New Micronational Newspaper

[Zirandorthel]

The Apollo FurballAn idea came to me last night for this paper, and now I've made it. Hopefully this trend will continue, with me making the paper, I mean. Enjoy please, and any suggestions are welcome. Contact me at AIM: eoindornan. Sun Bless, Earth KeepZirandorthel I of TreesiaThe Golden DarknessNiirus Tinenetuwar, Tivitha e'Taras

I approve of this in SO many ways...If you want any of the HTML code from the Fireball/Skyline or there's anything else with which I can help you, don't hesitate to ask.

[Zirandorthel]

I won't hesitate, believe me. I want it to look nifty, just like the Skyline. I wanted to get one out today, or else I would have gone into a little self-education to get the code right. EDIT: It appeared I was refusing help there, a very odd thing for me to do.

I think part of the reason many papers fail is because it is usually one person trying to cover many nations at once...and that's kinda hard to do...i have enough trouble keeping shireroth in line, and its the only nation of which i am a regular. -Gryphon Avocatio- Lord Governor and Duke of all Yardistan - Minister of Research and Education, Shireroth - Shirerothian Elder - SAVE THE KIWI!! - Lover of Llamas Give me your child, and by the age of five, I can make him a priest or a thief or a scholar. - SCOTT: You know, I always joke about how nothing will ever be able to get me out of micronations...but...I think if my mother got into micronations that would get me out in a hurry. - GUILDENSTERN:We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.

Uhuh, you're telling me. I was too lazy to do a real Hanoverian story, and Tom Cutterham e-mailed me and basically tore my head off, even though I still don't see his Parliamentary forum. To make it up to him, I now have to read an eight-page thread about some alliance with Pendronia. Oh well, c'est la vie du journalisme, as they say in Mali.

I can write you the Hanover-Pendronia story if you'd like when I return home tomorrow. I also have, suspiciously enough, a story on the Bastan Islands I can send. "I am a verb" - Buckminster Fuller

This should be interesting. When is this out and where is my black book/RW-CD?

[Zirandorthel]

Well, I already have a Hano-Pendronia story written, but I suppose waiting a few days will do no harm, as I've only scratchings of other stories. That'd be grand, thanks Scott. Sun Bless, Earth KeepZirandorthel I of TreesiaThe Golden DarknessNiirus Tinenetuwar, Tivitha e'Taras

"...basically tore my head off" - Ha!I agree that it's difficult for one person to cover multiple nations with detailed and accurate stories (like I tried to do in CITIZEN, which lasted a measly couple of months). But by employing other people, the quality and artistic vision (because yes, micronational newspapers are artistic!) can be compromised. You just can't get the staff these days.
