IG Summer Newsletter

First off, this was not my idea. The fabulous [livejournal.com profile] peter__parker was going to head this up, but due to my being a power-hungry wench, I've taken hold of it. Today, the summer newsletter, tomorrow, the WORLD. Mwahaha.

...or possibly I have time and he doesn't. Whatever.

Basically, the thought is that over the summer, rather than the Fandom Hightimes, we'd have a bi-weekly newsletter featuring interviews, movie reviews, the Shipping News (since I already got confirmation from you guys) and at least one regular column. Since it's just a newsletter, though, we'll be keeping it fairly light.

At the moment, I have a list of everyone who said that they'd be interested in helping out with this. BUT, because I am OCD like an OCD thing, would you please comment to this entry if you're interested, regardless of whether you've been contacted OOC already or not? It's just nice to have everything in one spot. Bear in mind, however, that since we're keeping it light, spots are kind of limited and/or not everyone will get to write in every issue.

Details will be hammered out over in the newspaper comm once I know who's interested.

Questions? Comments? Offers of cheesecake so I'll spare you when that world domination thing happens?

Due to a number of RL school-related things that I must get done this morning, the newspaper will not be posted until this afternoon. Sorry for the delay!

Boykissing!

Don't forget to nominate your most wished for boykissing couple for Veronica & Phoebe's column!

Click Here!

Assume all nominations are anonymous.

Nominations will close at midnight EST Sunday so that Veronica & Phoebe have time to, you know, actually write the column.

Ethics article also didn't make it into Hightimes this past week. Not enough time to get the quotes, write the thing, run it by all the players OOC/IC and let Tara-mun read it.

So........

If Beka can run into Kawalsky, Piper, Callisto, Logan and Rory in Study Hall, Journalism, or some other class today and grab a quick statement off you, that would be fantastic.

(*cough* Angelus and Beka still need to discuss practice the Ethics Assignment. *cough* But only if Angelus's player, whom Beka's player loves muchly, is up to it. Otherwise, she just needs written consent to use the things he already told her.)

I'll also need, as per Tara IG, written permission from each of the characters that gives a statement. So, if anyone who is going to give a statement could (pretty please, I know this is a pain in the ass) C&P and 'sign' this statement and comment on the inbox post I'm about to make, that would make me very very happy.

In fact - thinks while posting - if you want to drop a statement into the inbox post, that'd be fine too.

Thank you everyone for cooperating with this. Next time my chara says she thinks it'd be great fun to be a journalist, I'm going to smack her. *eyes Beka*

Okiodokio (shamelessly stealing from Jake-mun):

Last week's gossip got aborted because Beka just couldn't bring herself to say anything that might be hurtful about people who were grieving for Kitty and her mun had a totally wicked migraine.

This is convenient for her mun this week, because the culmination of two old plots and the beginning of a new one (none of them hers but let the omgbreaking begin...) will keep the mun insanely busy over the weekend (omg how did it get here again already!). Soooo...

Beka will be using last week's gossip plus anything that gets to me before Friday morning.

Letters and anonymous gossip tips can be left for Beka and Phoebe in their spiffy new mailbox courtesy of Jake-mun

While Phoebe-mun and I will know who sent them in, Beka and Phoebe won't.

Please dish any gossip here, ASAP.

Also, please, keep the chatter on the post down. *woeangstmuneyes*

*loves on you all*

OK!

I've got IC interviews with Angelus and Tara. I've got Shep who has said he'll give a statement.

What I need, pretty please, is an OOC heads-up from you here if you'd be willing for your character to give a short statement, by e-mail, about the assignment and what you learned or didn't learn. This request is limited to those who actually did the assignment.

People I'd especially love to hear from if they're willing:

Kawalsky - because I've got Angelus.

Callisto and Logan - on the slave revolt.

Rory and Chiana - on how it works when someone really knows about slavery.

Buffy - about giving up the need to be the figure of destiny.

Bel and Phoebe - on M/s and a romantic relationship, how it changed the assignment.

Number Six - on dealing with Logan. ;)

Everyone else is entirely welcome, these are just people I know who had concrete issues that I'd like to touch on.

Please let me know ASAP so I can arrange an IC pick up of the information before tomorrow afternoon. The original request was sent out early in the week, so we can respond to that email and it shouldn't affect anyone's timeline for the weekend.

Cooperation greatly appreciated. Cyber-cookies will be sent. Gift-smut could be written. (Yes, Cally-mun, I still owe you, and I *am* thinking about that!)

Smooches and thanks!

OOC: Gossip/Letters

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

It's Saturday. Where did the week go????

Ack.

You know the drill. Drop the gossip here. PLEASE.

Letters would be lovely and those can go to Chloe or Jake or me to my screened OOC email.

Thank you!!!!

