Hi all,
Related to this post
here I'm quite excited after receiving this message from the senior editor of Torchwood Magazine
Hi there,
I'd love to use some of your "Torchwood Love at Gallifrey 21" photography in Torchwood magazine. Would that be okay with you? If so, would you like to be credited under your real name, or as creadigol_lili? And do you know the names of the people in your pictures?
Do please let me know,
Many thanks!
Simon

Of course, it could be too good to be true, and be a hoax, which is why I sent this to the email address he supplied.
Hi Simon,
This is creadigol_lili, also known as Samantha here.
You made my morning, and I'm simply over the moon that you'd even want to use my photos, but I want to first double check that you are the real mccoy before sending you the HQ versions of the photos. I'm sure you understand my reasoning behind this.
So I'll be calling your office most likely on Thursday to double check everything.
I'm currently in the London area, so I can also come in as well.
Once I do that I'll be posting a post on the tw_cosplay LJ comm asking if the cosplayers in the photos are willing to be both in the magazine and what names they want to be credited as. Then once I get that information, I'll send you the photos and the names.
I'll prefer to be credited by my real name, but a link back to my Livejournal in the magazine would be amasing, or to the comm itself.
Is there a particular date you need this all by? Deadlines and such??
Many regards,
Samantha
So that's what I'm going to do.
I was so tempted to just say OMG YES! but I put my serious hat on and throught about the issue of giving my photography away to someone who could be a poser and claim it as their own work and do whatever they want with it, which is a little dodgy considering the people in said photos have legal rights and all that (I studied photography in college, including some of the legal aspects too)
But if this is true... who else is as excited as me!!
