Re: The Scratch Chatter Writing Offices

Shall I write an article for the Welcoming Committee? I think it should be on the front page, as it's something new and official that's affecting Scratch.  smile

Yeah, that'd be great!  big_smile  You can go search around the site/wiki and interview people (or, once a reporter is working on the same story, have him/her help you). Also, try to find some possible downsides. I know it sounds negative, but that's what keeps articles interesting.

Also, if you want me to make any icons or whatever for the columns, just say so. I can make whatever art you need, provided there are no humans in it.  tongue

I have 2 stories actually, one about the 3-way war going on between Blu_Spy, LordCocaCola, and King Fanta and the other one would be for Astro's departure from Scratch forever.

Hmmm. This war seems pretty interesting. Why don't we make that one of the interest articles?

Re: The Scratch Chatter Writing Offices

Can I be the main writer and/or reporter for the advice column? BTW, who's Scratchy?

If I'm allowed to, I could get some FAQ in, and maybe start a thread for people to submit questions.

Check out my three latest projects!

Yeah, definitely! Scratchy is just a filler name. Do you think "Ask Scratchy" or "Ask HumHum" sounds better? It's your choice. You can definitely do the FAQ and thread. Just link back to the recruitment page, if you can.

Re: The Scratch Chatter Writing Offices

I think that the advice column should be Anonymous (as they usually are), so Ask HumHum is not a good choice.

Re: The Scratch Chatter Writing Offices

Then how about something better than ask Scratchy?  Scratch cat? Or maybe we could invent our own character. '-'

I have had an idea for an intrest story. What may be happening in Scratch 2.0?

If you think this is a good idea can I be the writer?

Well, it's your (HumHum's) choice. I do agree with GameGuy that a lot of newspapers are anonymous, but at the same time, it's important to maintain a semi-personal relationship with the readers. I think that a fictional character would work well. HumHum, you can choose the name. I thought Scratchy might work, due to the Scratch Cat, but I see where you're coming from. Just try to make it something easy to remember. Then, once you have a character, we could get an artist to draw him/her/it up!

I think it could make a good interest story. However, it is a big topic, which may make for a better cover story on the next edition. However, if you think you can handle it, go ahead!  smile

We don't have that category. You could change the idea a little to Scripting Success, or we could make a new category. What do you want to do?

Sorry, I was on a road trip yesterday. Everything is now updated.

Re: The Scratch Chatter Writing Offices

Check-in time!  big_smile  How's everyone doing on their articles? If anything is finished, post it in a project and put a link, and I'll be sure to review it. Also, when should the deadline be? Do you think you guys'll be ready in one week, or do you need two?
