Same deal as last week really, except I'm hoping to hear from someone new. (I already know Shazz and MaW are readers, but then if they didn't read it I'd know I was in trouble...)

So, this week's episode is a bit different. I don't know whether it's a change for the better or not, but I'd appreciate some feedback on this format, because I think it will affect the style of many future episodes.

On the subject of content, I think it's high time I started doing some more direct question-answering episodes, explaining how Endam ar Berrito was resurrected, who Fyendodas is, what prophesies Sunder's involved in,
etc. rather than just recording what happened next, which seems to be what's happening at the moment. Any comments on this?

R, tA

Very interesting story smiley - ok. Looks like neither of us have managed to pick the small trickle of conversationalists this week thoughsmiley - sadface

We've really got to do more to promote the post. I didn't really know much about it until about 3 months after I joined, and that was mostly because of the AGG GAG CAC.

If Shazz is reading this, I will get around to e-mailing you as soon as possible, and have some non-168 related ideas for the post if shes interested in hearing themsmiley - ok

Back to the custard of the matter (or rather next to it), maybe we as post reporters should create some sort of guild of reporters somewhere we can go to, a bit like the ACE's page, or perhaps a forum? Anyway, I'm just writing this quite tired at the end of a busy day at work, so forgive me if I haven't really said anything relevant, and am just speaking (or rather typing) my mind at the moment.smiley - huh

well, since you said it was a very interesting story, that kinda negates your saying nothing relevant comment. Glad you're liking it. Glad someone's reading it...
you're right, we need more publicity. I have two ideas. one is to shamelessly promote ourselves in many many conversations. the more radical one is to collect the stories into volumes when they're finished, maybe ask Mina or Abi to give proper, bound, signed editions of these away as prizes at an Official Meet. Something like that, anyway.
we also do need an office. I think it'd be nice for any collaborative work. (here's an idea - does anyone want to do a guest episode of Next to the Custard? I'd have to provide a vague outline, and perhaps edit the episode, due to continuity, but it might be fun).
if Shazz is reading this... I'm developing an idea I have for a second Post story. It won't appear for quite some time yet, there's a lot of work required, as I think it's an idea which has never actually been done before.

and lastly: I have no idea how the Regiment's doing. I ought to go look, oughtn't I?
