Feedback On Squills/Volunteer?

Feedback time, lovelies! If you read the recently posted Squills, please let Squills staff know:

1. What did you like?

2. Anything you didn't like?

3. Anything to include next time?

Please be specific as possible when answering!

Also, is anyone interested in helping out? If so, say here and I will PM you! We shall discuss positions and such from there, and if you are very interested, we'll be glad to happily add you into the family.

Here to give my hopefully-helpful feedback on Squills!

I'd just like to quickly add it look brilliant, so thank you to all the staff involved!

1. What did you like?
I liked how stories were reported across the whole of YWS, and by that I mean it covered loads of different aspects of what's gone on this week. The interviews were also really cool, especially with getting feedback on gift day, and I though mentioning what all the new members are up to was really cool too.

2. Anything you didn't like?
I'm not quite sure how this could be changed, but the fact that it's all on one page is a bit of a bother and there's so much scrolling to be done it makes it slightly annoying, that is more of a minor problem but still.

3. Anything to include next time?
In terms of content, I personally thought everything was really good. However, with the layout, maybe you could include the headlines on the first post so that people know what to expect.

Also, I would love to help out with Squills if there are places available!

Ooh, fantastic ideas, Tam!
Would a table of contents with links to specific following posts be what you're looking for?

Also, if you haven't already, send a PM over to @Ignorance to talk about gettin' on the team!

Yeah, something like that would be great!

1. What did you like?

Something that really really stood out for me was the quotes! I haven't really read squills before that much, but when I did I felt it was missing some journalistic attributes, and If felt the quotes brought a more journalistic feel to it. Also, I liked the interviews! I thought they made it very engaging and exciting. I also liked the idea of the Squills bot, for I thought it was a kind of mascot and it made me happy seeing it. Lastly the writing, all of the posts were written excellently, and I was really impressed.

2. Anything you didn't like? 3. Anything to include next time.

No really, haha. But if I was to give advice I'd say that probably the biggest thing that could be added would be a joke or cartoon page something more engaging like that. Perhaps that's already been planned for the future but I think that would be great fun. Maybe Snoik could lend her moth and myth cartoons and CowLogic could have a "Cow says" page or something like that. I think it would add even more interest.

I accidentally combined the two last questions. But I really couldn't find anything specific I didn't like. What Artic said though was good, and I think a table of contents would be a great idea!!

You responded, and Squills delivered!
Thanks to the suggestions of @ArcticMonkey and @thewritersdream, this week's issue of Squills featured both a table of contents and a column by our very own Speaker of the Cow.

What would you like to see for week three?!

I wanna bring back the YWS news. Like Lin and... June? somebody? used to run. It's like the gossip column where we say things like "Ignorance got a haircut!" or "@Snoink got married!" Just silly little bits of member news.

Flippin' awesome idea, Stella! Thank you! Our team will see what we can do!

As GossipStella herself (the one and only source into the scandalous lives of YWS's elite) I would be happy to do so.

Wa-bam, and you're on the team!

I totally agree with this, I just got back from reading the Squills for the first time and it was a little tiresome to have to scroll that far down and back up again.

I thought that the interviews and the quotes from the members were really good, and that the Squills team should continue with that.

Something that I thought would be cool to add would be to feature one or more Green Room work a week, to get it out there and cut back on the GR fill-up.

Also, I would like to help the team in any way that I can.

That's all for now!

That's a great suggestion, @HomeschooledTeen. Would you like to be in charge of that?

Totally, if that's okay with y'all. I'd love to.

I have a suggestion:
I think something that actively involves readers will make it entertaining. For example having a section where the outcome of the next squills is influenced by the readers over the week such as something that someone writes which has a topic suggested by people and the best topic wins and is used... just a random example.
If you need someone I don't mind volunteering to help out in that area.
