Yeah true. I should have one of those anyway. Good idea Chiceh.
Thanks gurl.

Lacy

Lacy set yourself up a new email either hotmail or gmail (they are free), not using you real name. Just a thought, lol.

I hope everything's still sweet on this. I've written two of the articles, the introduction piece and the horoscopes. Just need to do the advanced piece and I'm sorted.

So................... BUMP!

 

[HotNSexyMILF]

I'll be working on my pieces today and tmrw. The short articles that weren't taken will prolly have to be hammered out by us skunk. If anyone else wants to help on the small articles that really don't take research let me know. It's all good, we'll have everything done on time. =)

 

[Lacy]

I'm working on mine also.

Yes, no problem on the little articles. I have frontpage now so can edit things adequately.

The format is something we'll all need to discuss and agree on very quickly. I believe the best idea as far as colour would be to follow the colours here at riu... maybe this is just easier, but the format is just as important as the content. If it isn't easy on the eye, people won't read it.

 

[dankforall]

I'm still in. The riu colors are fine with me!

 

[Lacy]

Colours and format is up to you since you are the editor.
I'm not too fussy. Roll it up colours seems appropriate.
I agree with easy on the eyes 100 %. I also think the typo should be a bit better than this here below vvv
as some people don't have 20/20 vision. Maybe?

I have all my research done and am almost finished my rough copy BUT then I have to type it all out.

I am a bit confused as to how this is working out. If skunk is editing, wouldn't it make more sense to sent it to him first and then to Hot&Sexy?

Just wondering.

RIU colors is the def. way to go.

 

[Lacy]

Yes. That makes sense.

Do you want this in English - english, American - english or Canadian - english or should I even be concerned about that since you are editing?

You're silly Lacy. LOL.. you should know I won't be doing much editing unless it needs to be shortened. Just spelling errors and crap for the most part. Don't worry about it. This should be very relaxed.. LOL.. cmon.. it's a newsletter for STONERS. LOL.. I won't be shocked if we publish the word dude religiously.. LOL

 

[skunkushybrid]

Deadline day today folks. I need to write up the advanced piece still...

I think the spelling should be American, this is an American dominated site... there are some english words that you guys don't even use, like whinge.

Did you donate any pic's?

I think the one where you're wearing the tin foil hat and looking out from behind the pick up (?) would be great... that pic still makes me laugh now.

 

[Lacy]

Well of course I am silly. glad you noticed.

Yeah 'dude' is in mine for sure






And yes skunk I know the deadline is today I busting my butt here trying to get it finished on time.

[Lacy]

But on a more serious note Hot&Sexy, with all the different writers we have here I think the format should have some consistency to it.

You and Dank I believe are Americans.
Chiceh and I are Canadians and I believe Skunk is English so we could literally have 3 different spellings for the same word.

I was also thinking the newsletter should be written in American English since it is an Amercian based site and most of its members are Amercian.

I agree that we are all stoners and it should have a 'laid back' presentation to it, but I just don't want to add to the sterotyped image of how a stoner is portrayed.
We can be stoners but also be professional about how we present this.

Just my 2 cents

[skunkushybrid]

Hey milf any chance you can log into msn today, i'll send you what I got so far.

 

[dankforall]

Mine does not have dude in it, it is more dry and serious. Again i have no problem if it gets scrapped it wont hurt my feelings.

 

[Chiceh]

Well it looks as if everything is covered, I guess you don't need my help then eh? Let me know if you do want some help and I could lend a hand if possible.
