Let's see here... being a Gun'Riter now... let me look at these catagories of complaints.
Churching it Up:
Actually, I write like a talk. If you talk to me face to face, I might use the word "Plethora". Is that too long for you or do you need the word "Lots" instead?
Cliche City:
I try to avoid cliches, but I do like to use metaphores or analogies. Oh dear... I just used more church words.
Butt-Kissing:
I only praise what is worthy of praise... if something isn't right, I do make sure to point it out.
Broken Articles:
The gun writer has no choice in how the article is published. You need to talk to the layout artists about that. Bugs me too... I like to read cover to cover. Turning to the back of the rag for the last 4 paragraphs is annoying.
Annoying Ads:
Unfortunately this is what pays for the magazine. Magazines need this money or your subscription rate would be much much higher. Magazines have to pay for the printing and for the individual articles that are written... You gotta have them... even the annoying ones. The ads are the product of the company doing the ads, not the magazine. If you don't like the ad, contact that company selling the product. Tell them you find their ad to be annoying and tell them why.
Personal least favorite ad - Photoblocker Spray. The ads are retarded and the product is a scam.
Bad Pictures:
Ichiro Nagata and Oleg Volk are gifted photographers... something that takes years and years to become. They know how to use the camera and get the most. Me? I don't know jack and I'm using a 140 dollar cheapo Fuji... I'm still learning the functions on the thing. The pictures, I know they are an important part of the finished article, but they are the least favorite thing to do... to me, doing the pics is like work or something.
