Just stand by them and people will eventually understand that a deadline IS a dealine.<BR/><BR/>You might want to talk with the editor-in-chief of "Legolas" as she is one of the few (maybe the only) fanzine-editor in Finland who manages to get the magazine out in time every time. I've understood that a deadline in "Leglas" really IS the last date that material is taken for the issue at hand, if something comes after the deadline it goes to the next issue.<BR/><BR/>But of course you have to remember that people are only people. No one (well only very few) will remember the deadline if you don't keep pestering them about it. It's very good to have all the deadlines set already in January, but you still have to keep reminding people about them every few months.<BR/><BR/>People will learn but it will take some time.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with "SPIN", I'm absolutely positive you will do a good job as editor-in-chief and I'm really looking forward to seeing your first "SPIN".<BR/><BR/>Susanna sends her regards: she also feels that your thoughts about deadlines are very sound.<BR/><BR/>-Ben-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
