“p.s. unfortunately we cannot pay our contributors nor give out free copies of the book. But we can offer you 50% off retail price (5$) for a copy. If you are accepted you get seniority for the next issues, when we will hopefully have a pay structure in place.”
What they want is to get a whole bunch of cool stuff for free and then profit from it.
SENIORITY FOR THE NEXT ISSUES??? Bwahahaha.
