2008-04-14 [Eleanor]: I would love to help with the ezine, proofreading, etc.

2008-04-14 [Ash]: Good, your hired! There are no benefits, wages or insurance and you have to provide your own cubical! Welcome to the team!

2008-04-15 [Veltzeh]: Looking good! :) The game page cuts at the bottom, though...

2008-04-15 [Ash]: Really? Oh darn it! I'll put it up here then, thanks for letting me know!

2008-05-03 [Ash]: going to look for writings! if you want to submit, let the page know by commenting!

2008-05-03 [Veltzeh]: Mine? X)

2008-05-04 [Ash]: Well, just give us a link, we currently need two short stories and four or five poems.

2008-05-04 [Veltzeh]: Oh, dang. I don't do any of those...

2008-05-04 [Ash]: Really? Maybe you should try.

2008-05-05 [Veltzeh]: Well, I dislike poetry (I could maybe write some in Finnish, though, I have a language barrier issue here) and my short stories always grow beyond their limits... XD

2008-05-06 [Ash]: Well, we can resize, maybe we could put a page of it up and supply the link?

2008-05-06 [Veltzeh]: ...Embarrassing, but I managed to giftedly forget that none of my publish-worthy stuff is actually finished. >_>

2008-05-07 [Ash]: </-_-\> Well, get it finished!

2008-05-07 [Veltzeh]: How? XD

2008-05-08 [Ash]: Um... I don't now, I usually type. You can use telekinesis if you have it!

2008-05-08 [Veltzeh]: Dang, I don't have that. Finishing stories is hard. Maybe there could be an article about that? :o

2008-05-09 [Ash]: Do you want to write it? You can make it comedic if you want.

2008-05-09 [Veltzeh]: Well, I think I should have been able to finish at least one story to make a useful article... then again, if it could be comedic, I could write "what NOT to do". I might be good at that. XD Would you like something like that?

2008-05-10 [Ash]: Yeah, what ever you want, it the writersco mag not just mine.

2008-05-10 [Veltzeh]: Uh? I missed the meaning there...

2008-05-10 [Ash]: It's not what I like, it whatever you want to put in there.

2008-05-10 [Veltzeh]: "it whatever"? "it the"?

2008-05-11 [Ash]: ? So what, I type to fast?

2008-05-11 [Veltzeh]: Maybe? The problem is that I don't understand what you mean... My typo unencoding abilities break down at points. X)

2008-05-13 [Ash]: Well, i m officially confused... oh well.

2008-05-15 [Ash]: Yeah, I got it up!

2008-05-19 [Font]: Looks great this month!

2008-05-20 [Ash]: Thanks, I think most of it goes to nightshadow, with out her cover, it wouldn't have made such an amazing issue.

2008-06-10 [dmeredith]: Do you think we have enough material to do an issue every month? Should we make this bi-monthly?

2008-06-10 [Annie]: Isn't bi-monthly twice a month?

2008-06-10 [dmeredith]: Maybe... 6 issues a year then, every other month...If not bi-monthly, how do you say that?

2008-06-10 [Calann]: Erm, according to Dictionary.com, bi-monthly is every two months. Twice a month would be semimonthly.

2008-06-10 [Annie]: Haha ok...I always wondered about that.

2008-06-10 [Ash]: I think we do have enough material, it's just getting people to give it. That's the hard part is going around getting the stuff.

2008-06-20 [Kuzco]: Where there's a will, there's a way. The initiative was there, now for the second hardest part: the follow through ;)

2008-06-20 [Ash]: Yep, which is why I go around pestering people.

2008-06-20 [Calann]: If I started submitting stuff, I wouldn't know when to stop :P
Okay, I would. But you'd get plenty to pick from.

2008-06-21 [Ash]: Well, why don't you let me just go through and pick something out, would that be okay?

2008-06-21 [Calann]: By all means :3

2008-06-21 [Ash]: Thank you, I'll leave on comment on the one I picked.

2008-06-26 [Ash]: ONE DAY LEFT TO VOTE!

2008-06-28 [Ash]: Come on people vote!

2008-07-01 [Annie]: It's beautiful!!

2008-07-02 [Ash]: Thank Aureus Moonrise for that!

2008-07-02 [dmeredith]: Looks good!

2008-07-02 [Ash]: Thanks dmeredith!

2008-09-06 [Calann]: You really should fix that banner <_<

2008-09-07 [Ash]: I should, didn't even notice... EDIT: All fixed, there you are, thank you for noticing.

2008-09-07 [Calann]: *is the local nitpicker*

2008-09-07 [Ash]: That's good, I spell check but paint doesn't have spell check.

2008-10-03 [Ash]: I think we should run it bi-monthly. Let's get into that then.

2008-10-19 [AuroraLumos]: I'M SOOOOOOO SORRY :( I feel so annoyed and irritated >.< been having a load of problems at home and I haven't been able online at all :( sorry about the ezine cover
Forgive me? (the cover is way better than mine anyway... so it's all for the best really. sorry again!!)

