Well I'm back from Creighton, and I'd have to say I'm rather impressed. And they really know how to bribe you. I got a bunch of books and a job offer. Doesn't hurt that their comp sci department was trying to get rid of old books and that their it department is always in need of employees. And the creative writing proffesor was fun to talk with.

Well I would just like to make it known that anybody who thinks I'm going to take charge is sadly mistaken. I will accept any increase in pay however.

I think a joint effort will be best, but we will still need someone with minimal experience to take care of updating the draft. It'll have to be transfered to their journal also. They would need to know how to make the basic layout and how to place the banners and all that kind of stuff.
We could do it. 3nodding Maybe, if she has time, Alice could teach someone or something. Can't be too hard... right? neutral

I'd be willing to take charge, since the school-year is ending in two more classes.
I just have to concentrate this week on finals. However, since I'm rather new at the 'zine, I'd probably need a considerable amount of assistance. 3nodding

Glad to see that everyone's on the same page, hehe! I'll get started on typing up the drafts and templates for you guys to use. Should I start a new thread to post everything that we'll be needing? For example, the template for the next issue, the contest guidelines, the submission thread guidelines, etc.

^ Zacharra? Did you volunteer to host the draft? If so, go ahead and copy paste it into your journal. Simply hit 'Quote' and it'll give you the coding for the draft. PM me if you have any questions, and refer to the old drafts if you want!

Serieve, did you want to take charge of the contest?
Kraeela? Did you want to run the submissions thread at the forum?
Jahoclave, you can float back and forth and help 'em out as you always do. Slacker, hehe. (Just kidding! I figured you'd be busy with the poli-project as well...)
Everyone else we still need to brainstorm a new structure for the draft. This will make Zach's job somewhat easier, yes?
Finally, is there anything else I forgot? I'm sure you guys will let me know, hehe. Thanks!
