Title: Articles
Post by: Death Gaara on April 19, 2012, 12:00:17 AM
What if you were to have a certain section where users could write articles? I just got done critiquing and building 2 lists for someone when the idea dawned on me. I really enjoy writing articles about single cards and taking peoples deck lists and adding to them. I also like bringing rouge ideas to the table. Maybe a section where people can write articles every week or so.

By all means. We could start with a separate Articles or Blogs section, which would be locked and only approved authors could post there. Do you have anything ready?

This could be interesting.  I sort of feel like "blogging" belongs on people's Private Pages, though.

I dont have anything ready, but I can get something ready if you will create the section. It wont take me too long, as I type like  zillion miles an hour.

EDIT: I should also mention, that I do have some ideas ready, I just need to type them up. Please let me know, as I would like to start writing there ASAP.

Prophylaxis -> ReConstructed
Death Gaara -> Standard (?)
BlackJester -> Combos

Seems like a good line up so far.

That looks ok, although I would also like to write SCD and talk other formats as well. But standard is a good place to start. I was thinking standard, and some Avacyn Restored SCD to start things off.

I supposed it doesn't need to be too restrictive. Just as long as readers have an idea what to expect.

I see, please let me know when you get the portion of the forum up and running. That way I can gain access to post their and write articles for the public.

Done.

Is it possible to create Individual threads inside the main thread? That way all of the writers can post on their thread so the content can stay separated and is easy to find based on the writer(s) you follow?

We'll worry about that when we actually have some content.
