While I'm not interested in a job here this thread IS relevant to my interests.
i could probably audition for Q&A or plots we have a cool crey goblins reapers plot in the mix currently im project Zombeh trying to get 5 hero archtypes as my power is able to change to any form but only the 2 powers per archtype :P
EDIT: forgot to mention project zombeh is affiliated with the crey a succesful project i may add >:P
Aw, dammit, now I need to come up with funny news stories. >.>;;
Ice/Ice Blaster. Dedication to concept is an ugly thing.
Claws/WP Brute. Sex without the angst.
Every CoX character lies somewhere on this spectrum.
This is amazing. I want in. I don't know what I'd do, but I'm open to ideas.

UPDATE: I have updated the main thread with some new sections. In game, I will also be making an official chat channel for VirtueVerse Weekly, that way the staff and contributors can discuss the paper in game.
This sounds interesting! I may be interested in doing a featured artist section if that is something you'd like to have in your paper.

Just to be clear, will being on staff be required to submit articles? I assume not but *shrug*
This is pretty much what I did on a regular basis in a previous game but I am notoriously lazy and unreliable so I wouldn't want to be an official staff member... But I would love to submit an article when it struck my fancy...

That's probably something I could combine with the Comics section, or replace the Comics section with if I don't get any strip artists. But yes, I would love to have a small art gallery in the paper. Hmm, the articles themselves will need accompanying pictures as well. *plansplansplans*|

Just so everyone knows, I'm hoping to have enough content for the first issue to be released SATURDAY, MAY 22. A week should be plenty of time for this.
ALSO: Anyone who is good at formatting stuff for PDF files, please contact me. I will be formatting the paper myself through Open Office, and I have been teaching myself how to format stuff. Any tips or advice will be EXTREMELY helpful. Thank you!
If you're gonna have an in-character Dear Abby advice column type thing, I'd like to get in on that, too. If an audition is required, then I'd like to do that.
I'm confused with the wedding/obituary section. is this for botched weddings?
It's Paragon and the Rogue Isles. With all the convoluted stories and plots I think that's a very smart idea. Wedding assassinations would be one of the more sane things I've seen on this server.
Also, I have a character that might make a good fit for the Dear Abby part. Just send me a PM on here and all that.
Thoughts on the ITF: "What? 600+ men in loincloths running around and you're going to tell me not one of them has had something slip out?"
Hmm. A very groovy idea here! If I were only able to commit myself more fully to City of Heroes/Villains...
To clarify though; anyone can send an article to the editor (Virtue.Verse.Weekly@gmail.com) that they would like to see in the newspaper? For example, if one wanted to write a brief article about the exploits of their character and associated characters, they could provide you with their written article, and it would be reviewed and perhaps incorporated into the newspaper?
If that is what you meant, what are the specifications for an article? Things like article length (character limit), images, content guidelines, and pre-formatting--to make it easier on the editor, putting the article and attachments into the newspaper. What should be done to ensure an easy addition to the newspaper, really.
Again, this is a really groovy idea, and I for one am looking forward to checking out the first edition when it comes up! With reader-submitted articles, it could also be a great opportunity for fresh and up-coming Heroes and Villains to introduce themselves to the community.

I haven't set any specifications as of yet. As this paper is new, I'm really just experimenting with it at the moment, trying to figure out how many people are interested, how many articles we could publish each week on average, and the maximum length of the paper. At most, each article should be no longer than a page and a half, typed with 12 size font, and at least one picture if the person submitting the article wishes to have an accompanying pic.
P.S. I am currently in-game as No Common-Sense Girl! If you would like to get in on the paper, please send me a tell! Thank you!
This is an awesome idea. I'm not sure if I can support it meaningfully other than being a loyal reader, but I'm totally behind it.

VirtueVerse Weekly is an upcoming online newspaper based in the Virtue universe. Here's a rundown of some of the things that will be featured in the project.
Headlines: This section will be comprised of fictional stories written by you, the VirtueVerse players. Any notable plots in progress can be submitted as an article to the paper for possible publication. There will be about 3-5 stories published each week.
Advertisements: A section for advertisements. Will be available for supergroup advertisements and other things as by request.
Gallery: A section of CoH art recommended by you, the readers. If there is a particular piece of art you absolutely love, feel free to submit it for the Gallery! All pictures in the gallery will be direct linked to which ever website they are originally published at, so readers can click the pictures and comment on the artist or creator of the character.
Dear Abby: A question and answer article. The position for this will need to be auditioned for.
Character Features: This is an interview type section. Each week I will interview a notable Hero (or Villain, if possible) and write an article about the interview.
OOC: A section still being debated on. I would like to have a small part dedicated to non-character things going on around the server. If you any ideas regarding this section, by all means post them.
That is all for now, more will be added as time goes on and suggestions are made. VirtueVerse Weekly is entirely non-profit and is a fan made publication. Your stories and articles are copyright to you and you alone, the VirtueVerse Weekly staff will not stand to gain from them. This will be a community based project for everyone to enjoy, for FREE, and is purely voluntary.
Any comments or suggestions should be posted in this thread. If you would like to apply for a position as a journalist/editor/artist, or if you would like to submit an article or plot to be published, send to Virtue.Verse.Weekly@gmail.com.
