Call for Articles the Next

[42]

We want to start moving our freebie stuff (like online adventures) into the Tower of Cheapness. Make it into a downloads section.

If I can get myself to get around to it, I could probably do some Tower of Cheapness submits.

I tend to only play older videogames, so I'm not sure if reviews of them would be as helpful.

The ever more prolific Brothers Gibb have given me a DVD review of xXx: State of the Union, with Iced Tea.  I hope to have that in by tomorrow.

[Spriggan]

Hey Skar, just a request, could you ask the Gibb to not always submit their articles with the titles and other things in all CAPS please?  It's kind of a hassle to have to read through them changing them.

[Skar]

No prob.  I'll just start taking care of it in my pre-post edit.

Incidentally, they'll be reviewing "The Island" this weekend.  I keep trying to get to the XXX review... it hits shelves this coming Tuesday.

[Spriggan]

Cool, thanks a lot.

[Skar]

The Gibbs brother's review of "The Island" is up.

Frankly right now we could use any extra content we can get our hands on JadeKinght, I really don't care if it's old games or what not.  During the summer we always tend to run into a shortage of review materials, due to all the conventions going on the people that are responsible for sending us stuff are busy and never get around to it.  It also doesn't help we get like 80%+ of all our review content from 2 companies.  That's why we've been making an effort to branch out with things like the TWGventures and columns by me and JP, for the next 3 weeks the only articles we've currently got scheduled are all done by the same people (4 people if you count that Fell tends to post his stuff when he gets it done) and that's a lot of work for just a handfull of writers.

In fact if anyone has any desire to help out with articles over the next month or for a longer period of time just let Fell, SE or I know about it.  Posting it here would be the best idea since we could all comment on it.  If it's a review just check to see if we already have one for the item and if we do will your's be any different in opinion?  If it's a column post what you are wanting to do here and how often and what day you'd like to do it.  If it's the occasional random editorial/rant that's fine too.

yeah, the original point of this thread was to beg you to submit. I like knowing there's stuff without having to search for it. Please, guys, submit stuff. "Nostalgiary" stuff -- old games or books, are fine. You'll note that we have columns and articls about A Wizard of Earthsea, TWERPS, and so forth. A

And they don't have to be reviews. Memories, strategies, commentary, etc. We like them all.

[Spriggan]

yes this thread line was initially for begging, but that's so un-vogue now a days while asking is "in".  And I don't know about you but I'm stylish.

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

then how about this: I COMMAND you all to submit material, etc etc.

[Spriggan]

Ohh commanding someone, that's defiantly going to resonate well with the hip crowd.

Anyway, I still think it would be ideal to get 2 more column writers so we could have all of them, Nerdery and JS, as once a month deals.

[The Jade Knight]

Well, unfortunately I'm going on vacation with little to no internet access for 3 weeks (until I get to Education Week).  After that I'd love to write some stuff.

And I'd gladly volunteer to help out with one of the columns from time to time if the need should arise.

So I finished formatting EP's online D&D adventure, finaly. I've sent copies to Fell and Sprig.

And hopefully I'll get some other reviews written this week. Depending how long my motivation lasts, of course.

How's about I write an article cronicling my 24 hours writing poetry? Would that be Time-wasting worthy?
