    I hate to back out on this but I just got a new job (and by "just" I mean today) so I don't have the time to write like I thought I would :/

    =\, that's alright though. Lot's of people are interested in helping.

    Might get a hold of Katje, she said she was willing to help out...

    Also, my story is done, but I'm waiting for someone to proof read through it.

    Check your PM. Also, just an FYI, I am not concerned with PERFECT articles. IMO that was one of the issues with uTimes, they expected wayyyy too much from people who were volunteering. I will do quick edits to fix major errors that I see, I will not however spend hours on articles to catch every single mistake As long as the readers will understand it I am satisfied.

    That's fine, but when I write up articles I have a tendency to write things that sound perfectly fine to me, but in all reality don't make any sense, or least, very little sense lol

    And after saying that, I turned Palem's article into something that resembles Larry Sellers social studies homework from The Big Lebowski, lol. Palem keep in mind when you get this email you can tell me to F off and just go with your original! :P

    Apparently the 2 kingdoms I spoke with about getting their news and commentary are not so forthcoming.

    oh well.. I'll rummage up something else, eventually.

    Too bad I can't report on our wars, because it would be considered biased, but, Palem, I might toss you the news and some transcripts assuming we can get a war.
    I'm aspiring to conspire.

    I don't have the desire to write articles, but if anyone does need an editor/proofreader, let me know and I can handle that part. Also, I honestly think that articles should be posted as they are finished. There really isn't a lot of reason to wait until the news is old to run a story (If a newspaper just today decided to run a story on Osama Bin Laden being killed, it would seem a bit foolish)

    I think (most of) the readers on these forums are big boys and girls and can handle reading a couple of articles a day

    @ Nobody - You can do that. The only thing I was working on was my story for tomorrow.

    @ LL - I just finished my article today, and there's no way it was being posted without a good proof reading lol. Nobody's going to give it a look over as well and then I'll be posting the article when I wake up tomorrow. There isn't too much delay.

    Also, the reason it would seem foolish for a newspaper to run a story on Bin Laden being killed is because people have already gotten that news. People haven't gotten the news we're delivering lol (other than the people involved...)
