I want to make sure you guys understand the proposition here.  There are two issues.  first:  the guys, Block Head, et al, who want to write for MD.  They need to write an article for submission 3000 - 5000 words and I will make sure Steve Blechman sees it.  It is up to him if he would like to publish your work.  Second: my offer to satisfy all of you who want a voice.  I offered a space of 500 words or less to be included in Romano Factor for whatever you want to say (within reason - no personal attacks, no bashing advertisers).  I would hope the authors would change and it would be a great chance to showcase some of the awesome talent on this board.  I want to make it perfectly clear that I am not promising anyone a job at MD.  Any questions?
This one made a BlockHead giggle for a second, John. I don't think anyone really expects a J-O-B as in a "job job" from Muscular Development Magazine. I'd hope not...I know it can't be that easy nor it should. I just think some of the guys here are geeked up because it is like you say a chance to really stage their voice and opinions and in their own way become 'a name' in this industry. It will also elevate their 'status' here on GETBIG.com which, I am afraid, means alot to some of the stool pigeons here.

 Also, to alot of us...GETBIG.com is almost like some sort of TEAM or GANG. We are territorial and aren't too kindly to the 'other' forums. One in particular. That's just natural, though.

 I'm glad you guys recognize the talent and insight here. I'm not too bold to say that Steve, being a shrewed and clever buisnessman is extending an olive branch, if you will to us here at GETBIG as a slick marketing move. It makes sense to me...he is aware and is smart enough to figure out how influential we are and how the internet and information so easy to access is the future and opening and flipping through a 'book format' is or will be a dead concept within the next 10-20 years not to mention...the construction of Muscular Development's very own interactive forums. By generating thiskind of 'hype' it might cause some people to register and log on.

 I know if I were Steve or if I ran the ship over there with you guys in NY. I would for sure try to consolidate with the action so widly popular and so heavily viewed over at GETBIG.

 Tru dat or hell naw?

You know - I would like to see one decent article from you guys - one that I can post up in the article section, instead of just talking, talking, talking. Get with it and start writing, and if it is good enough to put in the articles section of Getbig, then maybe a magazine will actually pay attention to you. Until then, stop talking the talk if you can't walk the walk...


Ron, I have been published in Planet Muscle, Athlete, and PLUSA plus several sites on the net.  Are you interested in publishing any of my articles on your site?  If so, please shoot me an email at chris@atlargenutrition.com.

As per my response to Ron if you are interested in any of the articles I have written please email me at chris@atlargenutrition.com.  I would also consider writing some fresh content based upon your desires for a particular topic.
