Please add the Vogons to the post!

A950492

Would your Vogons be interested in contributing a few words to each issue of <./>AggGag</.>CAC, which is featured in each edition of ?
(Current issue at A948693 is by Subcom.Deidzoeb.)

Perhaps at first, at least, you could let us have a few introductory words of your recent establishment stating your goals and intentions and your invitation to all like-minded or of Vogon origins to asemble at A950492 the page you noted above.

We would be happy to promote your efforts and would continue to offer you some small corner of our page as long as you can meet our high standards and rigourous editorial policies . Unless you get a better offer from of course.

AggGag would be great! The following is an introduction:

"The Vogons are a group of beings who write dreadful poetry. If you join, then you might like to write some of this *fine* poetry, and post it to Deadelvis."

I hope you won't mind if I 'expand' on that just a bit...?

While it almost pure Vogon in its reproduction of the sort of standard 'introductory offer' which one might find in a local newspaper ad or even the back pages of a glossy magazine (right between the 'sea monkeys', 'pet rocks' and 'the Rosicrucians') it lacks some of the 'zip' our AggGag readers have come to expect.

In fact their expectations are our predictable behaviors. It's become a symbiotic relationship, with diminishing returns.

Now, at this point I will have to jump and down and wave my arms a bit hoping one of the Posties will notice our conversation here and allow me to make changes to our next issue, which I had already submitted. This will involve some manipulation and readjustment of certain time coordinates and you may experience some dizzyness if you stand too close.

Having stepped into a call box and changed into my secret identity, I have made adjustments to our upcoming issue which will now include your invitation in pretty much your original form. It struck me that to 'edit' or 'embellish' anything of Vogon origin would be counterproductive if not physically, intellectually and emotionally impossible.

Now if I can just alert of these updates, the world will beat a path to your door. And maybe I can turn myself back into, ~jwf~

Hi Deadelvis

<./>ThePost</.> is aware of you having spotted this thread about 30 minutes after ~jwf~

Why not drop over to A700688 - take a look around and see if you or your members would be interested to contributing on a regular basis? We always welcome new writers, especially attempting something so dear to h2g2ers hearts!

Would you also like a note about your new club popping into the Announcements section run by Greebo - and where in the links would you like to be entered? I think the choice is between the 'Clubs and Societies' A660340 and 'Stretch Your Mind' A660359 sections.

Thanks, I would like to contribute Vogon poetry! We have a section of poetry already, how about looking at it? A950744

I'm also interested in the Vogons being listed in Stretch your mind!

Excellent

Could you clear it with all your poets that we will scour the poetry section and 'lift' one regularly for the Vogon Poetry slot then please?

I wouldn't want to be seen as stealing from a Vogon


I think I'll add the Club to the 'Clubs and Societies' and the Vogon Poetry Corner to the 'Stretch Your Mind' section.

, thanks a lot! I'll inform our poets.
