The CB's News

The CB's News (Now hiring!)

(Spell out the second word in this post without the apostrophe and then say the third one.) 

Our news group would like writers and posters to create posts about the news on the CB (because there is a lot going on right now. Work is free and nonprofit (of course it is) and we have enough worries about impersonation and CBers feeling left out as it is, so anyone can join anytime.

Thank you. Bye.

I guess I forgot to formally request this but can I be "hired"?

I also had an idea for a section: new/returning CBers, where we do a short welcome for each new CBer.

You can self-promote a RP (as an advertisment). And, yes, you can join.

You may, but you have to be on NaNo. However, if you are unable to go on that, we are posting the challenges on the CB anyways so y'all can see them (I think).

Do you love winter?  Do you dream of a snowy wonderland?  Do you enjoy mysteries and ski lodges?  Then the new Wintertide Palace ski lodge is for you!  Much more than the ordinary ski lodge, those who join will be transported to an eerily beautiful world of snow and ice, partake in numerous fun and potentially deadly activities, attend a ball, and meet the realm’s mysterious queen…

Many spots are still available, so sign up now on the Pudding’s Place thread titled “*New Ski Lodge…” AEs are also welcome!

This is crazy!!!!!!!!!!!

We need orginization. So we will be doing something new. Here is how it works.

People can join these spaces(but they won't fill up, although every empty job, until it has at least 1 person, will have to be the job somebody joins.): 

Visual Art: photos and drawings for articles

Editors: Edit spelling and grammar on people's stories, and choose what stories get published in our thread. (I'm going to be one)

Story gatherers: Find stories for the CB's news, and suggest new columns for the thread.(please remember that your stories and suggestions might not make it in the final draft).

Research: Study posts and interview people to get details on news stories.

First draft writers: Write use those details to write a first draft of a story.

Finally, I decided to make it that there are only 2 adveritisments on each Weekly Publication.
