I guess I should be thankful.

With your list Vyse, it's redundant to have state based writers, so I'm suggesting the following:

Information about upcoming Australian tournaments - should be written by the tournament host or writer in w/e state they are from

Roundups on tournaments that have transpired recently - ditto above

Information pertaining to the happenings of and about each state of Australia, smash-wise - anyone from w/e state they are from - they should just write away and submit it to us

Interviews with influential players and members of the community - someone step up and do this

Articles relating to important issues of and about the Smash games - someone step up and do this

World News - News pertaining to tournaments outside of our country - someone step up and do this

Random Character spotlight - And input from players that use said character - someone step and and do this

Random Player Spotlight - A random person on the emailing list could be chosen for a random interview - someone step up and do this

Along with what I've volunteered for, I can also do:

Articles relating to important issues of and about the Smash games

After that, if we don't get enough writers, I can do more.
Though, it sounds like we've got enough anyway.

Smash Gossip Corner lol.
I could totally see Mic getting the dirt on one of the mods or something :laugh:

Maybe we could have a smash/Nintendo trivia test with each issue?
Something to keep people amused.

Done.

Done.

Good thinking GORDS!

For now, I've got QLD's article done. It's much more of an overview with a little back history, but that's why this is monthly. I'll get to work on the next article soon.

I believe that S.D and Jei Jei have already expressed interest in writing.
S.D can do the influential player interviews, over the net as necessary.

Well one is with a well known member of the community.
The other is with a random member of the community.
Pretty clear cut if you ask me : /

I guess the idea is to give everyone a chance to be interviewed :)

when it comes to random character spot lights, is it going to be one character every month/issue cause if so that will last us 3yrs, more if you count Zelda/Shiek & Pokemon Trainer as seperate characters.

Nope, Trainer would actually be all 3 at once, because you don't have a choice but to use them all in a fight.

I can most likely do interviews of some variety, but as you say they will have to be via internet unless i catch someone at a tourney.

Sounds good. You and S.D need to sort out who does what. Maybe you can alternate each month?

I demand me and kas allowed an article space.
DEMAND?!?

Current writers need to get started then! I've already done my QLD article. If we're really going to do this, we need to pull together and get these articles done!

Okay, S.D seems like somebody who is probably better suited to interviewing your average joe, or rather, has the existing skill set to make it interesting >.<

Any and all articles that have not been submitted by tommorow will be chased up, and or replaced with brief articles I've written myself (Mostly the State writeups).

Idea:

"Who to watch out for spotlight/ Watch out for spotlight"

Basically a person with some skill and is fairly likely to become a decent/ semi-decent player in the future.
