The DH Times Writing Process XD
You write the articles for the DH Times. When you get assigned an article to write, you have until the designated deadline to get it done. If you do not think you will be able to make a deadline, you MUST contact an editor (Shay or Empy) and we can work something out! Don't just not do your work! We're relying on you guys.
When you finish writing your article, you will PM it to either Shay or Empy, who will then PM it to the Copy Editor after reading. Luna will then check the article for Spelling/ Grammar mistakes, and make suggestions as far as the writing goes. She will then send it back to the author, who will make neccesary changes and send it back to us.
Aha. XD
Deadlines
I can not express how important it is that you guys meet the deadlines that Empy and I set for you.
We want to get a paper out every other Monday, and in order to meet this goal we need your cooperation! By becoming a Times Staff member, you’re making a commitment to this Newspaper!
To Become A DH Times Staff Member
Eh, We have a good staff right now... If you think you have something offer to the paper, great! PM Shay and she’ll discuss with you what you could do to help with the paper. For the first few issues, however, I think we’ll go with the staff we have now just because we’re trying to get organized. ^_^;;; I’ll let you know when we could use some more people. We won’t know until we actually get the paper out, and see how smoothly it ran. ^_^
Assignments/ Deadlines for the first issue!!!! DH Times Volume One, Issue One are the following:
[/b][/color][/size]Growly- If you could write up a summary for the most recent episode (Sokka's Master, I believe..) that would be great! I don't think there is any avatar news, but if there is that I don't know about then feel free to write an article on that as well. ^_^
Random Pokes- Hmm, DHian News, eh? Well, I'll let you come up with some ideas on that... would you like to PM me and we'll discuss what to do for DH News this issue? =)
Seabuscuit and Splendi- PM me what staff member/ member you are doing this issue, and give me any ideas you have, and you can get started on your interviews. ^_^
Kohana- Come up with a few Polls for our "Member's Choice" section, if you would dear. ^_^ PM me your ideas on that. After I okay them you can post polls in the DH General Board, and next Friday we'll get a staff member to lock the polls and we'll display the results in the Newspaper. We also need to find a way to get the word out about the "Ask Times" column, the advice column for both RL and Internet-related questions. PM me, dear.
Miroku- PM me what you're doing for the comic strip, and once I okay it you can get started. ^_^
Empy and I will be doing a sports section. XD
