Frequently Asked Questions

From October 2008, by Craig Bezant

Below is a list of the most common questions received about the Eclecticism e-zine. I hope they quell any concern.

Is there a print version of the e-zine?

For the moment, no. The image and text combination works very nicely on the internet, and it's saving a whole lot of trees and dyes. However, in the future, it is a plan to introduce an anthology – a printed collection of the best stories from the Eclecticism archives.

 

Is there a text-only version? I can't print out all of these pictures.

Firstly, the e-zine is designed to be read over electronic devices, such as a computer monitor. Secondly, for four issues, text-only versions of the e-zine were developed and published, but it took extra time (that could have been spent on the full version) for minimal downloads – in other words, not enough people were downloading the text-only version and so it wasn't worth it. I apologise to those who were downloading this version – if you read the note above, you will see that a printed anthology is in the pipeline.

 

Do contributors get paid for their work?

Currently, no. Contributors retain the copyright of their work (see Copyright Information) and their work is archived in the National Library of Australia's Pandora Archive (preserved for the ages). The work is also archived in the Back Issues section of this website, but can be pulled out at the contributor's discretion.
