Here it is!

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed! <3

[Caveat Lector]

Congratulations!

Yay, finished!
Thank you so much for featuring my article!

And then... Shock! The review for The Photographer by Ran S. was as unexpected as it was wonderful to read, especially as it picked up on some of the small nuances I hoped would add to the experience - and Taleweaver I'm sure will be equally happy as he was the writer, but it would only ever be half as great without YuukiCrossPudding's art. So thanks to them both, and of course to Ran S. for that lovely review. Made my day

[Taleweaver]

Yup, I'm a happy little Taleweaver. Thanks for your hard work; I very much appreciated reading an in-depth review of a project I've been involved in.

That was lovely! The comic in the middle was my favorite part, but the NaNo stuff made me smile, and the list at the end was super useful. Thank you for all your hard work!

Awesome! I'm so glad to see it out!

What I take away from this issue is that I probably really need to play Banality Man.

My favourite section is Fake Vn Review, and I really hope it continues.

I'm super grateful to have seen that NanoReno round up, as some games get lost in the tide. For example, I had no idea that Donmai had made a new game!
It's quite an impressive feat to have played them all!

Keep making more!

Awesome! It looks great. It was rather fun to read too.

(I don't mean to be that kid who complains... but...)
The formatting is a little... It might have just been me, but I feel like the font between articles was not constant.
Also, there was often a lot of white space in some of the sections, especially those with those small character images floating around.

If you use Microsoft Word,

You can maybe change the formatting a little bit. Make some things 2-columned? (In Word: Under the page lay-out tab. If you press columns, you can choose how many columns. The more columns option will allow you to choose which parts to format and which parts to leave alone.)

And, with the pictures that are dropped around near the text, you could probably make them fit into the text a bit more? (In Word: right click, wrap text, tight... will allow you to place your images into the paragraphs/lines/area of the text.)

This is just my advice though. Since, I've never tried making a magazine thingy, I dunno. Well, nonetheless, keep up the good work. *salutes*

Hi! Glad you liked it.
I would have liked to have had it be a bit more constant, formatting wise.

Basically, people contributed with their own formatting and I kept it. However that is also my fault, as I didn't give any of the contributors any specifics to go off of. XD That'll be on the list if I do this again. Thank you for your input!

Also I use InDesign, not word, so I'll try to figure that out for InDesign.
