Another Call for Articles

[EUOL]

Hey, you guys want to post this little pseudo-editorial I did about my visit to the Tor offices?  I was going to throw it up on my blog, so it's only loosely organized, but you could use it as the EUOLogy for this week if you want.  I'd hold off to post it on my sight for a week or so that way.

It would be nice if I had a word goal for this little column I'm going to do.  It would make it feel more professional.

yeah, submit it as viewable by "mods" and I'll blurb it. or else post it yourself tomorrow.

How does 500 words grab you as a goal?

[EUOL]

I can do 500.

I'll post it up, you blurb it and give it an appropriate title and format it how you wish.  I do like the EUOLogy column name, though.  

I think having weekly columnists might lend us just a little bit more credibility.  I'll post these here, then hold off a few days from reprinting them on my site.  It would be nice, I think, if we put a little byline at the bottom of the pieces too.  IE, a EUOL, aka Brandon Sanderson, is blah blah blah.  He writes on various topics related to fantasy, being a writer, and webcomics.  Find his column here on the TWG on Fridays!

I just think some things like this would make it look more like a magazine column than a random person's post.  Probably better if you do the posting and blurbing too, since that will make it seem more legitimate--you being the editor, me being the columnist.  

What do you think?

ok, provide me with a short, two-sentence bio. We'll link to your site as well from the bio. i'm happy to blurb. I'd like to run the EUOLogies on Fridays if we can do it regular like.

Heh, if Fell gets a job at Wizards, we have to move him out of management for conflict of interest, but we could get him to do a weekly column too (maybe?) then we'll have a professional fantasy novelist AND a game industry professional with columns. the rest of us peons can provide the rest of the content.

[EUOL]

Lol.  You want to know what would rock?

Weekly columns from a gaming professional, a professional author, AND a professional manga editor.  See if you can get 500 words on a random topic out of Ookla once a week!

[Entsuropi]

For a moment I thought EUOL was going to say '...and a professional wrestler!'

But that would have been strange.

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

but he's right, it would rock. Ookla, what would it take to convince you of that?

[Prometheus]

Sent in a MTG decklist that I'd actually had done for a long time.

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

sweet, that means I can slack

[Fellfrosch]

Just got a grundle of books in the mail, one from Palladium and a handful from WotC. I'll see how quickly I can turn them around. I've also got a Heroes Unlimited thing that I've been avoiding posting because I don't want to wess with the html, but I think  I've finally convinced myself to do it.

[JP Dogberry]

Just submitted the next two Eva reviews. One Acidentlly got put into Video games. Someone else can fix that, i don't care enough.

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

I'll fix it. And don't think I don't appreciate this chance to clean up your messes

EUOLogy #2 is up and ready.
