Now that I'm not ill or at college, time to get on with some writing for future issues.
Looks really good! Can't wait for more.

Excelent work Hikari, I'll have to get some ideas together and see if I can't submit something.
Thanks for putting in the article about Patterson, enjoyed that a lot
Again, excellent work, and a great idea
Nice start. Liked the little comic at the end too.
Thankyou! *Is responsible for Supersheep*
First time i've done anything remotely web-comicy, hopefully the next episode should be better drawn and with another GG related joke

I should of worked that out... heh... I was extremely tired at the time though 
Just to add in a few almost FAQ's (ok, they would be FAQ's but not enough people have asked them yet)
[ QUOTE ]
Can I write an article?
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes! Anyone can submit an article, by emailing it to the address above.
[ QUOTE ]
Does it have to be about plot?
[/ QUOTE ]
No! Articles can be about anything in the city that would be deemed "newsworthy", and if you've read the papers in a slow week you'll realise anything can be newsworthy. 
This includes fictional events, human interest pieces, international (and interdimensional) affairs, hero gossip, columnists, cartoons, screenshots, horoscopes, adverts, spotlights on local businesses, letters to the editor...
[ QUOTE ]
Does it have to be a written article?
[/ QUOTE ]
Nope. As "Supersheep" shows, a pitcure is worth a thousand words. You can submit cartoons (both strips and single panel commentary cartoons are good, if I get enough we might even be able to start the GG funnypages ), screenshots that relate to your story, adverts (actually, if anyone feels up for drawing some ads for some of the city shops I'll love them forever)...
[ QUOTE ]
Do I have to write these IC?
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, in that they have to be written from an IC perspective. You don't have to have a journalist character though, just pick a pseudonym (or 6) to be your offscreen journalist. Of course, if people want to play reporters IC they're more than welcome to.
[ QUOTE ]
Where do I send questions for Madame Celinda?
[/ QUOTE ]
This applies to any "write in" section, including letters. Send them to ggnewspaper@yahoo.co.uk and they'll be forwarded on to whoever writes the article.
[ QUOTE ]
Is there a deadline for stuff?
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, I'm hoping to get these published weekly on a Sunday (RL schedule permitting). Letters etc should be sent in as soon as possible to give the author time to write their article. If you want to submit an article you should send an email in with an estimate of the length, a rough subject, and a note whether it applies to current or comming plots by Saturday at midnight. The final print deadline is Sunday at 10pm, and at 9pm you may be subject to extreme pouting to make sure the articles appear, you have been warned.
Plot related articles will appear in the next issue after I recieve them, fiction articles may be held back a week if there are space constraints.
If anyone can think of any more questions, just ask! Now, get writing!
A note to readers:
I'm hoping to start up an Obituaries section with Max, which can be both RP, and also any deaths in-game you feel you want reported. As said above, email ggnewspaper@yahoo.co.uk
And remember, I need you to die to get this started, so start playing badly! 
In other news, may I just say I loathe IE and it's utterly fubarred implementation of CSS?
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
HAHAHAHA
From years of webcoding.. I can safely say... IE hasnt been internet Code compliant since ie4 and its ASP/Cascasing Style Sheet (CSS) and JS coding support is screwed up... u want summat that supports it.. use FireFox
M$ newer IE doesn't come out yet..and even then I doubt it'll be compliant enough.
FIREFOX FTW!!11

Leaving aside the usual "ZOMG!!11 U can't use IE, it is the suxxorz!!11one!" comments...
What was wrong with it? I use IE all the time and the paper displayed fine on my PC.
Disclaimer: The above may be humerous, or at least may be an attempt at humour. Try reading it that way.
Posts are OOC unless noted to be IC, or in an IC thread.
That's because the paper didn't use CSS.
I bashed together a lot of ugly nested HTML tables because I was in a hurry. Ugly? Yep. Difficult to update? Sure. Tough to change layout and position? Hell yes.
Works in every browser?
Yup.
EDIT: It's also why, buried in the code for issue 1, can be found the following comment:
<!-- If anyone wants to give me grief over using Tables instead of CSS Positioning to layout the page, or multiple FONT tags rather than defining Styles, bite me. This was a quick bodge job. -->

Old arguement, that does NOT belong on these forums if you don't mind... The paper displays perfectly, and as Doc T says, it doesn't USE any CSS bilge...

I was going to use CSS, to be fair. I just didn't have the time when Hiki started pouting at me for a paper layout an hour before she wanted to publish.
*grin*

hehe. I think the layout looks good. *shakes fist*
We are pleased to announce the launch of the Paragon Standard, new newspaper for Paragon City. Issues of our weekly publication are available from all good newsagents, and the paper kiosks inside PTA stations.
We hope you enjoy.
((The print archive can be found here . We are now taking submissions for issue 2, the deadline is saturday to inform me of the outline of your piece, and sunday at 10pm for the finished article. Outlines should consist of a vague subject and estimated length in paragraphs, and both outlines and articles should be submitted to ggnewspaper@yahoo.co.uk. Questions are also wanted for our agony aunt, Madame Celinda, and should be sent to the same address.))
