Periodicals Draft! Results!
4:41 PM
Like the aspiring Print Media Barons we all are, the group (OK, me, your friendly administrateur) decided to draft periodicals. The rules: online media counts (no blogs), and your publication must be, um, published more than 5 times each year. That ruled out Dan's favorite biennial, Anarchy Every-So-Oftenly, as well as the oft-forgotten gem, Engineering! Go For It!Commentary to follow by the end of the week. Have at them:
(ps. Sign #1 that you are too anal: making individual links for every periodical drafted. Enjoy.)

Your tyrannical rules prevented me from drafting the 1999-2000 Gonzaga Aquilian too.
Ploughshares -- what a brilliant pick, this draft was pretty interesting guys, better hope your commentary is fit to print in the New Yorker, well the New Yorker circa 1978.
I appreciate the agreement that by Rule Glib & Superficial could not be selected. This avoided what could have been a very ugly situation.
"Dan" doesn't read much, does he?
FYI:
An eyeball estimate of all printed publications (excluding Slate, Salon, etc.) in this draft yields a total price of $168 for one newsstand copy of each periodical.
Legitimate attempts at a more exacting bill will be printed.
Man, you really need a hobby
because it's inferior.
also, adam really has too much time on his hands.
OK, listen up, assholes. I *SAID* at the time that it was an eyeball estimate. It took me about 3 minutes to come up with. Don't imagine me poring over a newsstand, or clicking on subscriptions on each publication's website, or anything. Because I did not do that. Now Baroness, go atone for your insensitive comments.
It is a mystery to me that this group omitted Highlights Magazine.
Also, did anyone else notice that although his image inspires dreams of the awesome power of the publishing world, not one of Mr. Hearst's publications made it (or could even be seriously considered) in the draft? Poor Oprah!
