Well, hello there, members of EoFF.

As you all know, I'm Lenna *smiles sweetly*, and I have a proposition for you!

After discovering that there is no "ongoing" newspaper for our beloved EoFF, I have decided that I wish to start up a newspaper based on the activities of EoFF itself, gossip about members (this information will be taken from General Chat not EoEo I must stress. Anything that is not found in General Chat, or doesn't have the permission of the member stated will be automatically dismissed.), comic strips, information about upcoming competitions as well as competitions already taking place, and any other piece of worthy information that you feel would be relevant to this place.

But, Alas! I cannot do this alone!

This newspaper will be completely web-based, not in any threads on the forum. I will set up an LJ community for those who are interested in reading the paper, and I shall set up a specific forum where we, the hard workers, can debate over what goes where, who get's what etc. ;D

At this moment in time though, I wish to find out who would be interested in signing up to be a reporter or a comic strip artist. Although you may find some people will have set duties, you will also have the opportunity to rotate but this has to be agreed by the other reporters/artists.

So sign up now! Either say in this thread that you wish to be part of it, or PM me if you wish. Regardless, I will put a list on here for all those who wish to be part of it.

Secondly:

Can anyone think of a good name for it? ;)

This list is of those who wish to take part, if the list gets too long, we may have to do a mini competition to narrow down the members (get the reporters to write a small news article and let the members vote for the best, but we'll also see how many other jobs we can fit in ;))

Current List:
Lenna - Editor / Marick/Dignified Pauper - Co-Editor

I would like some part in it. I can't exactly say what I would like to do, but I'm willing to help. Will it be weekly, monthly, or how will it be set up?

Lenna
09-04-2005, 12:11 PM
I was hoping to have it every Fortnight, so it's not too long a wait, or not too soon either.

I know for sure you'd have your own part in it UDH as the Pope ;) hehe, but yeah I'd love it if you could help. <3

Sounds fun but I don't know do I have any time to take part :(

And my English is not perfect

Lenna
09-04-2005, 12:49 PM
Zuzu, are you good at drawing/creating cartoons? and the Deadline will be every fortnight/2 weeks. So it wont be a tight schedule :P

Or if you want to be part of it but not do too much writing, you can write the information about competitions? Which wouldn't be too much, mainly just about where, when, who's in it etc. It's up to you, if you do want to be part of it hun, I'm sure we can find something for you <3

ZuZu
09-04-2005, 12:53 PM
Don't know I'm good with cartoons/drawing but because I just moved from home so I don't have scanner :(

But I want take part ;)

Lenna
09-04-2005, 01:00 PM
I'll see what we can do for you then hun <3

Rye
09-04-2005, 01:24 PM
I'm not sure what I could do, but I'll help if there's an art position open. I'm an okay drawer, but I can CG my artwork, so what would be even better is if I could do the CGing of the artwork of good artists who can't CG. :)

NP ;D <3 Thanks hun *adds to list'*


What about Dignified Pauper, he's a reporter.

As I've just told you I'm trying to get hold of him to see if he'll be the Co-Editor, as he was the previous founder of the EoFF Newspaper.

Sounds fun but I don't know do I have any time to take part :(

And my English is not perfect

me too >_<, but I `m good in photoshop program if we need it ^_^

Lenna
09-04-2005, 02:12 PM
Shall I put your name down for now and see what we can come up with for you <3? This is just a list of people who want to take part, we'll most likely find small jobs for everyone, as running a newspaper will need more than a small group <3

Can I just remind everyone that this is a huge community. There will be people who can speak perfect English and others who will struggle.

I would like, if possible for those people to have some part in it as well. I will not leave them out because they can't speak perfect English, as there are other jobs that can be addressed.

In the end I want a mixture of everyone possible.

Marick used to enjoy doing this sort of thing. I'd have thought he would have replied by now.

Lenna
09-04-2005, 02:35 PM
He's fast asleep, that's why.

