TheBlackFox Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 INFORMATION IN THIS ORIGINAL POST NO LONGER VALID. I AM NOT INVOLVED IN PIRATES MAGAZINE BUT RATHER IN "THE PYRATES WAY" WHICH IS STILL ON TRACK TO BE DELIVERED SEPT. 19, "INTERNATIONAL TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY" WWW.PYRATESWAY.COM
Fox Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 From the "Pirate's Glossary" Earrings and Eyepatches • There is no proof that pirates wore either of these decorations. They seem to be the imagination of authors to liven up their characters. At the height of the age of piracy, around 1700, earrings were no longer fashionable, and pirates like everyone else were in keeping with the fashions of their day. I'm impressed. What kind of articles do you plan to run, and are you paying contributors?

Cap'n Pete Straw Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 I sent in my subscription, sight unseen. A trusting soul am I. "He's a Pirate dancer, He dances for money, Any old dollar will do... "He's a pirate dancer, His dances are funny... 'Cuz he's only got one shoe! Ahhrrr!"
Cap'n Pete Straw Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 So, with all the talk (in another thread) about the Doom of this publication, and all the problems it has faced... ...Is this magazine still moving forward? "He's a Pirate dancer, He dances for money, Any old dollar will do... "He's a pirate dancer, His dances are funny... 'Cuz he's only got one shoe! Ahhrrr!"
Bilgemunky Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 I spoke with the editor of Pirates Magazine a couple of weeks ago, and things were still very much moving forward. I believe the premier issue is due out this summer. I AM BILGEMUNKY
Rumba Rue Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 seems to be a whole lot of stuff that's been deleted...
Cap'n Pete Straw Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 seems to be a whole lot of stuff that's been deleted... Yeah... what's up with that? Anyway, I sent my check.... Here's hoping everything goes swimmingly. "He's a Pirate dancer, He dances for money, Any old dollar will do... "He's a pirate dancer, His dances are funny... 'Cuz he's only got one shoe! Ahhrrr!"
Cap'n Pete Straw Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 Hah! I found this thread... I sent a check in for a subscription to this magazine back in March! Now with this thread refreshed, I can compare information between these possibly disparate magazines. Or are they the same....? For the record, I have not received an issue of this magazine, despite having sent in a check for a subscription. "He's a Pirate dancer, He dances for money, Any old dollar will do... "He's a pirate dancer, His dances are funny... 'Cuz he's only got one shoe! Ahhrrr!"
Cap'n Pete Straw Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 Our premiere issue is due out in May but we will immediately begin taking subscriptions via "snailmail." The cost for a one year subscription (four quarterly issues including the premiere issue) is $28.00 and you can save even more by purchasing a two-year subscription (eight quarterly issues including the premiere issue) for $54.00.Please mail check or money order to: Pirates Magazine, Inc. PO Box 26452 Baltimore, MD 21207 Print out the subscription form at: http://www.piratesmagazine.com/snailmail.html **Online ordering may not be availble prior to the printing of the first issue! So the URL link for the online subscription form mentioned in the first post of this thread is a dead link. But, I notice that The BlackFoxe has a signature box advertising "The Pirate Way." Am I to understand that this is the magazine to which I have subscribed? "He's a Pirate dancer, He dances for money, Any old dollar will do... "He's a pirate dancer, His dances are funny...

TheBlackFox Posted August 30, 2006 Author Posted August 30, 2006 I was originally on staff with Pirates Magazine but found that the publisher wanted to create a magazine that was similar to their other publication "Faerie Magazine." i.e. lots of huge photos, large type, good articles but not "piratical" enough. Thus we parted ways back in late March and I started work on "The Pyrates Way" magazine. I won't besmirch the competition because their magazine is finally out (May's release became June, then finally came out a week ago). I've flipped through the magazine and it really looks nice and I give them a Huzzahh for the great work. The Pyrates Way, however, treats pyracy with a much more "Margaritaville" approach. The pyrate history in our pages isn't just history. We find an interesting angle on a pirate or pyratical event and bring you a new prospective on an old story. We also fill the magazine with beautiful big pictures including "Wenches of the Quarter" which highlights three lovely tarts upon which you can vote upon on our website (interaction with readers is always a good thing). Tomorrow I put the first issue to press. We have a 15,000 piece press run of a full colour magazine and for subscribers, we have "booty" in each issue. The booty in the first issue includes a "Plank Owner's" card and certificate with your name hand-calligraphied (if that's a word) on them and a COA for the first issue of the magazine, should you get two and want to sell one on eBay in the future. We've already begun work on the Winter issue. I hope that clears up the confusion and I think both magazines will have their own nitch in the pirate community. . . . I just think ours will be more fun!
Rogue Mermaid Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 How many issues are in a year subscription of Pyrates Way?
TheBlackFox Posted August 30, 2006 Author Posted August 30, 2006 4 issues (it's seasonal) at $20 a year, $30 for a two-year subscription (save half on the second year). . . pretty sweet deal. www.pyratesway.com/subscribe.html
kerrystagmer Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 The other magazine (www.piratesmagazine.com) is already on shelves... I for one will be picking up a copy of both!
