Join The Ankh-Morpork Times Production Team Today
I am rallying all fellow Thudders to give you the once-in-a-lifetime oppurtunity to Join Us at the 'Ankh-Morpork Times' Secret Media Forum for members only.
You may think:
Me a Journalist/Editor??? - There are many roles to be filled at the presses ranging from Article Writing and Iconography too Cabbage Researcher and Editor.
what if I dont have the time/energy??? - There are no deadlines or strict work hours to abide, you will be asked to do a task that you would like doing and you can spend as long as you need to complete it
What If Im not very good??? - We Will Take ANYONE, every person is welcome to help us so dont worry if you are not a good writer or can only get too a computer once a week, we have a relaxed atmosphere and we work with our teams schedules and needs not against them
Please, Please Join us, if you dont like it you can just leave, even people who can maybe only do a little bit each month can help us with the smaller articles like the "Criminal Of The Week" section and "Witches Recipes"
currently there is 4 of us and we are not struggling too much but with a large team we could develop a system and get a monthly paper running.
There is only one rules at the 'Ankh-Morpork Times' and that is...
There Are NO Rules!!!,
rule number 2 is no shoving,
So Please PM me and give me some idea of what you would like to do in the group and a bit of background info such as how often you can get too the computer as we will only give the big projects to people who can do more.

And I would say that bonus thudpoints are likely but ill ask lee alley when he is next online
Re: Join The Ankh-Morpork Newspaper Group NOW!!!
I realise you asked for PMs, but I imagine you would appreciate some discussion here, yesno?
I don't have much time at the moment, since I'm about to embark on Orientation Week at Melbourne University, but when I resurface I'll definitely consider this proposal. I take pride in not treating Punctuation like a game of, Pin the tail On the donkey, so perhaps I would be suited to an editing role of some sort.
Is it possible to see a sample of what's been contributed so far?
And is it possible to enlist the services of somebody who can contribute cartoons, if there isn't someone already?
EDIT: I don't mean to imply that I have a cartoonist in mind, I just think there ought to be one...
Re: Join The Ankh-Morpork Newspaper Group NOW!!!
Yes discussion on here is very welcome,
Time is not realy a problem as the first issue that we are doing at the moment has no deadline. It is more of a test to find a good system etc, you are more than welcome to help us and if grammar is your forte then im sure we can find something for you to do.
we hope to get lots of people each doing little jobs to put the whole thing together so no-one is overwhelmed.
cartoonists is an idea we have already considered, we have got many ideas presently but i would prefer not to release them over a 'public' forum for obvious reasons.
please PM me with a bit of background info about yourself so we find tasks that suit you best etc,
cheers for the responce

Re: Join The Ankh-Morpork Newspaper Group NOW!!!
...and yet again, after a long search, i have found the ancient topic of "ankh-morpork times"
If senor lipwig sees this can you tell me how things stopped???
It is a cool idea with magor potential, but how would it be done, P.M. service, email, forums, seperate setup???
HEX is pondering
I know, lets all jump of the white cliffs of Dover holding hands!
Re: Join The Ankh-Morpork Newspaper Group NOW!!!
its okay i still am doing this project but the interest was very little so doing it solo was difficult and i did stop for a long while but im still willing to take people on who want to help,
cheers