I'm trying to get hold of him to see if he would be the Co-Editor with me. As he's had experience with this thing before. But I'm sure he'd enjoy being part of it. Hopefully anyway xD

Or a cartoonist.

Lenna
09-04-2005, 03:25 PM
Done - Old Manus, sorry but there'll be cartoonist for you ;P

If anyone is also very good at doing puzzles/coding/wants to proof read stuff. I could use people like that too. I want it to be like a normal news paper but based on a webpage :P

So I will need coders to help with the layout of it etc.
<3

xXGldenCatXx
09-04-2005, 03:28 PM
Ooooh Can I help!?

Can't do coding though...But I can do like sigs so I could maybe have a go at art, or something.Or I could help write stuff up?

Lenna
09-04-2005, 03:31 PM
Sure, what category would you like, (not coding cause you said you can't do that)

Reporter
Cartoonist
Puzzle section
Graphics Artist
Proof Read
Layout (coding)

09-04-2005, 03:35 PM
I just edited my above post lol.I could help write stuff out if people give me brief info etc, I can make storys out of it? I can make stuff too...Like imasges but I cant do the flashy things like in ur ava.

Lenna
09-04-2005, 03:36 PM
Okay atm I'll put you down for Writer / Graphics Artist. is that ok?

xXGldenCatXx
09-04-2005, 03:37 PM
Yep :p Thats fine.

I can do a button that leads to the forums if you want, Id mainly like to do writing though.

Lenna
09-04-2005, 03:39 PM
Hehe, If anyone has any idea's for the newspaper then please go ahead and give them. I'd like everyone that wishes to be part of this to have some sort of job, so if you can help think of any that'd be useful in the paper then please HELP! :p

<3

xXGldenCatXx
09-04-2005, 03:49 PM
Whats the name gonna be?

Or still not decided?
Whoss the newspaper site gonna be hosted by aswell? And what exact type of news will we be doing? Just like what people say that shows relevance and importance in threads etc?

Lenna
09-04-2005, 03:56 PM
Names not decided.

I run my own site (proper hosted and own domain). But the webpage will be the newspaper itself, so the page wont be in any relevance to the site. So it'll most likely be on there, as I have no limits to my hosting etc.

As for what'll be in it, if you read the first post it tells you all that.

09-04-2005, 04:00 PM
I would like to be involved somehow. But I dont know how.

Lenna
09-04-2005, 04:04 PM
No problem, at the moment I'm just really taking names down of the people who would like to be part of it, to see the numbers I have. Once that's done we'll start seeing who gets what etc. :) Although if there are too many reporter we may have to narrow it down, but I'm aiming to give everyone who wants to take part, something to do.

Rye
09-04-2005, 04:04 PM
I can code on Dreamweaver a bit and I can make layouts, but many people can make better ones, so if no one else wants to help with that, I can.

Lenna
09-04-2005, 04:09 PM
I want as many people to sign up as they can! ;D so don't worry Rye, I'm sure we'll have some people helping you out there :P

Resha
09-04-2005, 04:13 PM
Tiffie, I can help with the coding. o_O Not too great with it myself, but if someone more experienced than me can help me out, I can throw in odd bits here and there. :)

Lenna
09-04-2005, 04:14 PM
WTG! :D you people are <3

Resha
09-04-2005, 04:16 PM

Lenna
09-04-2005, 04:21 PM
We now have Marick/Dignified Pauper as our Co-Editor, so he'll be helping me run it <3

Much love for you DP <3

Dignified Pauper
09-04-2005, 04:26 PM
Sorry my beautiful EoFFers. I've been away all day Saturday at King's Island, drove home 2 hours, arrived at 3AM, craziness, but well worth it to see two great friends.

