*As to the new direction of the magazine: it is not being produced for profit - nor to satisfy the publisher's whim...but instead the magazine will continue to be produced for the enjoyment of Artists.* Oh, so the price will be the bare minimum to cover bandwidth costs? *Contributors offer us an article or image, and in return we promote that artist by featuring them within the magazine...Being featured in the Renderosity Magazine has helped to promote many artists and writers, by giving them the opportunity to become a published writer or artist.* I can see how that may hold more weight if the magazine continued to be printed and available in a paper form. Of course there are a few reasons to write for free but I have freelanced before. Even if it just $1 an article/image it means more to be both published and paid. From the article at the link- "Sometimes you need to take yourself and your writing career seriously enough to insist on being paid." So what happens to those that had a print subscription that hasn't ended? Can they be refunded for the magazines that won't be happening in print?Calypso Dreams...
