Is it acceptable to link to the competition?

I guess it is if it's mine, and it's not directly competing anyway.

This is a little hobbyist project set up by myself and comrades in Leeds, a sort of 'why we love games' e-fan-zine effort, if you will. We're more focused around features and opinion pieces than reviews, which is why I reckon it's okay to tell you all about it here.

Issue 1 online first weekend of December. If anyone fancies scrawling anything for us at some point, do nag me until I reply.

HG will remain my primary freelance port of call, so you're not rid of me that easily.

There's no problem with linking to such a thing from your blog. After all, your blog on HG is precisely that: your blog.

I do hope that, as you said, HG remains your main port of call. We're glad to have your reviews here and hope to see them coming!

Shh, I've be silently trying to get of him for a while, now. He hogs all the good games.

Oh you can't even write, Gary. Just look at that. LOOK AT IT. :)

Oh, he can write. He just can't write without making a million spelling and grammatical errors at the same time. =P

I input them on purpose to make everyone else feel better.

LOL Sure, you do. It just creates more work for me! >=O

He writes in his own special idolect, WQ.

An idiolect? Is that what we're calling it now? >_>