I'm honored that so many of you recommended me for this, and I will take this job with the utmost seriousness that I can. There is a fine line about reporting that I actually do understand. I at one time wanted to major in Public Affairs Journalism, but switched to English instead, so I have a very BASIC (VERY) understanding of how it works with reporting and I can edit well.
This will take a lot of coordination, communication, and commitment. Mine, in two weeks, will be lacking some, as I am going back to school, moving in, starting classes, and going to try to find a job. It'll probably be those first two weeks of school - when figuring out my schedule and what I need to do and when I have free-time - that I won't be on a lot. Though, I'll try my best.

Thanks all, thanks Lenna for a great idea.

Dignified Pauper
09-04-2005, 04:32 PM
I'm speaking with Lenna now via MSN, and we're talking about numbers and people getting involved, and whatever. I believe we don't need a whole lot of people involved or interested yet. What we have now is a good starting number. I figure, if we can get a few good articles in the first edition, cartoons and the rest can wait if not ready, then we have started successfully. It's okay to start small, get people interested gradually, and I think it'd be a good process. She's decided to leave this up for a few days, make sure everyone can see it, then, we'll start the project.

Thanks to all you who are helping already.

If you wanted to I would offer my skills, but they mainly lie in web design/programming and such. I could possibly host it, but that would be a finacial burden I don't think I could handle right at the moment.

I do some drawing, but I am not the greatest. I can write fictional stories, but I dunno.

Anyhelp you need, I would be glad to lend what I can :D

Hosting wont be a problem. As I've mentioned, I have my own website which is actually hosted by my mate Daniel (not from EoFF), Atm I've only used about 30mb of it all together and I have a fair amount more. So the hosting is not a problem.

I'll put your name down at the moment and see what we can come up with for you <3

Dignified Pauper
09-04-2005, 05:40 PM
Hmm... I'm not any good at this... so, if I do terribly... Meh, Reporter Pleases! <333 ^_^?

:love:

also, not to single you out, Yee, but, if you don't feel you have any skills in this area, but still want to help. Reporters need scouts to look for leads and everything in the field. A Scout for this would basically just browse the forums occassionally, looking for something interesting that one may want to write about. minor, yes, but it's still taking part. After-all, Reporters usually can't do it all on their own, their usually busy trying to make the story(ies) interesting and what-not.

Apollo
09-04-2005, 05:47 PM
Well, I know you have some already, but I could help with Graphics, so you can put me down as a Graphics Artist. I could also be a scout, like Dignified Pauper said to Shauna, I could be one of those instead, or I'd prefer to be both, but whatever. :)

Polnareff
09-04-2005, 05:48 PM
Come on people I need cartoonists too!!! :D

Ouch, this is sorta bad timing then >_>;; I don't have a scanner yet, but I can try to go to my friend's house every week/couple of weeks to scan some cartoons, and you can use those.

Do you mind if they're drawn in manga style, though? They'll be 4komas.

I'm not really good at any of the other stuff, though, so you should look for others to do the reporting and such (which it looks like you already have)

So, I'll think about it. ^_^

Is anyone able to draw comic strips on the pc? and not just offline?

Polnareff
09-04-2005, 05:53 PM
I can do that, but I have no means of coloring it, and plus it'll take me a while.

Dignified Pauper
09-04-2005, 05:53 PM
Well, the entire purpose of a scout is to balance what the Reporter does. A reporter doesn't always have time to check up on leads and get interviews. They do, but they need help in organization, usually, every reporter has 1 to 2 scouts, but that's only after it's large. In the beginning, the Reporter usually does everything on their own, but because it's a smaller thing, it's easy to do.

Also, I never started the EoFF Newspaper persay, i just reported during the elections and the terrorist attacks on EoFF.

:)

Lenna

If you can do that, Rye can do the colouring in, as she's stated in one of the previous posts. You'd have about a week and a half each time, but bear in mind they'll only be like newspaper cartoons, about 5 boxes each. It wont be a completely huge comic strip.

If that's ok with you?

Polnareff
09-04-2005, 05:59 PM
Yes, that's OK with me. I have some experience in the field of short comic strips, so hopefully they won't disappoint :P

And the paper should be called Eyes on Eyes on. :|

Really.

