Ivar

I'm going to try to submit something for the contest if I have time.  I have a decent idea for it, but I think the CBG Guide article that I want to write will take precedence.

Ivar

Ok, I've got the rough draft of my article done.  Who do I send it to?  Ishmael?  

Do you guys edit it and revise it, or can i post it for review?

Call me Ishmayl.

And you can send me the rough draft, but we actually prefer you to do revisions, or find someone to help you with it, and then we'll do a bit of editing afterwards.

For finite types, like human beings, getting the mind around the concept of infinity is tough going.  Apparently, the same is true for cows.

Ivar

Sorry, I didn't mean to confuse you with a half-ton silverback gorilla.

I'll do some proofing, etc. and send it over tomorrow.

Ishmayl-Retired

oh, if it's that Ishmael you were confusing me with, then I forgive you anyway.

I want to let everyone know we've received our first Issue 8 article, called "Encounters on the High Seas," from Ivar, who has just jumped right in here at the CBG.  I look forward to reading the other articles coming this way.

So far, only Ivar has submitted; I would just like to know if anyone else will be submitting, since so many people seemed interested at first! :)  It's looking to be a very promising issue if people get involved.

I'll have an interview to submit before the end of the month. Not sure what issue it will be in, but it's coming!

"Then shall the last battle be gathered on the fields of Valinor. In that day Tulkas shall strive with Melko, and on his right shall stand Fionwe and on his left Turin Turambar, son of Hurin, Conqueror of Fate; and it shall be the black sword of Turin that deals unto Melko his death and final end; and so shall the Children of Hurin and all men be avenged." - J.R.R.

I just wanted to say that the next issue (Summer 2008) of Fantaseum: The Journal of the Creative Community Alliance will feature the Seafaring theme we original planned for the next issue of the Guide, so if any of you cats have any oceanic adventures, sea-dwelling races, or undersea shrines you've been holding onto, now's the time to get them out there?  Don't make me start calling in favors! ;)

This new mag, are you looking for articles or is it a collection of creative works?

Yes!  Articles are ALWAYS welcome!  It will have some elements of a collection of various things from each of the sites, but please write articles if you can. :)  What do you have in mind?

Hmm, seems time to repost this from earlier in the thread...

Quote from: Poseidon*GULP* Mmmmmmmeeee? Article(s)? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I read, me not write. Me write poorly. Me no no good enlgish. *hides under a rock at the bottom of the ocean*

*sends message in a bottle to surface*

[spoiler=Bottle]
Quote from: messageI have hidden myself away do not come looking for me. I have sent this message back to the surface world to give a few ideas for articles.

Ideas:
Encounters on the High Sea - Making ship travel more than an instant trip from city A to city B.
World Design: What part does the world's ocean play?
Creatures of the Deep - A new ocean going monster.
Book Review: Stormwrack

I'm sure more ideas will pop into my head (they always do). I will "*try*" to do at least one of these ideas. (Either 1 or 2 because they are very similar). I would encourage any one that thinks they can write any of these articles to do so. I am in a writing rut right now (as anyone that has read my last thread can see), so I will try, but cannot promise, to write an article for a seafaring guide.


If you use Ivar's article you, then you already have suggestion number 1.

Yeah, and we have #3 as well.  Salacious Angel originally mentioned doing a deepwater fey of some sort, maybe he'll show up with that as well.

Yah-huh.  'cept I sold my d20 books (gaspness!) as a symbolic refusal to write any crunch.  Which basically means... no crunch.
