This is no different from contributing codes to a video game magazine,
or sending a short essay to your favorite mag.  They don't pay you, but
you usually get some kind of 'free gift'.  I don't see any problem with
it; I'm not making any money by posting it to the ML, right?  But when I
asked, Nippon replied that people who submit columns (such as a review
or letters to the editor responses) for the magazine get paid between
$100 and $200 per article.  This sounds quite reasonable to me!  The
fanfic & art sections are just methods of getting people interested, and
they give people a chance to see their works in a real magazine!  Oh
boy!

I had the official response, but my mailer blew up so now I have
nothing... :(

| I'd say that the first indication is that they are making money from