Dignified Pauper
09-04-2005, 06:53 PM
We're taking suggestion for names, from anyone. However, only the members of the paper will be voting on the name.

We're looking for something original, outlandish, and unique (Psy, Meat Puppet, TUH, Manus -- we're looking for great submitions from you). Though the paper is affiliated with EoFF, the title of the paper does not have to contain anything dealing with the forums. It just needs to be witty, classy, tasteful, and humorous, hopefully.

you can post here, or submit PM's to either Lenna or myself.

Lenna
09-04-2005, 06:53 PM
As me and Marick were just saying, we'd prefer it if we actually got some original idea's from the members and have a private vote to see which one is more suited.

Just because it is to do with EoFF doesn't necessarily mean it has to have Eyes On in the title either.
We want something original yet classy!

I like that name and it's connotations .
Well now I took out the 'o' and made other alterations I am not sure it has any connotations now :(

I am just going to start going for more names:

Jabba the Hutts Ajanawooboo Magazine.
I LIEK BUTTZ.
Where is all the cheese at?
Jesus loves the News (well he would if he wasn't dead or living dead or something or married to his mother).
Smells Like Old People (You could even get Kurt Cobain to sing a theme for it, but the inconsiderate arse shot himself).
The Newspaper from the uninformed, information is great!

I'd be cool if we had two versions of the paper. Basically the same thing, except one layout would be EoFF Classic Blue and one EoFF 2005 Brown. Though that would be extra work and hosting, so I guess not. :p

Lenna
09-04-2005, 07:27 PM
UDH is coding atm trying to do the layout to show me and DP, to make sure we like it. I've asked him to code it in EoFF Classic Blue though for now. I don't know, we'll see about it, maybe. But let's get organised staff first.

Sign me up to be Reporter who quickly rises to the top by delivering one amazing article after another and then through a bizarre twist of events is revealed to be a nutjob who completely fabricated everything from times, dates, locations, to the actual events themselves. It'll be fun. Lenna can be the stern but kind-hearted editor whose job it is to take me down. :)

Or ya know, I could be a fact-checker. Those guys have all the fun.

Once we have a name for the newsletter we'll need a banner made for the site using black and the color blue my text is in this post.

The width shouldn't be larger than 411 pixels and the height 78 pixels.

Keep in mind that the border outside the banner will be black.


Eizon Times or The EOFF Inquirer are some serious names.

Cid's Slaves or Lenna's Lagoon for some not so serious ones.

I could take a crack at that if no one else has claimed it first. :)

iv got to say i like the "EOFF Inquirer" it sounds professional, im sure i could make word searches no problem, oh and i have a friend who is a very good drawer, both on and off the computer, he like final fantasy as well, he's currently not a member, but im sure he would join, would you like me to ask him about filling in the position of cartoonist ?

Lenna
09-05-2005, 12:04 AM
Del Murder I love you <3

And Ultima88, I'd rather have people who are already members of the site to join up for this. I've pmmed someone else about being a cartoonist, so I'm waiting on their decision.
I'd like at least a few members who know one of the staff of the paper. And also someone who knows what it's like around here. Someone who wont take one look and possibly run off abandoning us. Sorry.

We'll have to get the Graphics artists to create a banner then vote on it.
SilverWind, by the looks of things, Del Murder will only be doing Jumbles, I'd like to do the Logic Puzzles, so if you can think of any other puzzles you can create then gladly! you can be a puzzles expert too ;)

Sephex that's no problem, As long as there's at least one comic strip that's to do with EoFF members in each issue. That's why I want more than one cartoonist. TUDH <333333

09-05-2005, 12:45 AM
That'll be the Agony aunt section for UDH - With funny / witty responses etc, so it wont be really important/serious questions. Although, Jebus is very good at giving advice, so he'll have his own advice column too, which may be a little more serious.

