Call for Articles the Next

[42]

Well, I've sent a query to Green Ronin to get their blessing on my adventure. Hopefully I hear back from them soon. After that, we can publish it, we hope.

[Entsuropi]

I know green ronin has a bit up on their website saying they are not accepting book or adventure submissions but I can't see them taking offence to you putting it up here.

[Fellfrosch]

Yeah, I really think they'll go for it--we're not asking them to publish, just to approve it.

[Mr_Pleasington]

Just submitted my review for the WFRP GM's Pack.

Bestiary is up next.

[Entsuropi]

Damnit! I was meaning to do a double review of the GM and character packs. Though I still could, of course.

[Mr_Pleasington]

I'm just upholding my end of the bargain Fell offered.  Review of the GM Pack, Bestiary, and Ashes of Middenheim in exchange for that last book.

On another note, NA NA NA NA BOO BOO!

Well, that whole Narnia press release thing didn't work very well.

It's nice to limit posting to one a day in order to stretch out our meager written material but I suppose we'll just have to do two things at once occasionally in order to avoid the Narnia scenario.  My fault incidentally on the Narnia thing. I gave Fell a wrong impression of the release's time sensitivity.

Movie stuff tends to be generally more time sensitive.  Should we just plan on posting movie things the soonest possible moment, whether it means doubling up or not?  The big exception to the soon as possible rule would be reviews of old movies that have been in the rental space for a while already.  But that's about the only exception I can see.  To that end, I'll continue to give Fell as much advance warning as possible on Press screenings and pre-release DVD reviews.
What say ye?

I don't mind doubling up at all, but I really should have read the thing so that I knew it had to go up last Friday instead of this Friday. When Sprig mentioned in the forum that the trailer was up, I thought, "hm, I wonder what that article is about?" and read it, and realized we'd missed the boat. In the future, just tell me when to post things like this and I'll do it--press releases don't really deserve their own day anyway.

The only thing about movies doubling up, that I see, is that we don't want to have two on one day and nothing on another. Usually this can be worked around if we have advanced notice of what's coming in so we'll know if we have the material (as we definitely do right now) to spare an extra article or not. If not, then we know we need to change days on something.

I don't really think it's that big of deal to post two articles one day and then nothing the next. As long as articles keep coming I don't really see the problem. A lot of websites will skip a day occassionally.

[Fellfrosch]

As it stands now, we have a full schedule at least three weeks in advance, with plenty of stuff waiting in the wings. I don't think we're in danger of dropping a day anytime soon.

and it's irritating. You can count on regular visitors better if you have regular content. Daily = better than staggared.

and yeah, like I said and fell repeated, right now that's not an issue. It was several months ago when I was doing the posting though.

[Fellfrosch]

This is our third week using the "three week advance schedule" system, and it's working really well--maybe we should tell other people about this phenomenal new "planning ahead" stuff we've discovered. I think it could be big.

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

huge. Bigger even than my ego.
