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?
