Nothing to lose except your time & effort.
Sometime last year I decided to put the "lack of submissions" fallacy to rest and submitted several articles and pics of SF kits, plus a few reviews (yes, I know FSM doesn't take model reviews from strangers, but I didn't know at the time
), thinking that it would prompt FSM to increase the amount of SF coverage or maybe write an article about Wonderfest, or at least print the pics FSM took of the winning Wonderfest kits last year. But it was a wasted effort IMO, as nothing made it to FSM mag, and even their own pics from WF have yet to show up on the mag.
And yes, I've heard the argument that maybe my articles or pics were not "up to FSM standards," but quite frankly that's a humongous load of caca.
I'm not an expert writter/photographer by any stretch of the imagination, but I've read/seen worse published on FSM mag before, and if it was really true that the lack of submissions was the problem, then I'd guess that at a minimum 1 of my pics would have made it.
If anything this just shows me that the bias towards anything not in the normal 3 (aircraft, armor, automobiles) is alive and well, and as prevalent as ever.
{OK, I'm stepping off the soapbox now.}
I'm very likely preaching to the choir here and it's a dead horse that's been beaten to red goo already, and I'm sorry if my post sounds "holier-than-thou" but this subject is a very sore spot for me.
Time to go and build another Macross kit.
