I was just thinking, when this newspaper is up an running, think I would be able to read new editions out on my stream? Could be interesting. Or I could even record it and throw some old time news effect in.

I see no issue with reading out segments on your stream, he'll even ribbing the writers or articles a bit would fall squarely into the kind of immersive environment this endeavor is set out to foster.

The more community jabber we get back and forth on things relative to guns, the deeper the world can become on its own.

A quick update.. the first issue is now about 95% there.  Final editing and formating should be finished over the weekend.  It's in pdf format, the one uncertainty at the moment is how to distribute it.

We are still accepting for the first edition (but get them in today/tomorrow):
- Screenshots (anything that replaces our own efforts!)
- Short gossip snippets up to 50 words

There will be a letters feature in later editions, please send them to me or Lord Dick Tim by PM for the time being until we sort out an editorial email address.

We are now taking articles for the second issue, there's a half-column article in the first issue describing what we're looking for.  In response to a query, yes we will accept coursework articles and can stretch the word length limits by a couple of different means to accomodate that.  If you're interested in this, PM me directly with your ideas.
