine shows a positive aspect, it should go well with todays counter-culture. Just leave out all the private things privy solely to our kind. ;)
I think that there should be some things about out culture left in tho that can lead some of the unawakened to find the truth about themselves. I remember how hard it was for me to find anything good while i was going through me awakenening.
Good points!
But maybe a quarterly magazine with a matching website ;-). I know I still read magazines and books in print...I can't be the only one...right?! lol.
I've found quarterly magazines for Fairies and Pirates...but no Vampires/Supernatural. I need to get off my butt and put some ideas together!
Hey Ronni, you should suggest your idea to Cancer... He might want to advertize in it. Would be great PR, no?! :)
There was recently an Australian publication called Black, which was in my view excellent, but unfortunately did not sell well enough in order to sustain circulation. You might find some ideas there:

Jens and Hermit thanks for the suggestions! I've never heard of "Black"...I'll definately check it out! And I plan on approaching Cancer about that when I've gotten a format together and a sample/first edition put together...at least partially put together. lol. It's kind of a taken a back seat the last couple weeks because of shooting "Raising Kayn" ;-).
there have been vampire magazines/periodicals, im sure there are some listed in the Vampire Book Encyclopedia of the Undead. . .and organizations such as TOV have put out news letters. . .i dont know if there are now, but the setting is good with the vampire craze in movie and tv. . . .there are paranormal mags ive seen in borders. .
I've seen some "goth" genre magazines at Borders...and some "horror"...but none geared towards Vampires. I think your right about the timing also ;-).
for sure, what an awesome idea. if ya need sny help with anything just yell :)
I would definitely buy that magazine. You could put articles about "supernatural places" for vacations like:
Forks,WA
LaPush, WA
Sedona, AZ
Carlsbad Caverns, NM
Stonehenge,UK
Sun Lakes, WA
New Orleans, LA
Cairo, Egypt
That would be excellent.
I would also like to see information on health practices concerning vampirism.
Eavanya, thanks and I will definately take you up on that! Just need to catch a break in my schedule and finish putting a format together and get a few articles written up for the "roughdraft" to approach financial backers and advertisers with.
Chela, those are great suggestions!! It really helps to get useful ideas like those ;-).
