The DoJ is an irregularly released Underground Zine. The DoJ covers every aspect of Underground culture from Virii to Hacking and from Drugs to Fiction. This editorial is going to just give an insight into the world of the DoJ and an intimate look behind the scenes. The DoJ Editors are glad to announce the introduction of a new member. RELM joins us as an in-house writer. Himself and Kleptic will be featured with regular sections. We'll get round to interviewing RELM before too long. As you all know we have some semi-regular features in the DoJ. We try to include an interview with some member of the Underground each issue, this week ethercat is interviewed. ethercat offered us space to host the DoJ site when no on else would. She definetly goes down in Discordian History as a class hacker chick. Both the editors knew Kleptic from a long time ago. He was a part-time hacker and part-time trouble maker. Of course he'd despute that... So when we were starting the DoJ we talked with Kleptic and asked if he'd like to be involved. We really didn't know Digial Avatar much, but extremely quickly he showed hugh ammounts of interest in helping and was quickly offered the Assistant Editor position. Digital started be writing but his role in the DoJ has shifted more toward advertisment and getting the word out. We have had draught periods so far. The flow of articles has always been slowly then we thought it would. We know we have a large coverage by the mail we get and also talking to people online. But despite that, people seem reluctant to write. We have always pushed the DoJ to be a more Underground zine rather than a technical hacking or phreaking zine. And to that end, we publish articles on dozens of Underground topics. Nothing is unspoken... If you've enjoyed reading any of the past issues of the DoJ or you agree with our ideal but don't thick we've followed through properly, then you have an obligation to help. Helping can be anything from submitting articles, submitting art for our gallery or just general advertising. This isn't us working for you like with regular print publications. This is a Zine, this is the wider Us making a living breathing publication. You are all a part of the DoJ as we the staff are. Just give that some thought... The Editors
