Anyone wanna be a newshound?

Since there's a Kolchack: The Night Stalker comic book, someone should pick up Carl Kolchack.

There's also a new <strike>DC</strike> Marvel comic called Deadline which follows a Daily Bugle reporter by the name of Katherine "Kat" Farrell.

of course. I'm not typing proper at all today. sorry. Ever since Stan Lee started writing DC comics, nothing has been right in my head when it comes to comics.

So, we gonna get anwhere with this?

So far we have 3 news items in one week. And we're still waiting for some people to register usernames.

Cool - I've authorised Jimmy Olsen to post in the news forum.

Please authorize me so I can post in the newsroom.

My newshound name is Citizen Kane, otherwise I'm johnsemlak.

I tried to most some info on the Fiery Dragon site, but wasn't authorized.

I understand this is going slow. I hope you give us some time to get the hang of this. I know I surf the net enough and have enough interest for this. Once I get into a rythem of checking sites regularly (and being familiar with each site enough to understand what's 'new') I'll be cranking out news.

One suggestion--for D20 people like me, I suggest we split the d20 companies into three and all check only the ones we are assigned, so we don't end up tripping over each other.

Personally, I always check S&SS, Necromancer, Malhavoc, and Fiery Dragon. I could take these plus a few others.

According to the admin pages, Citizen Kane should work just fine. Could you try again?

Oh, not to worry! I just want to get up the momentum - once the ball is rolling, it should, hopefully, stay rolling!

Assuming the forum idea works out well, I'm strongly considering using this: http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/news/ -- EN World would then have TWO news pages, one populated by you guys and a more editorial style page done by me, drawing on info that you guys post.

But I'd like to get some momentum first.

Sorry

I should have seen that I was labeled a 'newshound' in my previous posting here. Yes, I can now post messages in the newsroom.

I've decided to withdraw my 'application' for this project. I apologize for the wasted time, but an increased amount of workload at canonfire.com, work on a D20 startup with a few colleagues, and, admittedly, some reservations I have about enworld (which I won't go into here, Morrus, you can email me if you want to know, but I'm not trying to start anything, it's really not that important) have led me to think I'm not the best volunteer for the job since I can't commit the time or interest right now to do it justice. Again, I apologize.

And btw, it has nothing to do with the the Lois Lane thing. Early bird gets the worm, no hard feelings there
