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

This is an incentive to get writing for the Future Guide.

We are asking as many people as possible if they would like to write for the New Guide. As a little persuasion tactic we are running an initiative in which the best of the Entries submitted to Peer Review now, will be intended to have place of honour on the Front Page of the very first edition of the Future h2g2 **

The normal procedure for submitting Entries and the original BBC Writing Guidelines still apply.

If you are considering volunteering for a Scout role, this incentive scheme is a good one for you to practice your commenting and reviewing skills. For writers, you will have the opportunity to have help with honing your final version.


Start writing now - remember we want to see original, fresh writing. Tell us about something that sings from your heart, explain your little corner of the Galaxy to us, or teach us something new.

We need to grow the Guide - Come and sow some seeds in Peer Review.





If you have any queries about this scheme - please reply to this thread. If you need help or advice about submitting your Entry, or need some suggestions for things to write about - please ask that as well. We fed the dragon earlier and anyway it doesn't bite hard.

** Bearing in mind that the full legal aspects of the sale have still to take place, we cannot make hard and fast promises, this is our intention.

Are entries that are currently in PR up for consideration, or only new entries submitted from this date on?

I guess we run the risk of submitting an entry with this in mind, only for it to be published before we transfer.

Oh well, life's like that

As far as I am able to say - all Entries, submitted this week are up for consideration.

I think we have Sam's word that he would liaise with us over which Entries will get published in the meanwhile.

You could put a note in the beginning of the PR thread that the entry's meant for postBBC...

Which thread do you mean Amy? Please let me know where you think we need to make things clearer.


Thanks!

Sorry--I meant the PR thread started by the person submitting an entry in the hopes that it will be the first on the FP of our new home. If that makes sense.

yes, that does make sense - good idea! thanks Amy

I'm happy for anything I write to be pre or post BBC. Can I just say that here without putting it in all my Peer Review threads?

you're welcome BB - as are all your Entries. I think that your research into the historical past of Britain is amazing.
