@phatima1

We are officially putting Crescent_'s idea of a GupShup Newspaper into effect. I am his assistant.

We seem to have a handleful of people who are willing to contribute articles and stuff. Basically, what we’ll do is we will use this thread for people to tell us if they want to write an article or do a section and then once Crescent or me approves, you can go ahead and write your part and then email it or PM it to one of us by a certain date (we haven’t set any specific deadlines as of now).

There is no limit to the amount of participation we can get for this because in the end, we will put up all the articles on a site, designed by Crescent_ himself, as a virtual Newspaper!

Criteria for article topics:

• The topic MUST relate to GupShup
• The forum rules apply to the articles
• No plagiarism
• Make sure your topic is approved by Crescent_ (or me)

Here are some possible topics/ideas:

• Gossip Column (this must be written very carefully because you have to make sure that you do not insult/offend/embarass anyone. The best way to do this would be to ask the people you are writing for permission if it is okay for you to do so.)
• Jokes Section (jokes about guppies. Again, make sure you don’t hurt anyone’s feelings! =o)
• Political Cartoons (perhaps about the Mods/Admins. You should ask the Mods/Admins you want to make a cartoon of for their permission before doing so. Ofcourse, none of this should be taken seriously.)
• Interview of a Guppy (An actual interview where you go back and forth and kind of hold a conversation focusing on the guppy. Ask good questions, get interesting answers.)
• Poll (Maybe the Mods could put together a poll and then we can put the results in the Newspaper.)
• What’s Hot in the Forums (Someone could write about what the most popular topics on GupShup are recently.)
• Memoirs from an Old Guppy (We can get one or several of the ‘older’ guppies who have been on GupShup since back in the day to write memoirs telling us about how GupShup has changed, good + bad.)

If you’d like to participate (which we really would encourage you to do) please post in this thread the topic (be specific) of your article, and once Crescent_ or I approve, you can write it and send it to us as soon as possible. Also, please provide a photo with your article IF POSSIBLE (screenshots, for example get creative).

good thing

Re: GupShup Newspaper

Aw cool, its in effect!

You can all send in the articles to Phatima1, or if her inbox is full than me. She is really the chief editor so She'll be taking a look at them before posting them on. I'm more of the assistant 8-)

since neither of you can seem to agree on who’s the chief editor/assitant, may i volunteer as a chief editor then :whistling

Re: GupShup Newspaper

Will there be a comic section?

Re: GupShup Newspaper

Just a suggestion 4 Phati:

Phati, to avoid what happened during Cafe Election, this is just a suggestion. You can ignore it if you don’t like it. You & Crescent can choose one person for each section of the newspaper rather than choosing multiple. This way, there won’t be any arguments etc among those people (that you chose for same section). The person you choose for each section will be responsible for their section. If they see fit, they may choose maybe 1-3 people as assistants to help out with their own section. Together with their team, they can work on their own section and submit it at the end to you/crescent. The responsibility for each section will be on the shoulders of the person you choose :k:

@Orpheus

can you draw stick figures

Amorphous - It’s just too bad you didn’t contact me then. I would have put your name in lights.

James_Bhaand - Yea and also please update us on all the silly stories about your kids. And also stuff about your cuutte pets. We will call your column the Cuddly Corner hehe just a suggestion

Crescent_ - oyeee saara kaam muj per daal diyaaa lol jk pal
Rukhsarbibi - You don’t have to be an AMAZING writer it’s not like we’re gonna cut your article silly Give it a shot

HHL - That’s a good idea, and Crescent_ and I were discussing the same thing earlier. We were going to have department heads, but the problem with that is that we don’t have enough people that are willing to take on that responsibility. Also, I’m afraid that if we seperate it all out, then we may have more problems with people not being able to get in contact with this person orrr articles not being properly reviewed and stuff like that. This is just the first issue, but inshaAllah we’ll be able to set up deparment heads in the future. Thanks for the idea. :k:

@Khumar

can you draw stick figures

stick figures di kuj lag di!

Cartoons means FULL vibrantly colored pictures with huge speech bubbles. And they better be funny.

come onnnnnn guyssss! let’s do some brainstorming!

I’m thinking like…a regular column…each issue, the writer presents a question like “what is your fav. thing about GS?” “what should James Uncle name his future parrot-babies (not HIS, but his pet parrot’s parrot-babies..you know what I mean)?” and then go around and ask about 20 people for a short answer. Then, choose the best 10 answers to the question and post them and say who said them. (It’s really not that complicated. I just suck at explaining)
