Preliminary Results

[ellenmillion]

Many thanks to all who have answered the poll thus far. You are still more than welcome to weigh in: http://ellenmillion.livejournal.com/795206.html

At a glance, you definitely want me to give you the business... er... write more articles about business stuff. Readers of the 'zine are focussed on the gallery and the features, with the expected high number of Wombat readers (It would be more, I suspect, if this poll were running on Ursula's LJ), you're not keen on the name, and you're feeling some love for the checkbox.

I was surprised by how many of you want me to write bad poetry. Yes, that IS the only kind I write.

So... a different name for the 'zine.

I considered tying it in more with Fantastic Portfolios and trying something like Fantastic E-Zine? I also found that artofthebusiness.com was free. Maybe something with 'speculative' so it includes sci fi?

I'm very open to ideas. Look what I ended up naming my business, fer godssake.

I think Fantastic is taken for a magazine title. It hasn't published in several years, but keeps saying that it will, so you'll probably want to avoid it.

I'm out of title suggestions, though. But you can always check Ralan's Webstravaganza (http://www.ralan.com) if you'd like to get a notion of titles that are out there.

"Fantastic E-Zine" would be an improvement. A title needs to do two things: 1) tell readers what's in the magazine, and 2) stick in readers' minds. Think outside the box...
