Yes, lovely members of YWS, it is that time again! I'm going to be putting together the May issue of squills. I have no deadline for this yet, but the sooner you get the articles to me the happier you make me.

There isn't much of a guide to what you write or how you write it. I cannot guarantee that if you write an article it will be in squills, but that doesn't mean you should enter!

I have no other ideas at the moment! But if you have any ideas, feel free to share them. But, if you have an idea, I will generally prod you to be the one to write it. ^^ Please PM me any articles with the subject "Squills". Thank you!

Would it be alrgith if I wrote another one, even though my article was published in the April edition?

I want to interview JC.

I'm pretty sure that's okay, Choco -- I mean, I've had an article in this one and the preceding one. (Then again, I contacted Nate about making PotM a regular thing, so... yeah.)

But you should be okay. :)

Oh course, Choco! You can write articles as often as you want. You could write two or more, even, for the same issue!

I was wondering if we can submit something for squills that we had already written long ago and it has been posted on YWS. Because I think sent you one. If we can't, then I'm sorry for sending it to you. Ignore it please.

I'll try and write something new for Squills.

I don't think I've received anything yet, but it is a great question Mizz Iceberg. It's fine if you send old articles, but I would appreciate it much, much more if you wrote a brand new article for Squills, that way it has never been seen before.

I have only received a handful of articles for this months squills. Please, if you would like to see another issue come out, then write for it. Squills is not something that just happens, and we [u]need[/i] members to write articles for it, or it will not be put out.

You can write about nearly anything, and an article of 500 to 1,000 words does not take much time to write. Please, I would appreciate it if more articles were sent in!!

I have an idea running around in my head...

When do I need to submit it by? I will try to write it tomorrow, but I'll want to edit it a lot.

Also, I may not be able to write about it long enough... :lol:

Bug me through PMs if I forget, please.

I believe the due date for all articles was something like the 5th of May but I don't entirely know if this issue will make it...

Well there you go! ^_^ Thanks, Nate. My brain has been a bit lost among scholarship essays and state testing, haha.

Then I should be able to get something written, even if I don't go with my original plan. I'll start typing soon!

We're getting close to this deadline, and I don't have very many articles!


Hurry and write something, before I start attacking random people in chat. :D

*Poke*

I have one half-done, I should be able to finish it in time. It's just a writing tip, and I don't know if it's good enough, but it's something.

I outlined an article on 'No time to write?' in the knowledge base. Would that be allowed?
