DRAFT VERSIONWritten March 23, 1978, and published in Drummer 23, July 1978. I wrote this call (plus a second, personal call) for readers to become writers, photographers, and artists reflecting themselves so that Drummer would receive voices from all across the world and from all different kinds of men revealing a gay and masculine point of view. Also in this Drummer 23, July 1978, on page 72, I ran the first notice of my service tutoring writers, both because I was teaching writing at university level, and because I wanted to develop writers who could help me fill Drummer’s pages. Among the many who responded are some now rather well known names: Tony DeBlase, who ended up actually owning Drummer eight years later, John Preston, and a couple others who would not appreciate at this moment being revealed. –JF, 1 July 2002
