I Love Youth in my Area!

Hey there watchers and other wonderful DA members that happen to be on my profile! (:

A few months ago I was on facebook and saw a post from someone I don't know to well about this thing called [type] ryde. Sounds a bit odd, aye? Well, its a magazine and when I first heard about it, it was about 2 weeks off from releasing its very first issue. [type] ryde. is a magazine made by and for youth! It's based in the area of Ryde (no, I don't live there so don't try to stalk me there, you'll fail!) and its just a small magazine, with around 20 contributers and 5 issues released so far.

I didn't get involved in issue one. I could of, I had enough time to send something in but I get nervous about my writing and decided not to. In issue #1 though, I saw a little ad about a chatter session for the next issue. I went and from there on found myself getting involved in this wonderful little invention of a magazine. It's different to all the big name mags you'll buy at the newsagency, it doesn't have celebrity gossip or fashion or sex tips, it has writing and art and photography and articles about interesting and real things! We're different and different in a good way, we take all this diverse talent from youth in the area and jam pack it into a monthly mag that can make you think, smile, laugh and enjoy reading it for the right reasons.

I started by writing an article on myths and how they've influenced modern fantasy. That was fun, I'm a fantasy freak and researching myth and folklore gave me an insight into the differences of these stories in different cultures and when I saw it published in the second issue of the little magazine, I felt a thrill I'd never felt before. Writing is one of my great passions but more importantly, this little magazine, [type] ryde., is the passion of around 20 youth in the suburbs of Sydney and you should really give it a read and see this unseen talent.

In the current issue, #5, things have become bigger and better and I've even got a couple of my art pieces featured. I've written an article on wolf hunting, added a second part to my story from last issue. The best part is what others have done, you'll fine some very well written monologues, beautiful photography, a Paint Tool SAI tutorial and some amazing articles. READ IT! Read it and learn to love this magazine!
