jammi567 the first step for you would be to see what team you fit the best. It doesn't matter if you're not an HTML expert or a skilfull writer, it matters to participate and contribute. Thus no Picasso needed here. You want to be an editor, or an artist, perhaps a journalist or a designer? No advanced knowledge required, your task will be clearily explained when one appointed to you. And still the Magazine is just an obtion. If you wish to help, I'll be gratefull.

The Might I added you to both teams JT and ET since free places are available at the moment. Once new members recuited for the newspaper in order to give them the oportunity to colaborate, you'll have to make a choise and stick to it. And still, you can work for both teams as long as you make a good job.

All the rest  aply for a post in our forum's magazine before the end of this month so we can work next month for the first edition of our newspaper -Christmas edition. Many tasks have already been created and waiting to be launched. If you have questions or something is not clear please post them here or mail them to me.

May I ask how this works? What is this magazine about? Is it to do with the goings on in TF or about members, or simply made up things?

Glorfindel1235 TF Magazine is about everyhing concerning our forums and much more.

The teams coop like this: the journalists gather information, the artists 'paint or write' it, the editors 'check misspellings' and the designers 'give the final shape'. If you think you want to do one of the things above let me know

jammi567 added, thankies

Celethil added, thankies

I dunno about the articles, since my opinion is pretty biased by the fact I am highly involved.
Perhaps someone else could do those tasks.
I for one would be happy with the interview/(s)
I'd do the one with a member for example...

This looks cool. I can't wait to see how it turns out. I'm not looking to get involved in something like this right now, but maybe in a few months I'll have more time to do things.


btw, where would I go to see the magazine?


G-G/G.

TM you don't have to do them all. Pick only one, maybe two if you think you can handle. Take your time. I have added you for the interview. Nice choise!

Gothmog the magazine will be available here on this thread and in some other few places. You will love it. Just wait!

"btw, where would I go to see the magazine?" to the link I will post, in the end the magazine is a website

TM - The chat function is available at anytime right now if you use the other URL. You just have to be on at the same time as the member you want to chat with.

Rumil - I'll take the Feanor story.

I have to say Rumil, this sounds awsome.


I've been involved in a magazine before (well, it was more of a newspaper, but still) and I would like to be involved with this also. I've looked at my calender and I have tomorow off from work, and I don't have any other plans. So I'd like to take an article on a character (I'm not sure which one you want me to do) if I could. However, I'd need to no who you want me to do it on in the next few hours.


I'm sorry if I missed any steps in joining the group.


G-G/G.

Celethil send me the banner  bremgarten85@hotmail.com  As soon as we have all articles we need for the magazine we'll start to upload them onto the server. Feanor story, all yours


Gothmog hun, I can't tell what article to take since I don't know you well but I can recommand: Faramir or Haldir.
Suggestions:
-how they were looking, dreassed, hair, eyes etc (both books and movies can provide plenty of information)
-your personal opinion , were they arogant, selfish, brave etc and if you would bring some quote from the books or some scenes from the movies to sustain your ideas would be grate but not mandatory
-did they have brothers, family, were they married? etc
-did they desire the one ring? did they get in contact with the one and did they react?
The article can be also made based on what you remember or what you think about one of the two.

To be an artist is at hand of anyone, to be a good artist however is a tasq appointed to those who dedicate at least 5 minutes of their preciousss life to painting or whichever activity requires some fantasy. I refuse to believe that somewhere deep in whoever's soul there is no drop of fantasy, the minimal requirement for some randomly lines and colors which normaly together would make a drawing.
I honestly think that everyone's an artist in a way or another wheather using a simple pencil or life itself, we're able to make this world not just a place to provide the esential elements of surviving but also a big painting where we can describe and show what's in by using lines, colors, shapes, shadows.
It's there inside, the muse, let it out. Inspiration comes when less expected. I myself, don't consider that only talented artists can become a true Picasso, specially when beauty lies in simple things such a flower or a cloud. Such a complex life can be revealed on a blanck piece of paper with such simple lines that can surprise the beauty of the world as good as video camera can.
The Magazine needs you, your fantasy, your simple art because this simple art is the only art that can reveal the complexity and beauty of the world in the easiest manner.

- Thread suspended due to innactivity -


TM and Celethil - for the articles you were supposed to submit until the end of this month, take your time and write them slowly because I decided to move the deadline for the end of January. Thank you for your understanding.
Everyone, main desk of TF's Magazine will restart activity when at least 5 new people will show interes. Untill then, I'll focus on my studies (Vorbereitungskurs Freiburg) as I should probably have done from the beginning.

Ich befinde mich in einen schweren Situation aber es gibt da gar nicht mehr zu tun. Ich entschuldinge mich dafür aber ich habe kaum Optionen. Bitte shick mir ein E-Mail wenn du hast weitere Fragen oder einfach willst du mit mir reden.

Unfortunately my studies require at least 12 hours a day from my time which leave me no alternative but to give up the internet in favour for studing. However, I'll still visit you regularely and even post sometimes.

no problem Rumil, I personally understand
I mean, I am in the 11th grade and I already find school quite demanding, not to mention studying
I hope everything goes well with your studies, and Viel Erfolg!
