Doctor Fantastique’s Show of Wonders magazine needs your help…
Doctor Fantastique’s Show of Wonders
Reporting on the Steampunk world, one cog at a time.
Late Saturday, September 24, the magazine officially launched a designed to help fund our transition to offset printing for the 2012 issue year. We’re still offering subscriptions, but this is another way that you can help the magazine achieve it’s goal of being able to print like a traditional magazine.
The Project
Doctor Fantastique’s Show of Wonders magazine has as its mission statement “Reporting on the Steampunk world, one cog at a time.” So far we’ve done that through website updates, and recently through a print-on-demand print magazine. We’ve met with some success doing this, but there are a few major problems with doing a POD magazine:
- The price is $15 per issue, with $17.63 being the real cost when you figure in shipping.
- We can’t offer subscriptions, which means people have to spend $17.63 every single time they want a copy.
- We’re limited when it comes to various back-end aspects of the magazine, which includes colors, paper quality, paper type, and so much more.
What we want to do is take the magazine to a traditional offset press. This will allow us to do a LOT of very, very exciting things with the magazine. Imagine if you will a traditional Victorian magazine, one that readers in New York City or London of the 1890s would enjoy off the newsstand. Now take that same magazine and have it covering a subculture which seeks to emulate the optimism of that period.
Suffice to say, we want to create the new Doctor Fantastique’s Show of Wonders magazine as a Victorian magazine using the same or similar types of paper, similar typeface, and be able to offer things like subscriptions, single issues for sale at US$6.99/CD$8.99 as opposed to $17.63, and be able to sell these to you at conventions as well as other Steampunk events.
We want to take the magazine to offset in order to make a better product for you, the fans of Steampunk. In order to do that though, we need your financial support. We’re running on a shoestring budget as it is, and though we’re offering subscriptions on our website right now, we want to offer another way for you to support our mission.
So if you want to see Doctor Fantastique’s become the best magazine possible, and believe me we’re going to knock your socks off, please donate whatever you can.
The Goal
Your donation is meant to help with the first 3 issues of 2012 — January/February, March, and April. Getting us to our goal of $12,000 will allow us to go to offset press and begin offering the magazine for sale at conventions, via our website, and also ship things out to subscribers.
If you want to subscribe, we welcome that support as well. Head to and click on the Subscriptions link to sign up.
Spread The Word
If you don’t want to donate, please blog about this project, mention it on Twitter and/or Facebook, and generally talk it up. We love our readers and our friends, and are tremendously grateful for any help we can get.
