Magazine Staff - 40K Terra

Celestial Guardian · 10-22-2007

We would like to keep Liber Imperialis as a bi-monthly contribution to this site and providing a printable 40K Terra experience that can be taken with you anywhere. To make that happen we need your help!

We are in desperate need of permanent staff to help us out with the mag. As of the last issue only 3 people were activley involved init's construction: Lord Commander Erus, steveberenyi,and Celestial Guardian. In my opionon we did pretty well, but we could be alot better with help.

Anyone who is interested in helping out please respond and let us know what position you are interested in. Postitions are as follows:

Editors (need base of 4) Celestial Guardian, Killer333, Joe Guardsman, Wolfpack

Columnists (need base or 3) Steellegioncpt, Stitch

Reporters (need base of 3) Celestial Guardian

Layout (need base of 3) Celestial Guardian, Caganer, Wolfpack

Artists (need base of 3) steveberenyi, Caganer

Advertising (need base of 2) stevebernyi, Krom Stormbrow

Cartoons/Humor (need base of 2)

Fan Fiction (open to all members)

Duties for these positions are as follows:

Editor: Read all incoming articles checking for spelling, grammer, composition, and article structure. Editors will function as a middle man for the reporter/columnist and the layout staff. Editors will also be charge of layout editing to help the staff of that department.

Columnists: Each have a column that is specific to a theme of which the columnist provides articles. Examples include rants, reviews, tactica etc.

Reporters: Creating articles for use in the mag as well as the accompanying pictures for said articles. Reporters can bring information in from any credable source that does not jeopardise the 40K Terra site (ie credit your sources). All articles are to be Warhammer 40,000 universe related (as in any game set in the). Reports from conventions and Games Days are also welcome and encouraged. Reporters can be either dedicated to writing articles for each mag or write freelance.

Layout: Creates the mag apges and overall look of the mag. Reports to editors on progress of mag with weekly updates.

Artists: Create artwork for use in the mag based upon recent events in the 40,000 universe (new releases, campaigns etc), or simply filler material to be used in random articles and spaces. Covers may alos be drawn from the body of work created by these indiviuals.

Advertising: Create advertisiments to be randomly inserted into the mag using differnt aspects of the forum as a spotlight. General ads for the site as well as specialised sections such as the battlefeild, rpg area, and trading zone will be needed. We cannot advetise pay sites, but we can advertise ourselves! The goal of these ads is to bring Joe Gamer into our community and allow him to grow with us.

Cartoons/Humor: comic strips, one panel comics, jokes and the like by the original artist or joke teller. This material should be fresh and provided by it's original source to avoid IP infringemtns to anyone. For example: Person X gives a "Turn Signals on a Landraider" comic strip in for publication. If person X is not the strips artist it cannot be accepted and it is the Intellectual Property of another person.

Fan fiction: Anyone who has written fan fiction on thsi site has the ability to have their work published in "Tales from the Liber" which will accompany the mag each issue.

For those wondering, the large number of people is to alow those that need to the ability to take a back seat for real life events. We realise tht things happen and ar eproviding a way to deal with them before hand so that the quality of the mag does not suffer and all of our volunteers have time for their own lives as well.

That's it for now.

SteveBerenyi · 10-22-2007

You know me CG, i'm in for the artist/advertising section. It's what i do.

Celestial Guardian · 10-22-2007

Thank you steve. Position is yours.

Lord Commander Erus · 10-22-2007

Celestial, you've done an awesome job this time around. Truly you have. If their is an Editor in Chief job, it's yours. I stepped in to fill a void and help Cag lessen his load, but I am easily able to admit when another one of talent comes along. I'll still help run this project, but i'm officially saying this thing is your baby. I'll just be the Overseer or some such, and help wherever I can since I seem to hav ea spattering of talents.

Celestial Guardian · 10-22-2007

Thaknyou for the vote of confidence. I will also present a few articles myself (as a reporter), as well and help with layout.

hairyyahoo · 10-22-2007

i don't know if i fall into any of the discription above but you are free to swipe anything i post in the stc or painting tutorial boards for any future issues. they're pretty good space fillers if you don't have anything better

Cagarner · 10-22-2007

Well i'll got for the Art and/or Layout job.

Templar Mikeel · 10-22-2007

It seemed like issue one had a lot more support. The lexomechanics did all of the spelling and grammar stuff. I don't think, however, that the mag should have dedicated reporters. That spot should be kept open.

The spot is STILL open for free lance, just like a regular magazine. Just, having three or so staffed writers GUARANTEES material each time, y'know?

Yup. That might generate a problem for some people, i.e., not enough time to write up quality articles. Not that I'd expaect that from anyone, just getting my thoughts out there.

If, and IF tiem constraints pop up etc, we can be informed and compensate. But a dedicated core of writers is needed.

lord marcus · 10-22-2007

i would like to be a fiction writer please.

Celestial Guardian · 10-22-2007

The reporters are for events and random articles. Having dedicated reporters means we always have some back up material for then things are slow. Submissions will be taken from anyone who wants to submit. I just wanted to have a staff the could cover some stuff others would not think of.

Think of it as a general term for people who have an article aka frelancers.

TheKiller333 · 10-22-2007

I wouldn't mind position of Editor (Really, i was irritated about the number of mistakes in your section of the Customizing your Army section! O.o) Nah, wasnt all too fussed but it does reduce the popularity of magazines to have spelling mistakes/grammatical mistakes.. sorry, i'm rambling, aren't I?

Celestial Guardian · 10-22-2007

Have at it! I'm editing people into posotions as we go.

TheKiller333 · 10-22-2007

Have.. at it..? Er.. what.. does.. that.. mean?

Steellegioncpt · 10-22-2007

Hey CG! I've written for the latest issue, and I would love to continue. I was thinking about for the next issue a baneblade tactica since apoc. is coming out and all!
I would love to be a writer or something.

Cheers,
peter

Celestial Guardian · 10-23-2007

the more the merrier! Would you like to have a tactica column or a one time article?

I would love to have a tactica article, I think I am very well qualified for it awesome

JoeGuardsman · 10-23-2007

I'd be good as an editor but I'm very incompetent when it comes to computers. Very qualified in the language area but I don't know if I could do much with the layout of the final product.

Krom_stormbrow · 10-23-2007

Bob me down for the advertising... Though time is little. I'll help where I can
