For a fee of $500, the [advertisement-only magazine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-and-wallpaper) will print any type of ad, with no questions asked. The magazine is designed to be a spot where [any advertiser can run an ad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ad-slots) that they've previously had trouble getting published for one reason or another. As of now, IT RAN is now accepting submissions for its first issue, which will launch in the fall.
