We will be publishing four full-sized progress reports and up to eight smaller newsletter format Broadside publications. Advertising space will not be available in our Broadsides. The deadline for reserving ad space in Progress Report One is November 30, 1995. All ad copy is due on December 31, 1995.
Progress Report One will be published in February of 1996. Before being mailed out, Progress Report Two will be distributed to our members at L.A.con III, the 1996 Worldcon. Progress Report Three will be distributed at LoneStarCon 2, the 1997 Worldcon, before being mailed out. Progress Report Four will be published in the Spring of 1998.
Broadsides will be published according to a complex formula based on the positions of the moons of Jupiter and the editor's whim (every quarter that a progress report is not published). All of the above may not take place in this particular universe.

We recall the cost of running a Worldcon bid (it seems so long ago). Bucconeer offers a half-page ad credit ($50 value) to any legitimate Worldcon bid committee. The value of this credit may be applied against the cost of a larger ad. We also offer a full-page ad credit ($100 value) to any seated Worldcon committee. Space will not be automatically reserved.
We are seeking artwork and articles for our upcoming publications. Naturally, our themes are Baltimore and pirates.
Preliminary deposits for dealer tables are being accepted. You may reserve a maximum of five tables. The cost is $50 per table. This deposit does not guarantee that you will receive any tables. If you are not selected, your deposit will be refunded.
You are invited to join our crew and help us run Bucconeer. A successful Worldcon needs many people working together. Contact us for information and a schedule of our meetings.
Her Royal Majesty, the Pirate Queen of Fenzance, thanks her jolly crew, loyal subjects, and beloved friends for helping our bid committee capture the 1998 Worldcon for Baltimore. It is HRM's wish that all members of the Fannish Realm join our celebration at Bucconeer, the 56th World Science Fiction Convention.
