h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

...for catching up with the group idea so fast - I was afraid I'd have to explain my thinking before anyone would understand what I'm up to!

No worries... I think it a wonderful idea
I'll send a few more over if I can catch them!

Have another one for free

Prettige Kerstdagen to you and yours Titania

shazz

You too, Shazz!



*huh, tried 'preview' on this posting, and discovered I spelt the first smiley - oh Greebo, where art thou?*

She's well... she will return soon... but I know what you mean

shazz

I know she's well - but not her computer... *deep sigh*

Excuse me for butting in, but as Titania's alter ego I'd like to point out there's less than 4 hours left of Thursday CET

Nearly there

Just coding the front page now

shazz

You know, reading the Post every Thursday is almost as addictive as Greebo's quiz!

It is there now

No Greebs I'm afraid... her compie is still sick

shazz

*dusts off old conversation*

I knew there was a 'greetings' posting somewhere around here! *cough, cough*

I'd like to have your opinion on some crap I've been writing very recently (this afternoon, actually) - do you think it might be something for the post?

I haven't got the faintest idea myself, since this is the first time I've tried to write a completely fictional entry - feel free to tell me if it's full of stereotypes or klichées, or completely predictable - like I said, I wouldn't know, since this is my first attempt!

Duuuuuuuhhh... how about if I gave you a link to it as well?

I'll drop over and take a looksee

I've been finishing up subbing a piece on LSD so I'm feeling rather 'trippy' atm

shazz

I like this Titania.

It is refreshing to have a story NOt based on h2g2 for a change
Mind you, the ones we Do have are great fun also.

So... would you like us to serialise this in The Post then?

shazz

You liked it? Thank you!

You know, when I started thinking about having imagination enough to come up with a new episode each week, I realized I'll have to give it a bit more thought... I'll let you know...

I've written 4 episodes this far, so I think I'll go for it, if I may!

Tried it out on sea, and she liked it!

So how do I contribute?

Excellent

Do you want a graphic for it - if so any idea as to what? We have DoctorMO and Greebo both keen to design head of page graphics to complement regular items.

Then just send over the first one (pasted into a notepad file) via the PO contribute page. Go to the Post Office on h2g2, click on the link to the PO at http://www.h2g2post.co.uk and then attach it to the form under 'contribute'

Once I get my monitor back and working (tomorrow hopefully) I can download it and you should get notification that it has arrived safely. I'll get back to you if it doesn't, or if these monitor repair men don't turn up - again!

It's my 3rd Anniversary today btw

shazz

Congratulations! Oh - so you're one of those 5-digit researcher numbers...<---*green with envy*

A graphic? Wow, that'd be really !
Hmmm... let's see... I guess it'll turn out to be a story about the fight between good and evil... I think I'll call it 'The Dark Times'

I've been thinking of using pictures from the h2g2 picture library to illustrate each episode - would that be OK?

Something I'd really like would be a horizontal separator - like but a bit more decorative, like leaves, or or just slightly curved ending with a swirl in each end, or something like that...

Should I just copy&paste the whole entry with all the GuideML codes?

Hi again - you just caught me before I retire to my coffin

Yep! I am a 4,0000-type researcher

I am sure we can design a cool separator for you - I'll have to check, but Greebo used to use one

Yes please... just copy the lot in, including title and weekly chapter number/heading/name. We will do the rest.

Nighty night
