I've got something in the works. Still half-formed at the moment, but it's a Weal or Woe (a faun and a gathlain) coupled with a possible bestiary creature write-up (still pondering that one), both meant to accompany a short, fey-themed side trek adventure.

Will Wayfinder stay Pathfinder only, or can we write Starfinder things too?
Is there a good way to peer review potential submissions with others before you turn them in?

Whoa, Drejk....down boy!
I fully suspect that #19 will be, at least in part, a Starfinder issue. Paizo should have enough official campaign setting material out by then for us to get fans to write to.
Also, I think we've sorta have to wait and see if Starfinder is covered under the CUP.... ;-)

Wow. Breaking news.

I'm hoping, with the announcement of Planar Adventures for next year, that an issue on the planes might finally be happening.
But maybe I've just been thinking about that book too much. ^_^

Wayfinder #19 is just too far out on the calendar for me to start naming themes...or even to think out it. Wayfinder #18 is our prime focus, so let's not speculate on #19.
And I say I fully suspect Starfinder content will be in #19 because of the immediate questions I had at PaizoCon about it. Given the huge positive reception Starfinder has had at launch, I don't think I can dismiss it until #20.
But, again, we will see. Such a long, LONG way off. We'll talk more around PaizoCon 2019, OK?
I've got my submission almost ready, now that we are coming up to the wire soon. My first Bestiary article for Wayfinder!
NOTE: Any update on Wayfinder #18 and the physical copies being sent out?
I can't wait to see it in actual print.
Don't worry...I know these things take time.

The list is in, Paizo CS has responded, and I'm told they are in the process of going out soon. Hang in there!
And reply to this thread to let us know when you get your copies, OK? I'd like to know!

Oh, I almost forgot - I got my copy!
Ah yes, I got my copy of 17 too--I physically received it this week, but I think it arrived while I was out sick (of course -- had it delivered to my office).

You should have gotten an email from Wayfinder's editors asking for your address, I think.
But for the record I think if you have an account here (you do, since you posted from it), you can edit your account and shipping information even if you've never ordered anything physical to be shipped.

I emailed out a Google survey back in June. You don't need an account with Paizo, per se. I just needed info from everyone interested in getting a contributor copy, to supply to Paizo.
Kerney, you were on that email list. Sent June 16th. Reminder notice on July 17th. You didn't take the survey, though, so I didn't get your info.

You are most welcome! That's what this is all about folks. This always makes me happy.
I'm going to set up a survey at some point here soon, and ask all of our contributors if their Wayfinder work led to a freelance opportunity. I'm really curious as to the success rate for our "alumni".
Going to be working on one or two articles over the next couple weeks.
Also wanted to say I received my hard copy of #17 and it's amazing to see it in print. Thank you so much for putting these together.

Got two sent in so far, hopefully get another one in there before the deadline assuming time permits.
Unfortunately, I doubt I'll be able to do more than my current submission. Fortunately, it's for similar reasons to He'sDeadJim - thanks to Wayfinder, I've started getting paid writing gigs!
Without the issue 18 prompt pushing me to work on design (and netting me a polished writing sample in the process) I wouldn't be where I'm at. Thanks for the opportunity, Tim and Wayfinder crew, and thanks to everyone else who offered advice and critiques!
Is there a good way to peer review potential submissions with others before you turn them in?
Sent you a PM!

I would be willing to read over anyone's work, in exchange they do the same.
I have a short story written at 1570 words that I would love for someone to review.

Hey Timitius!
Is the artist deadline the same as the writer deadline?
I'm open for accompanying art, if anything is still available.
Have fun, everyone! The last one was the best yet!
Oh, No No No No No.
Artists don't get started until we pick the articles!
The way this usually goes is expect an email asking if you are interested and available to illustrate for this issue around late October. That's me assembling our art roster for the issue.
So, after October 31, give us about 2 weeks to select the articles and then art assignments will go out. After that, I try to give artists at least 6 weeks or so to complete assignments.
And if you AREN'T on the roster, but want to be, then you need to email me a link to your gallery so I can look at your work and style, and decide if you'll be a good fit for this issue and its content.

I just finished writing and submitting mine, thanks to Andrew for helping out!
Is it ok to share an open document link of what we submit on here?
Got a couple submissions in mind, but need to touch them up for Golarion, as I wrote them as setting neutral at first. Fingers crossed people like them!
QUESTION REGARDING FOOTNOTES....
I'm working on a flavor piece that mentions fey from several sources (the Bestiaries, a Pathfinder Campaign Setting book, and even an Adventure Path volume). Is there some standard I should be using to make things easier for the editors should the submission get accepted?
A quick pass through parts of Wayfinder #17 shows references to Bestiaries written out in parentheses (Bestiary 6) and an Adventure Path reference in superscript (AP #57). Should I stick with these? The multiple Bestiary parenthetical references seem quite repetitive, break up the prose, and tend to run up the word count.
P.S. - Got my physical copy of Wayfinder #17 around the same time He'sDeadJim got his; it looks Arr!-some!

The best thing to do for us is actually to leave us good notes using comments in Word. Then we can figure out if things actually need to be referenced or not. If you're not using rules elements, we often only include references for particularly obscure things.
Thanks for the quick response, Eric.
Hadn't ever used comments before Wayfinder #17 and haven't used 'em since! Makes perfect sense, though. Hopefully I'll remember how that feature works; seems to me it was pretty simple and intuitive.

I hope not...
Not a SCI-FI fan...I am sure there is still enough Fan Based stuff to have Separate Issues.
Question:
Will we receive an email notifying us that our submission was received?
Submission is in! Hope I hear from you soon!

I'm tossing around a few ideas. ^_^
The only one I'm dead certain about is a follow-up to my Fey Boons and Banes article in Prisoners of the Blight. Assuming I can stuff it into a submission's length, anyway...
If I haven't hit my limit of three submissions, can I send another, or do they need to all be in the same email? I thought I wouldn't have time to finish an entry but some time cleared up.

I've always sent mine individually and they haven't seemed to mind.
(If they do, uh...sorry, Tim and co.!)

For what it's worth, I use comments pretty extensively in my game writing. It's a great way to "show work" in stat blocks, offer comparisons for spells or items, or even let your editor/developer know why you've written/done something the way you have. I highly recommend them as a useful part of your work.

Also, I'm working on a Bestiary entry. I'd hoped to have more, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. Unless Isabelle wants to write them for me again, like last time. :)
You know where to find me. ^_^
(Especially since I'm no longer under the heavy weight of past projects. That's what happened with the last email...)
Judging by this thread, it looks like a lot of people are doing bestiary entries. (I did one too.)
Hopefully that just means an extra large bestiary section! Lol.
