Your Longshot Contributors, Issue Two

Forty-eight hours ago we gave you guys an assignment, twenty-four hours ago you turned in your stories, and today we made a magazine. Despite the fact that we’ve only spent a collective 6 days streamlining this process, it seems to get easier every time. That’s thanks in large part to the amazing turnout of NYC’s media mavens — but even more thanks to all of you. Though it seemed nearly impossible to choose from all the excellent submissions, we’ve assembled a pretty kick-ass issue.

Whether or not your work made it into the edited magazine, we’ll be making every submission available online in torrent form.

But for now, congratulations and thank you to our wonderful contributors! Here’s our Issue Two Table of Contents:
