Tag, MeFi Mag is it or something else witty February 3, 2012 10:26 AM Subscribe
MeFi Mag needs a tagline, got any suggestions?
Stuff that's been thrown around so far:
Community Expression
Community Creativity
Words and Shit
An unofficial showcase of the creative side of Mefites
Stuff
Do you have better suggestions?
Another notes: next issue should be out by the end of February at the latest (it has the Nerds theme), along with a new website with all previous content. If you've written something for the mag and want to beta the site and author control panel at some point in February shoot me an email, it's in my profile.

That's good subtext but something like ...
"Words and Shit Not Sold in Stores"
... that would catch my eye. Maybe exchange "Stuff" for "Shit" if you're concerned about coming across as too-cool-as-fuck.

Was there not something done from the infodump listing the zillions of joke MeFi taglines over the years? I'd be there's something lurking in there that would be spot on.

Keep in mind that more than words appear in the Mag, so a tagline shouldn't solely be about writing.
