SHOOTY DOG THING ISSUE 2 - SUMMER 2007

A wee bit late due to my laptop dying on me three weeks before the due date of 1st June, the second issue of the critically acclaimed SHOOTY DOG THING is finally available for free download.

Shooty Dog Thing comes in two editions, one which you can simply read onscreen:

the other is designed so you can print out a copy to fold and staple as a classic A5 fanzine. It's a little tricky if you aren't familar with your printer, but you're learning how to print on both sides and reduce paper usage - so it's worth taking the effort.

The second issue I'm confident has all the pages in the right places. Just ensure the sheets with the lower-case roman numerals are on the reverse side of those with upper-case numerals and you shouldn't go too far wrong.

Please feel free to post me feedback on the fanzine. You can either email me direct at braxiatel(at)yahoo(dot)com, post a reply to this blog, or check out the message at the Outpost Gallifrey Forum, in the fanzines section.

Many thanks, and enjoy the issue!

Back Issues re-uploaded

Hi,

The people I use for hosting my files, http://www.fileden.com/, delete accounts that remain inactive for 56 days, so about a month ago they wiped the first issue off the server.

I've just re-uploaded those files, which you can download from here:

There was a free gift with the issue, a 'little brother' fanzine from the diseased mind of Erik Pollitt. Here's just the 'screen' version for now (I can't find the print version)

Hello! A bit late!

Hello. Probably none of you will come here looking until I post adverts around the place telling you that the second issue is out, but just in case anyone does think "it's June, I wonder if the second Shooty Dog Thing is out yet?" I've just popped in to say:

It's not! :o)

It won't be too late, just a week maybe. The laptop died on me, totally and utterly. I was able to recover the hard drive (now sitting on my desk in an external USB caddy thing - isn't technology wonderful?) so the issue still existed. I just didn't have a computer to complete it on until yesterday.

Which was a shame, but hardly the end of the world.

So, bear with me, and it'd be along shortly.

I'll also re-upload the first issue. Fileden deletes accounts that are dormant for 56 days, so I'll have to create a new one with them. I'll maybe re-edit the 'print' version first to make it easier to assemble! That's a job I'll do in a couple of days. I'll let you know here when they're ready.

Brax
