Newspaper Staff Meeting, 4pm FHT, Journalism Room

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

Peter was kind of nervous about his first meeting as editor, but, hey, there were pastries and coffee to calm his nerves. Unfortunately it was not decaf. That didn't help his nerves.

[OOC: New paper people! Hello! Be sure to check your invites so you can see the info/planning post in fhightimes.

Jamie shuffled into the room and gave his roommate a wave. "Hey Petey. What's the good word?"

Re: Get Your Assignment/Volunteer for Something

"Hey, Jamie," Peter said, waving back. "The good word is news. Or coffee. A lot of coffee. Want some coffee? What's up?"

Jamie's eyes lit up a bit and he shuffled to the coffee machine. "Well I meant to sign up for the newspaper club but forgot completely about it. I don't suppose you have anything open for me? Obituaries or something?"

"Hi!" Cher said. "So, is there like, anything specific you had in mind for me to do?"

Not that she didn't have about eight billion ideas, mostly suited for the pages of Waif.

"Profiles on businesses in town, opinions from a new student starting her first semester at Fandom... You're in StuCo, right? We could always use someone on the StuCo beat," Peter said. "It's pretty wide open depending on what you'd like to do."

Re: Get Your Assignment/Volunteer for Something

[notclueful]

"Oh! I can do that! Someone should make sure the public gets all the StuCo news," she said. "And seriously, shopping tips, reviews of stuff, advice columns, I can do it all."

Cher might be a dork.

"What kind of things do you need?" Katara asked, wondering how much spelling counted. Maybe she could get Zack to read over her article before she turned them in.

"We have people from all sorts of cultures going to school here. How about something like that, a piece about student cultures or something. Pick a few students at random, ask them about their homes, all that kind of stuff. Or if you have any ideas for an op/ed piece, I'm always open to those," Peter said. "I once wrote an opinion article about an Australian bird, so anything is fair game."

"Oh! I could write something about the animals we have at home," Katara said. "You guys don't have sabretooth mooselions and stuff. But students first, I'll do that this week."

Pam gave a shy little wave. "So what do you need written?"

Re: Get Your Assignment/Volunteer for Something

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"How about a profile on someplace in town?" Peter asked. "One of the newer places, probably. That would be Pixie Dust, Wellspring Arms, or the Banana Stand, I think. Any preference from those?"

Re: Get Your Assignment/Volunteer for Something

Pam bit her lip. "Clothes, guns or...bananas. I'm going with clothes?"

"Peter? Is it okay if I write profiles on the teachers? Maybe start with Professor Winchester, or the Principal?" Charlie asked. "I could hit up the newer ones after I've had some practice."

Re: Get Your Assignment/Volunteer for Something

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"If you think you're up to taking on the Principal, go for it. Don't worry, she likes me, she'll go easy on you," Peter said. "We also have Jamie working on teacher profiles, too, but the more the merrier."

Rikku waved. "Hiya! Uh. Can I still do the Al Bhed thing I was doing? And I don't mind the horoscopes or whatever, but they were kinda ... easier to write with someone else. Alanna's the one who knew ... horoscope stuff."

Which should be really obvious to anyone who read horoscopes the weeks Rikku did them solo.

Re: Get Your Assignment/Volunteer for Something

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Sounds good to me, Rikku," Peter said. "And I definitely still want the horoscopes in there, so... Tell you what, work with Jamie on those."