Haha, I think "Dear Jebus" has quite a ring to it, don't you ? ;)

At the moment me and Marick/Dignified Pauper are just rounding up numbers to see who wants to get involved etc. Once we have them we'll start sorting people set duties/possible rota's. Once we've done that we'll most likely make a start on the Paper itself. We'll have 2 weeks each, well for the work it'll most likely be a week and 4 days. So we have enough time to gather things up and get them up onto the site for our deadline. 2 weeks shouldn't be too much of a hassle for people.

As for names, I'm going to start compiling a list shortly after posting this, and thus. Lenna and I are actually really liking EFFing Nosey, however, as this will be a private vote through-out the staff of the newspaper, it will be decided at a later date.

This isn't a project that I feel is going to be finished in the next day or so, probably not til tuesday or wednesday, which is because of the heavy planning Lenna and I are putting forth.

Anyways, we're planning the layout with UDH.

Jesus loves the News (well he would if he wasn't dead or living dead or something or married to his mother).

The Newspaper from the uninformed, information is great!
Cid's Slaves
Lenna's Lagoon
The Daily BoB
Chocobo Chit Chat
the EOFF gazette

I wasn't aware of how many names we had gotten, but these are the names we've been submitted in this thread. I think when we finally decide (and are organized enough) Lenna and I will go through, sort out the bad from the good and have the vote on the good ones.

Also, at first, many of you want to help, though for the first few issues, we may not have positions for you right away, as we're going to have to get used to it and figure out what we need etc. Start small and grow is easier than starting big and shrinking. Though, never fear, everyone who wants to help will sooner or later have something they can contribute and will.


Ultima88, that's a good wordearch, if the width was a bit bigger, it'd be better, but a good start. Definitely not bad.

Anyways, Lenna is asleep now, and I'm in charge for the night. I'll prolly be up for a few hours. If you have anything, you can find out how to contact me in my profile or just holler in #eoff, i'm on hl. anyways, yea, hope for more stuff guys.

09-05-2005, 07:15 AM
Can I please remind everyone. This idea does not purely come down to me. I may have had the guts to start it off, but the idea had come from scatters of other members idea's.

I do not want credit alone for this.

For one, Dignified Pauper is definitely showing dedication to this and may put more in it than me, but I will show dedication. As it will be something I'll love doing. Without DP, there is no way I'd be able to make this a success. Not on my own anyway.

theundeadhero is putting alot of work into the layout of the paper itself, and is doing a really brilliant job. As he is the only person with more than a basic knowledge of coding, he is crucial to our finishing outcome.

As for the rest of you, we need you. Everyone who's volunteered for this should be praised far more than I. It takes a lot of courage to put yourself into something like this. To be part of a community. You may say that it's easy, but for some it's not.

I do not deserve any credit for this.

YOU lot created this. Not me.

I merely stated the idea.

So praise yourselves <3 not me. :P

Hey all, just a quick note before bed.

Lenna's right, but also wrong. It needed someone well-known and established and respected to start this. I for one, am not entirely respected by everyone here as much as she, and for this, she was right to start it. I will invest time into this, because it is a great idea, it's great practice for a serious writer, such as myself, and it'll just be interesting to see how the community responds.

As for now. I have a feeling we're going to have to put a lot of people who want to help on hold for the first few issues.

To be brutally honest and blunt, a lot of people will want to help, but I'm not sure if they realize some of the work that they will actually have to do. Sure, this is just an online paper for our local forum, but we want it to be good, and worthy of being affiliated with EoFF. Because of that, we are going to reserve the right to reject people's help at anytime. Some people may get lazy, and while I haven't talked to Lenna, I think she'll agree that when this happens, we simply say, thanks for the help, come back when you're ready to reinvest time in this. Also, you may want to help, and we may not like what you have submitted. Even if you've been helpful and we've taken and published your work, don't expect that because you've been in the paper that you will be in every issue. We'll take the best stories, as many as we think we will need, and put them there. If your's does not make the cut, sorry, but that's the way it is.
A lot of people, at the beginning, I think will be put on the back burner, a waiting list. I'm not expecting the first few issues to be full-scale greatness, just the start, to get the fundamentals down, to check talent, etc.


