Domo Backpack ate my head....
Crazy adventures in this world we call, GAIA.
Some Pointers on Newspaper Creating....
Hmm how many times did I take breaks!?
I'm sitll a zombie because I have never once step foot into my Inventory! HA HA HA HA! sweatdrop *strokes her pasty hand* Anyways, I'm unhidden now and moderating at moderate (lol) times...I'm not staying on the entire day like I use to.

About The GAIA Times
I'm aware of a lot of people showing interests in making a newspaper either informative or tabloid. Please think of this before you start making this:

Do you have the passion for information?
Do you have the time to commit to the community?
Do you have organizational skills? (lol)
What makes it worth publishing?;

Those are some tips I remembered my Journalist Teacher tell me a long while back...lol. If you don't have a passion for it..don't be a Journalist. If you just want a name for yourself, don't bother making a newspaper...it will likely fail. I have seen newspaper on GAIA start and never continue...some say that they want a name for myself. Others do it to give competition with The GAIA Times, but none of them lasted? Reason for that: I believe they don't have the love for information...it just dies out. As for the name creation proccess...think long and hard..something catchy. Good luck!

1. yes, I always lurk the q&f and the EF, and have recently started posting more and sharing my thoughts
2. being a lurker I notice a few things about what goes on
3. probably not good enough gonk
4. a lot of times when I make things up on the spot and tell people about it there like to hear it but sometimes I can be annoying sweatdrop

my tabloid idea is something I've been thinking about for a while now, it's not just something I came up with on the spot for attention, I plan on taking pics at cons and using them in my "stories" and writing some with out the pics I take, most my stories will be about something that people will know about, I'm still planning it out and trying to cover all my bases. a few things I'm still stuck on is when to start it, weather I should make it into my journal or in a thread, where to put that thread, and I'm worried about offending people I wouldn't mind getting a little advise from someone who's done something simualr before
