Welcome, Bienvenue, wilkommen, bienvenido!

Hi Lysenko.

I'm not an ACE, but I thought, as you are new on today, that I'd come and say hi. My name is Necro; I'm a sub-editor. That means that when people write articles and want them put into the Approved Guide, the articles get sent to people who, like me, are sub-editors to edit and approve for inclusion.

If you too wish to have articles that you have written included in the edited section of the guide, the best idea is to have a look at this page first: http://www.h2g2.com/A53209

This also has links to editing guidelines for the sub-editors, so you can see the sort of things we're looking for, too.

I look forward to editing one of your articles!

All the best,

Necr

Maybe when you have settled in a bit more, you would like to write one for the POST also? The h2g2 online newspaper is always pleased to welcome new contributors

Just how do you become a contributor for the Post, Shazz? I've been around for some time now, about eight or nine months, but I still don't know how to contribute to the Post (a darn good read, usually). This could just be reflecting badly on me...

Necr

Hi Necro
Sorry that I took so long replying. I have been in that dreadful state called *no internet connection* as both the computers here needed serious revamping! Anytime you want to publish an article, just pop into the *POST* office (there is a link on my home page)and leave a message. Alternatively, you can just email it direct to Pastey or I.

Ta! What sort of stuff do you want articles on? Current affairs?

Necr

As you may have noticed... the article you suggested fot us was just perfect!
We accept anything... serious, amusing, concerned with h2g2, art, music, books, current affairs We are even featuring recipes, although because of my connection problems last week, this section was missing in the latest edition!

I think that that was rather a good piece of public service posting, don't you? Got the info out while informing myself. Cool

Necro

Hehehe!
Yes... very subtle!
shazzPRME

We should do this to all new people. Subtly inform them about everything that they can do in h2g2 while appearing just to be talking randomly. Subliminal messaging...

Necro

Indeed, although Lysenko doesn't appear to have read any of this, which defeats the object of the exercise somewhat!