Anyways, it's 4:15AM I'm tired. Night all.

Seriously though, Tiff. You deserve all the credit you're given in this thread because it is your idea. You know I'm not one to boost your ego, but if you deserve credit, you should be given it. Other people are or will be getting their credit when they do their bit, too. It's all good. :)

The newsletter plans to have an "advice" column where people write in questions and they are answered in the letter. It will be similar to what 8-bit theater used to do.

For those of you who are familiar with 8-Bit theater you already know about the "Twinking out with red mage/Ask evil princess Sara" sections they did. Those who don't know about them can click the link in my signature if your interested.

If you have questions you want "answers" to send them to me in PMs and I'll pick the best to print in the newsletter with answers.


If your interested in the look of the newsletter this is the template we have. http://www.geocities.com/floydsarmy/newsletter.html A simple design was decided on for it's ease of use and follows the classic blue look of EOFF. If you have any suggestions to improve it anything can be considered.

Don't worry yet, we'll let everyone know when this gets started. It'll be a little bit before the first issue is released. So all of you wanting to help, we will let you know. But don't be looking now, as I said, we'll probably downsize the immediate staff at the beginning simply because not everyone will be needed. Not that you won't have anything to do with the paper, you can still vote on the name, however, we're not going to need you for any writing of stories and what-not. However, as this project goes along and grows and (hopefully) is popular, then we'll definitely add on as needed.

Let's also note that sometimes, the news has dry-spells. There may be times where the forum isn't the most busy, and then our paper is going to be smaller and that some stories simply won't be printed.

Also, one more thing. We're planning on setting up a forum for the newspaper staff. With this, hopefully we can avoid confusion when this thing starts. Many times, reporters won't communicate with eachother, will write stories over the same events, and then only one is published. In our case, that forum will be where the reporters request events to report on. Basically, first come first serve unless we, the editors feel otherwise.

I may seem like I'm being Nazi about this project, thanks to Manus... but I just know how these things get. I was on Highschool Newspaper class; I know how journalism in the very basic ways, and I want this to be a success.

Can I just say Marick, I already mentioned to UDH that I will be strict on deadlines. There is no way I'm going to let people let the rest of us down. I will ask for deadlines to be taken seriously and if anyone doesn't have a really good excuse to miss a deadline then it'll be a warning. If it remains continuous, then you can guarantee you'd be removed from the staff, letting anyone else who has the devotion to do this.

I'd also like to say that do not get any idea's yet please, do not start writing any information yet. We do not know when this will start. Although we want it to start soon, gathering information now etc will be pointless as it may turn out to be "old news".

As BoB has kindly said we can use our own board on Aiyon, we shall do that, but I'm afraid that for a short while, we will need to use a temp board as Aiyon is currently inactive/down. This would just be a small invision board or something. Just to get us started.

I would like each reporter/writer to post their idea's for a story up on this board, and also then give a draft of what they will put during the end of the first week. This way we can proof read etc and see whats wrong before the deadline of the paper itself.

So just wait for our go ahead before you start anything please.

Good job with the style sheet for the layout.

I was wondering what if want to write an article and i'm not on the staff? Could you let "freelance" journalists submit a article here or there if it's any good?

If it's good, then I'm sure we would be able to include it. Depends on Lenna and I's wants. We want dedication, and we are going to be (as she stated) very strict on the deadlines. all articles must be submitted 3 days before deadline so that TUH can get them on the site. However, if something comes up, we can add them with in that 3 days.

Right everyone, today is the last day you get to decide whether you want in or not. If you've changed your mind, please state this so we don't give you an important job when you don't want one! Me and Marick, will most probably sort the numbers out tomorrow and we'll get started on deciding set jobs or rota's for people.