If anyone wants their Parental Units or Guardians gossiped about, or wants their own activities this weekend to make the gossip column, please comment here.

The paper comes out on Tuesday morning. And so Jake and Chloe don't keeeeel me and Beka, I'm going to try to get the article written by Sunday night.

Leave your gossip here.

We still need anonymous questions for relationship advice too, and those should be sent to Jake or Chloe via the High Times email.

Danke!

Everyone:

Because of Parent's Weekend and also because I'm running myself into the ground on Sundays and Mondays with the gossip column and Monday being my biggest personal workday, I'm going to post this now and beg you just to update me throughout the week.

If there's anything that you'd like gossiped about, drop me a note, and a link. If there's something that's totally offlimits, please drop me a note as well.

This is supposed to be fun, so if you want your character to get into a bitch-fight with Beka, or agree with each other to plant false gossip, that's cool, and I'm down with it - but let's do it by prior arrangement so we can contain the IC consequences to people who've agreed to be involved.

Also, don't forget we're looking for anonymous letters asking for advice. The earlier we get those, the better. Send them to Jake or Chloe so that Phoebe-mun and I don't know who wrote them. ;)

Thanks!

Okay - so Veronica has been approved to write a series of articles for The Fandom High Times to educate students about their non-human classmates/teachers.

I need to know which characters are non-humans (and what they are), who is "out" and who is willing to be interviewed IC about Veronica. We'll also need to plan an IC way of Veronica finding out about your character's status and setting up the interview.

Cut for Length )

OOC: Gossip Again

You know what I need.

Dirt. Details. Permission.

Have to write it tomorrow night, so bring it on!

I'd love to do stuff with the Ethics class assignments that people accepted, but I won't touch that without both parties permission.

Does anybody have an in-character reaction to the elections that they'd like to have quoted in Monday's FHtimes? I'm looking for average students, as well as winning and losing candidates.

Linkage to a post I can quote is fine, or just drop something in the comments here. I will love you forever. (Or at least until [livejournal.com profile] oatmanspatient gets back.)

Thanks!
[identity profile] valentine-tart.livejournal.com
It's that time again.

If you have gossip you'd like gossiped about, please leave me and Phoebe-mun a note here.

If you want to 'Ask Phoebe and Beka' (oh the irony) about relationships, dating, whatever, anonymously or not, drop the question here.

We'll be working on it tonight and tomorrow.

Let us know. Thanks!

Sorry about being last minute-y, but my hand was hurty and I was busy kissing Rory, so my brain wasn't fully functional.

1. Would the following concent to an interview for the newspaper? It does not have to be acted out, can be done by e-mail or AIM, but will have to be done by Monday.

(you may have already been contacted by your interviewers, I'm just trying to keep track)

NEW TEACHERS:
[livejournal.com profile] brambless
[livejournal.com profile] charlieeppes - Journ: Chloe
[livejournal.com profile] manofthemullet - Journ: Krycek as he's a sucker for big puppy dog eyes
[livejournal.com profile] notjustacabbie


2. I was thinking of doing a weekly profile of the clubs/societies we have at the school, but I can't remember who's in charge of what... So, uh, help?

3. There will totally be a weekly coffee pin-up No matter what Chloe says.

4. Beka & Phoebe need mail/calls for their Advice column -- you need to be signed in in order to post to the commenty thing, but you can sign the note something cleverly anonymous.

5. Same goes for Letters to the Editor(s) -- And feel totally, completely free to have your character bitch about what was in the last issue, or over school issues or, hey, compliment the chef on his, ah, imaginative dinners.

6. Please, please, someone else sign up for reporter/journalist duties? So far we've only got V (and Krycek by way of big sad eyes), and while she's lovely and all, thet's a little too much to ask. If it's not IC for your character, we can working out how they'd end up working for the paper OOC.

7. Random content suggestions, please.

At [livejournal.com profile] fhightimes. Newspaper crew, behind the scenes crew and TPTB, please check your invites. The rest of you, feel free to friend, and hopefully the Election issue will be published tomorrow.

Remember the newspaper is open for non-Journalism students as well, and if it's out of character for your character to volunteer, Chloe and Jake would be glad to hunt your character down and make them contribute.

Behind the scenes crew would be welcome as well (especially if you have mad graphic skillz).

ETA: Membership for the comm is limited to the newspaper crew, Jerusalem and the Dean at time being, as we will be using the comm for rough drafts and suchlike.

Just a heads-up on the "Shipping News" gossip clearances I/Beka have received for Homecoming.

Permissions list )

If your Homecoming partner isn't on this list, I've asked them. If I don't hear from them before I have to give Jake-mun the column, I'll stick to "was seen at the dance with". It's Beka's column, it's IC, so it's going to stick to what she knows or can imply, rather than being an OOC wrap of who did what with whom.