2008-10-19 [Ash]: It's alright, you all apologize too much too. :P

2008-12-22 [AuroraLumos]: true XD

2008-12-23 [Ash]: :P

2010-12-06 [Annie]: By "be for children 7-13" you mean be suitable for children this young, correct? Like no profanity..etc.?

2010-12-06 [Ash]: Yes, no profanity, explicit writings or pictures. We can never know the true age of the readers so we have to keep it kid friendly.

2010-12-06 [Veltzeh]: "For children" and "suitable for children" can be two completely different things, however. If I write about the choices of narrative perspective in very technical terms, it's very likely not profane or explicit, but most children would definitely not understand a thing about it and therefore it's not "for children".
Er, anyway, is the point to write stuff specifically FOR children or not? Because if it isn't, the guidelines are extremely misleading. X)

2010-12-06 [Ash]: Stop nit-picking Veltzeh. I'll go and change the wording.

2010-12-07 [Veltzeh]: I can't participate if I don't know what is wanted. :(

I can also stop nitpicking, but that means that I most likely won't participate at all. I have no problems being left out if that's what you wish, though.

2010-12-07 [Ash]: Well, people don't like being corrected all the time. You can participate in the EZine, but not as an editor.

2010-12-07 [Veltzeh]: Oh... What is an editor? How does it compare to other jobs for the ezine?

2010-12-08 [Ash]: Well, there is no editor currently. I arrange what is given to me and there are no other jobs at the moment. For the EZine you can submit something above right now. We don't really need a staff as there are five-seven active members.

2011-08-04 [Calliope]: What's the status on this? Does anybody know? If we pump it full of articles can we release it and get something updated on the mainpage?

2011-08-04 [Veltzeh]: No clue... :o

2011-08-04 [Calliope]: *Pokes [Ash]* Come back on!

2011-08-07 [Annie]: Ash hasn't been on in awhile...I think she got a job and that's kind of taken a lot of her free time away. But here's what I suggest: if you want to write something for this, go ahead and do so, post it to your writings, and then leave a link to the writings page here. Encourage others to do so, and once we have enough, we'll either prod someone to do it, I can do it, or perhaps Ash will be back to do it herself. :) I'm sure we can work something out if we just have the material.

2011-08-08 [Calliope]: Sounds like a plan to me! I had a series in mind so I'll just upload the first bit so people can't get ahead of themselves! I'll start asking around if people have stuff they'd like to submit as well and send them this direction!

2011-08-11 [Annie]: Great!

2011-08-22 [Ash]: I am back, sorry, we've been having kind of a hard time over where I'm at. I'll be on more I promise! I do think we need more monthly series, we had one when we ran it before the big site switch over. I have several FF that can serve as monthlies as well. I'm redoing most of my series that are original.

I am back though, toss whatever you want my way and I'll get to work!

2011-08-22 [Calliope]: Yay! I'll take that as a prod xD I'll try and get some going and uploaded before I start travelling back home. I'll probably fall into a blackhole of no internet during that time :/

2011-08-30 [Ash]: Oh goody! *rolls eyes* Even if you have no internet, you can still type. I'd rather you write something that interests you than to have you feel rushed about it. I've found the more interest you have in something the better you write. :)

2011-08-30 [Stephen]: Questions. :3

What are you most interested in being submitted here, and how does the submission process work?

2011-08-31 [Calliope]: This is true. I just tend to keep my interesting stories in verbal form is all. I tend to need a deadline to actually write them down xD Procrastination could be my name!

2011-08-31 [Annie]: I wouldn't mind doing a little book review for the editorial section. I read a nice little handful of books this summer I wouldn't mind ranting or raving about, in a critical, helpful way of course. ;)

2011-09-11 [Ash]: Stephen, please submit anything that is written, Hell, maybe even a drawing that was inspired by a book. In the past we have had stories, poems, short stories, editorials, reviews and even advertisements for things on WC.

2011-09-11 [Ash]: How about since it's going kind of slowly our first comes out for the Holiday issue, mid Decemeber? Does Decemeber 15th sound like a good submission date for our first NEW E-Zine?

2011-09-11 [Annie]: Sounds good to me. :)

2011-09-11 [Ash]: SUBMISSION: To submit, email or pm all submissions to me :) Please do your OWN EDITING!

2011-09-13 [Calliope]: Roger, roger! I'll sharpen my quill!

2011-09-24 [Ash]: PLEASE NOTE: my laptop is dead, even with a charger, it only works for five minutes at a time. As soon as the my bf gets a new one, I'll get one and be back on, though I might hoard my check just to get a refurbished one.

POINT: I cannot be on often. :(

2011-11-10 [Calann]: *adds page to permanent bookmarks* Otherwise I'll forget the whole thing...
