The Menewshan Minute

Skilled with a pen?
Interested in digging up the dirt around Mene?

Then we've got the job for you! Menewsha has its very own tabloid!

Who can keep all the gossip straight anymore? We need a site-run publication that can keep you guys updated on all the hottest stuff going on around the island.

- Write an article about the latest happenings on Mene -
- If you get chosen, see your work published in our tabloid -
- Get paid big moolah for all your hard work -

Knerd 12-07-2013 12:04 AM

- All written pieces should be between 250-350 words. This is a tabloid, after all! Short and sweet should do the trick.
- Be sure to include a title for your column!
- All "photographs" should be original artwork that you created. How you choose to create this artwork is entirely up to you: Some people may decide that they want to draw their favorite NPCs visiting shops around town, others may choose to edit their friends' avatars into embarrassing real life situations. Remember that this is a tabloid and use your imagination!
- Please follow all of Menewsha's rules regarding plagiarism.
- All submissions must be PMed to Knerd, not posted within this thread.
- You can submit up to three things (written pieces or artwork) for any edition of the tabloid.



All submissions are due no later than April 1st.

(Don't have time to submit anything right now? S'all good, Mene's tabloid will be running multiple editions, so you'll have lots of opportunities to submit your writing and artwork again in the future.)

Figuring out exactly what to write your column about can be a tough decision, but don't worry. We're here to narrow your focus and give you some ideas. For the next edition of the tabloid, please choose one of the following topics to write about:
---> Your favorite Mene-related memory from this past year
---> The most popular avatar fashion trends and what's "in season" right now
---> The best thread on Mene and what makes it so awesome
---> The biggest "OMG!" moment you've ever experienced on the site.
This tabloid will be representing all the juicy gossip around Mene, both in terms of NPCs and the user base. Make up silly stories, report on actual events around the site and even break the fourth wall if you wish. The goofier and more eye-catching, the better!

That's okay! There are other options as well:
---> Need advice? Write a short letter to our ~Mystery Columnist~ and ask for their help
---> Place an ad in our classified section for items, art, babies, or anything else you might be looking to sell.
---> Submit your "photographs" of memorable events around the website. Tabloids need pictures too, so show off your artwork by illustrating the site's top stories!

Alexander J Luthor 12-08-2013 11:19 AM

And it's official, I MUST DO THIS! -and not because I was watching The Hobbit commercials on Hulu when it suddenly switched to a trailer for Struck by Lightning the second I clicked this page- [ninja] No seriously, the minute I started reading about this event, a trailer about kids who write a gossip article in their school because their writers club is treated like crap, started playing in the background.... I love serendipity!

SuperZombiePotatoe 12-08-2013 11:36 AM

I am so going to give this a go. -runs to find thinking cap-

BellyButton 12-08-2013 08:18 PM

Shadami 12-09-2013 01:24 PM

Knerd 12-09-2013 03:42 PM

Shadami 12-09-2013 06:54 PM

Cora 12-09-2013 07:39 PM

Did you have a question Sha?

Knerd 12-09-2013 07:51 PM

Sure, feel free to post your questions here or PM them. It all depends on how secretive you personally feel like being. [;)]

Shadami 12-09-2013 08:48 PM

Well... are allowed to make up something more than the suggested things?
like say.... I saw some of the moderators go into a coffee shop that had the initials E.V.I.L. :O

Knerd 12-09-2013 11:47 PM

Sure! Tabloids are all about digging up the dirt on people, so if you happen to spy a particularly WTF?!? event around Mene (even if it only happened in your head), then be sure to tell us about it! [ninja]

The "What to Write" sections is more like a general guide of what we plan on including in the tabloid. If you happen to think of something different or exciting, but it still suits the general theme of a Mene gossip rag, feel free to submit it.

Nephila 12-10-2013 04:25 AM

Do the "photographs" Have to be a certain size?

RoadToGallifrey 12-10-2013 06:29 AM

Ooh, sounds fun c:

Is artwork to accompany a story mandatory?
