Discussion: New Locations

I *know*! I hate that the idea never really got past the germination stage - so - please - someone take this brainchild and run with it. Send it to college with a full module - *something*.

Surcease and Dolor!

I really like Surcease and Dolor too.

Since there's talk of including the various planar renovations in the publication, it would make sense to include a location or three from the plane being focused on that quarter.

I like the idea of finding it in the hinterlands of the Wastes. Perhaps it was an old Gate Town that had too much conviction and zest to their belief of doom that they couldn't fully be accepted by the plane?

There's a Marketplace Entry on the wiki - I'm not sure how it compares with the Hallowed Ground mention.

This is probably the topic I'm most enthusiastic about contributing towards (though I may not be able to leap in for the first issue) - I was actually just revisiting my planar locations ideas from the KQ forums and there are a couple that I feel good enough about to perhaps do something with. Sci, you've certainly got more than a few on there that deserve some additional attention.

That's great - I wasn't sure if that was a cattle call for the eventual gazetteer pitches or what, but just peeked at some of the successful pitch threads and was happy to see several of them mining the brainstorms. I've had to more-or-less step away from that project on account of time, but am really looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

I seem to be writing too many things at the same time right now, but should have some location sketches in the next several days.

Feel free to use Surcease and Dolor.

Maybe Log X could go in as a regular column-like feature, one long or two short entries per issue. You can use any of mine, and feel free to edit, though you'll probably want to skip Equestria for copyright purposes. Make sure to get permission from any of the other authors before using a contribution of theirs.

If Surcease and Dolor are already mostly writ - can the author (or whoever is going to proxy for the author) drop it in the editorial queue so we can get people started on the edit process? Strike while the iron is hot and all...

Ok, let me know if you run into any troubles with this. On the right hand side of the screen you should see a link under the Fanzine links for submitting an article. Hit that up, load up the text you want to work with.

You'll see a lot of other options there as well (like what name we should credit, what art you would like to see with your work, etc etc). Let me know if any of that doesn't work right or needs more documentation to make it easier to work with. There's just a lot of pieces that need to be pulled together for a 'zine article.

Then - when you're ready to put it to the editors for work - change the workflow to submit and save it. That should move it right into the editors queue, send out a bunch of email to the editors to get started on it, etc. You'll also get pinged whenever there's a change in status for the article.
