Jenna adds this comment about the magazine,
Aced on the
website's opening page,
Quote:
The main inspiration for this magazine is Dan. Even the title of the magazine, "Aced", was entirely inspired by the card trick he did for me when I last visited him on the HP set! We decided to write about some of the things we knew he liked, because we knew a lot of his fans, our potential readers, would be interested in reading about them too, and we also wanted to print things that we thought would be of interest to him. Who better to write for the “typical teenager” than teenagers?*
The articles and material within the magazine have been and always will be produced by his fans. There were over 7,000 of them from all over the world who contributed to this magazine in one way or another. I hope you will have as much fun reading through some of the online version of the magazine as we have had making it.*
To read through the magazine, go to it's website
here and surf around the site as you wish.
Have fun!
Thanks to
TLC for information on the site and thanks to
DanRadcliffe.com and
Aced for providing the magazine and the site links.
