The Future of TWG Content

[House of Mustard]

Does the column on writing have to be written by the same person every time?  Because I think we've got adequate resources to write lots of authoritative articles about writing.  Stacer could write some, I could write some, EUOL could write some, Eric James Stone could write some, Matthew Buckley could write some.  If we all focus on our specialties, we could all be authoritative--and, since we're only writing a few articles each, the time burden wouldn't be bad.

*That* is a feature I would read regularly.

[Nessa]

Yeah, MoH's idea is a good one. I like it.

[Spriggan]

EUOL mentioned that he might be able to swing this every once and a while so someone needs to contact Buckley and EJS to see if they're intrested also aren't there a few other authors that pop-up once and a while like egg-fu?  Heck we should get Sclazi and have him do a point, counter-point with EUOL.

I don't think egg-fu has been around much, but I could let him know that you're interested in him participating and have him check out the thread.

And I could help out, too--mainly I'd say it'd be pulled together from what's on my LJ, like we talked about above, but I don't get too much cross-reading, I don't think. Or I could try to come up with something new and just post it both places eventually.

Don't forget Guitarbabe.

She's abandoned us apparently but she might be lured back.

[House of Mustard]

Guitarbabe still is writing, and I think her next book is coming out in the first half of 07.  I talk to her every once in a while, and I'm sure she'd be in.

Here's an idea. We haven't had a con report in a while. Someone should do a con report of LTUE next month. I could gather my notes from my main address and let you guys post them after the con (I'll be putting them on my LJ, too, anyway). If other people reported on other main addresses and/or panels, it might make for an interesting mix of fan stuff and writing stuff.

[Spriggan]

We should dress Fell up in his Mime outfit and do a video taped LTUE report as seen by a mime.

That idea is indeed, worth it's weight in gold!

[Spriggan]

And I could help out, too--mainly I'd say it'd be pulled together from what's on my LJ, like we talked about above, but I don't get too much cross-reading, I don't think. Or I could try to come up with something new and just post it both places eventually.

Stacer I'm perfectly fine with you mirroring stuff from your blog here or vice versa and I don't think SE or Fell would complain, we can just do like what news readers do or other sites and mention it's from your blog somewhere.

So how often are we looking at this? Once a week, twice a month?  And who's going to do our first/intro article?

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

I can say that I wouldn't complain at all. Unless it said mean things about me. Then I would complain in the form of Ninja Monkey Assassination.

[stacer]

Oops. I'll go delete those entries now...

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

too late. As soon as I said it the monkeys began their research.

[Chimera]

Well, at least don't assasinate stacer until after LTUE. I want to be able to say goodbye in person.
