I need you ALL TO KNOW that Mal shot down my VERY GREAT IDEA of a coffee themed issue one BUT with that said I vote for #3, CARVING OUR SPACE, because that is what we are doing!!!!
Clearly correct,

I can’t imagine a world in which Emerson is usually correct, but this once, at least, I’m with her.
3. Carving Our Space for me too.

Hi friends (:
I think carving our space would be cool too? Since we’re doing that, like Emerson said. Making space for ourselves in our little corner of the universe.
I vote that.

Hi all,
Nylan, I see where you’re coming from, but I feel the same thematic elements of “Carving Our Space” will translate through “New Beginnings” just as clearly.
I’m putting my vote in for Option Two.
Mal, Emerson—are we able to start pitching stories soon?
Cheers,
James King

To the MixxedMedia staff:
With the majority vote, Option 3: Carving Our Space will be the theme of issue one.
Emerson and I would like to publish by the first of the month. As that’s a tight turnaround, yes, please send in pitches or stories as soon as possible.
Please reserve e-mail chains for zine business.
Best,
Mal