Thanks again for all your support <3

No, I haven't. I'm just a good boss with people.


Anywyas, we'll definitely be splitting up people soon. We're definitely gonna have to put some of you on the backburner and steadily add you. You can still be involved with the paper, in little ways, but you're not gonna have an article in there. Though, your time will come to shine!

Names not decided.

I run my own site (proper hosted and own domain). But the webpage will be the newspaper itself, so the page wont be in any relevance to the site. So it'll most likely be on there, as I have no limits to my hosting etc.

As for what'll be in it, if you read the first post it tells you all that.

Yeah, but is it on the whole of GD or just bits?
Or are we gonna do stuff about the ridiculus stuff people say aswell?

Can I start writing stuff up?

No, no one start writing stuff up.

None of you know what jobs you have at the moment, so please do not start writing anything as it may be good to you and get turned down when you find out you have another job with the paper.

Anything you are going to write up, MUST be approved by me or Marick. That's where the forum comes in. You will post your idea's there, we'll tell you yes or no. If no then you will have to find another story.

The way I see it, we'll have don't know if Marick will agree but I'll speak to him about this later, ignore the numbers of how many are in. {This is the basic idea I have. To give people a random image of what it'll turn out like}:

About 3/4 Main reporters (big stories. Approx 500 words (I'm not good with counting so just assuming atm :P))
Approx 6 Small reporters (random spam/general stories. Approx 150 words.)
2-3 Puzzlers (About 6 different types of puzzles)
2-3 Cartoonists (we'll discuss how big the cartoons will be.)
5 Scouts (to gather information from the people)
3 Spell checkers / Proof readers (make sure no spelling / grammar errors ;))
2-3 Graphics Artists (to get / create pictures/images for the stories stated)
Not to mention the introductory page with bits from me and Marick xD

How about... no


Okay, so. All those who have been announced as Interested shall be getting a PM from me on where to go for the forum. I'm going to be updating it and sorting it out. This is merely temporary, since we're going to get our own section at the Aiyon boards thanks you BoB, whenever the server goes back up. We're going to be voting on the title soon, after Lenna and I narrow down the list. If your pick doesn't make the cut, i have this to say to you, "get over it". :D

Anyways, I'll be PMing fellow staff members today about where you can check stuff out.

Also, I haven't spoken with Lenna about this yet, however, I would like some way for the EoFF community to be able to put in submissions for ideas and or to write in letters to the editor and what-not. When I speak with Lenna, see if and how we can do this, then we both will get back with the community.

Once again, thanks for your interest in this project, and much appreciation to Lenna.

-Marick-


This JUST IN!!!!

Aiyon Forums are back up and in action. The temporary/back-up forums are done as well. So, when the main forum is finished, we will send you all a PM, giving you a link to both. We ask that you register at both.

Each Forum will have it's own little stickied topic detailing what it is all about, and it's emphasis. Voting for names will begin soon as well.

Remember, this actually will involve a lot of time and dedication. It's not too late to ask to be off the list.

Also, there will be a roll call. We know not everyone will be there all at once. So I figure Lenna and I will pick an amount of time for people to join up before we choose the name. Stragglers, sorry, but we sort of want to start the project, and TUH wants to finish the lay-out.



PM's have been sent out and the main board is up. All those listed in the very first post have been sent a pm. Please do that asap and post in the roll call. thank you very much.

Right. This thread will now be closed by BoB, as the paper will no longer be looking for anymore volunteers. If you do, however, wish to join, you will have to PM either me or Marick and we will put you on a waiting list where if any member of our staff doesn't meet the requirements, we will then have enough room to hire someone else.

Atm the moment as I have already said, me and Marick will now sort each member into groups of their jobs for the paper. Myself or Marick will post this list up on here. Once you have your job title, you are required to do the work and meet the deadlines. If you do not then we have the right to remove you from our staff.

Other than that we will contact you as soon as possible <3
