news and announcements, cb newspaper Options

[sadolakced acid]

ok, this is a small suggestion, but not that this subforum is in news and announcements, i think the name of this forum should change

from news and announcements to admin's link, or something like that.

(i've always wondered why it's called news and announcements when there's only an announcments subforum. perhaps we could have a CB newspaper, that people could contribute to, and it'd be posted as a new thread in a 'news' subforum...)

seeing that i had more than enough time at school today, and also that i was superbly bored, i made a list/outline of what we'd have to consider and act upon.

I. staff
a. amount
1. it depends on the workload. longer paper, larger staff.
2. we can't have too many, because it would get out of hand.
b. qualifications
1. experience/talent
2. responsibility/dedication
II. presentations
a. where?
b. when?
c. sections, subsections, basically the layout of the paper.

hm i had a lot more, but they would come into play much later. i'll probably post them up once we get somewhere.

for staff, how many people do we have so far? it sounds like just basick, fae, and me.. it doesn't seem as if anyone has expressed interest in actually writing the thing.

i don't believe that it should be so much as a "you want to join? okay, you're in." that's kinda what i did.. unless you want to set up applications and such. i've thought out some things that could be on there, but i don't want to actually move and write all that down until i get an okay from you, referring to fae.

once this is a bit more organized, we should move it to a new area where there's more traffic. it would be a good idea to contact the other mods that might not know about this.. after getting organized of course.

Amount: there shouldn't be a limit until it actually becomes a problem. i feel that the more ideas/questions for the interview, the better. As of now, we do not have a problem of having "too many" and the fact that we're not sure how many people it would take to get the thing going really means we shouldn't set a limit to staff just yet.

Qualifications: i said before, and this still applies, that i "would like to read from an author that, at least, can achieve some semblence of control over his/her grammar and/or spelling". And that "creativity, confidence and some eccentricity a plus". An application would be awesome! You can post it here or PM to me.

II. presentations
a. where?
b. when?
c. sections, subsections, basically the layout of the paper.

It will be in the Writing subforum under "creatblog editorials". I know that it's not pinned right now, but if we can get it going, I'll repin it.

The layout of the interview will be simple.

Topic title might be something like "Get to know MICRON, aka Mr. Createblog".
Then we'll list the interviewers for credit and proceed to type question and answer. This format is just like the one used in magazines.
We'll do a small conclusion at the end of the Qs and As.

Before it's posted, one or two people will need to volunteer to be "editor in chief" of that interview. Meaning, the volunteer editor in chief will check for spelling/grammar mistakes before posting it. Maybe we'll take turns doing it.
