Location Desired - Subforum under Announcements.
Name suggestions wanted. Please give feedback on this concept idea.

Log Horizon Newspaper (name pending) would be a collection of member submitted content as well as previews or updates from the mod staff which would be posted most likely on a monthly basis. Member submitted content including but not limited to art submissions, short stories, etc. Other content including - "of the Month"s. Thread of the Month, RP Character of the Month, Craft of the Month, etc. "of the Month" ideas are basically endless.
Currently looking for dedicated writers to find interesting threads and characters and to write spotlights/summaries on them. Also wanted - artists!
Specifically looking for (members can fill multiple roles):
- 1 or 2 members to read and summarize the CA event threads into short summaries for those not following the event.
- 1 or 2 members to read various threads throughout the forum, find interesting ones, and feature them with a summary and spotlight on the participating characters (Thread of the Month)
- 1 or 2 members to select a Character of the Month and write a feature article on the character and what they have done in the world, preferably including an interview with the character or RPer
- 1 or 2 members to feature a class or subclass and highlight an ability, craft or special skill of that class/subclass (Class/Subclass of the Month)
- All members to submit user content, such as art
Suggested rewards for participating (max 5 rewards per person per month or any combination):
- For related subclasses (potentially up to and including Accountant, Advertiser, Courier, Scholar, and Scribe) a one-time AP bonus on a single thread (1.2x) where the subclass is used/AP is for the subclass. Tracked in a separate thread, cannot be combined with other bonuses.
- 100g per submission for non-related subclasses or if preferred.
To expand on the AP bonus. Since the characters subclass makes sense with submitting content to the newspaper, but the newspaper is OOC, we can't directly give AP or IC rewards for participating. However, if the character does something relating to their subclass in RP/in IC, we can apply the bonus to this. Because this can add more complication to the claiming process, it will need to be applied properly and clearly or the bonus could be lost. One submission earns a bonus on one thread where the characters subclass is the primary focus/the thread is claimed for subclass AP only. Once claimed, the bonus is lost, even if the thread continues. EX: Adventurer Bob makes a thread as a Scribe and makes 5 posts with his friend, Adventurer Sally. After 5 posts, Adventurer Bob claims the 1.2x bonus on his thread for his Scribe subclass. A week later, Adventurer Bob and Adventurer Sally continue the thread and make 5 more posts each. When Adventurer Bob claims these posts, they do not have a bonus on them as the bonus was already claimed, unless Bob uses another bonus he has earned. This sounds complicated but it will be tracked in a separate thread which will be used as proof during AP claims if you have the bonus or not. Bonuses expire after 6 months. To earn a bonus, a submission MUST be featured in the Newspaper. For example submitting 5 stick figures every month for "Art" will not earn bonuses if the art is not used.
Continuing with our example of Adventurer Bob, let's say he submitted 3 things to the newspaper, earning himself 3 different bonuses. A thread would be updated as such
Adventurer Bob
1.2x bonus earned on >date< - Not redeemed, expires on >date 6 months later<
1.2x bonus earned on >date< - Not redeemed, expires on >date 6 months later<
1.2x bonus earned on >date< - Not redeemed, expires on >date 6 months later<
When Adventurer Bob claims those 5 posts, he uses one of his bonuses, the thread would be updated as such
Adventurer Bob
1.2x bonus earned on >date< - Redeemed on AP claim >link<
1.2x bonus earned on >date< - Not redeemed, expires on >date 6 months later<
1.2x bonus earned on >date< - Not redeemed, expires on >date 6 months later<
When the AP claim is made, it is the users responsibility to post a reply to the thread tracking the bonuses to say an AP claim has been submitted for the bonus listed. Once the AP claim is approved, the first post containing the bonuses would be updated. If a user fails to report the use of a bonus, they lose the right to have the bonus and all unredeemed bonuses are removed. When making an AP claim, the user must also link to the thread containing the proof they have an active bonus available.
