A few notes:
This is not sanctioned by Pearl Jam, but inspired by them :)

******Please write in email that you give Trading Stories with the Leaves Fanzine permission to use your work.

******Please include the name you would like to appear in the contents listing of the fanzine. Is it your Synergy Board Name, your real name, a nickname, etc.

******Please complete and include the following sentence with your submissions:

This relates to VS because . . .


If more than the maximum number are submitted for a particular section then the submissions to be included will be picked out of a hat (except for the Big Wave section.) For instance, if more than 5 contributors submit items for the Leash section, then I will put 5 of the names in a hat, and notify those that did not get picked this time.

You can submit as many items as you want, but for fairness sake, only one item will appear from any contributor in each issue. If only 2 people submit recipes, but 30 people submit concert reviews, and one of the people who submitted a recipe also submitted a concert review, then that person’s recipe would be included, and not the concert review.

If you have any questions, please direct them to tradingstories2@yahoo.com.
