Hi Alexander,
Welcome! If you haven't already, take a look at the steps in "Writing
an Article for the Fedora Magazine[1].
These howtos sound pretty great. Can you put together a pitch[2] for
one or two that you're interested in? These "fun, color and tech drama"
tools sound like they could collapse nicely into an "app picks" sort of
article (or even a series).

Hello everyone!
I also wish to get on board and write for Fedora Magazine. My
acquaintance
with this Linux distro dates back to the very first version of Fedora
Core
1 in fall of 2003 and continued (although with interruptions) up to
the
current Fedora 28 release. I'm a tech journalist, not a developer, but
through the past years I've collected a solid background of writing
about
open source software, and my Fedora installation has often been a
testbed
for it. Since 2010 I write for Linux Format, in which I currently
head the
Hotpicks section.
I've got a lot of proposals, both fun and serious, about amusement and
productivity apps that fall into certain groups. I can't immediately
write
about several apps of the same kind for Hotpicks, but I can possibly
do
brief how-tos for Fedora Magazine. Here's an example:
Add some fun, color and tech drama to your terminal with No More
Secrets
<https://github.com/bartobri/no-more-secrets>, Lolcat
<https://github.com/busyloop/lolcat>, Chafa
<https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa> and Browsh
<https://github.com/browsh-org/browsh>.
The serious part may be about, say, converting your ext4 partition to
btrfs, or xfs, or whatever without loosing data. It's not a fiction
<https://github.com/cosmos72/fstransform>!
So, I humbly think I can be helpful for Fedora users...

Kind regards,
Alexander
