Like Frankenstein, Ruckus Magazine is only ever resurrected by a strange combination of mystery and misfortune. It takes the work of a peculiar assortment of minions dragging legs and arms to and fro before a final compilation can be stitched together.
... Or maybe I read too many comics.
Just kidding about the misfortune part. It takes a lot of hard work and different perspectives to make a worthy Ruckus edition.
In fact this year's resurrection has a number of worthy announcements to make.
1. We have a designated meet up time and place.
Where: Cafe Solstice on University Ave.
When: 5pm on the 2nd and last Saturday of the month
Who: Young, old, newb, seasoned Ruckus writer, human, zombie, instigators and alligators.
We're focused on environmental, economic, cultural, and political issues connected to our university community. We invite participation from staff, students, and community members. Be it in the form of written pieces, design and art collaboration, editorial advice, outreach help or anything in between from zine conception to distribution.
2. Our next edition has been gathering momentum.
So far pieces have came in over summer and we want more.
We're looking for creative and politically engaged people just like your smarmy selves!
Our submission categories are:
1. News
2. Features (i.e. magazine writing)
3. Opinion
4. Creative Writing (fiction, poetry)
5. Visual Arts
6. Miscellaneous
The rag-tag group of regular Ruckus attendees have decided on a deadline of November 9th.
We hope to curry many new contributors and therefore are giving ourselves time to do just that.
3. Our last issue is available online (in pieces) at OAG
But I do have to say, paper editions of Ruckus are looking mighty fine as of late. If you so desire, more copies can be made.
4. As usual keep in touch with us!
This page will stay updated (in an ideal world), we have a page on fb at UW Ruckus and a Ruckus group you can request to join. Each do a little something different.
As always you can send submissions to ruckusletters@gmail.com
We take general inquiries at uwruckus@gmail.com
Our next meeting is on October 13th at the aforementioned time and place.
We'll have a sign explicitly stating we're the Ruckus group for new attendees.
So everybody, I’ll let the cat out of the bag. We are a group of average young folks. There are many different opinions, viewpoints and interests in our group. Even if you have no idea what a zine is or haven’t read an issue yet, please come join us.
Cheers!
