Possible New Newspaper?

[aya_shameimaru]

I'm interested in Aya starting up her own newspaper again in this world, but I'm not too sure what levels it would become. Let alone the fact that there's already the paperboy here anyway unless she'd become a rival company.


...Also would it be possible to have Aya's building be her place of residence (provided she makes enough *'s for it) since she usually sleeps in the same place her work is.

Okay I've been trying to think about how to get this to work out well and there are some options:

1. Aya could establish her own newspaper as a rival company, like you said. You would be in charge of all content and when she released the paper. It would not affect the Genessia Tribune, but you would be welcome to have it delivered by the following methods:

a. Paperboy if it is a Sunday release and you would be welcome to PM the newspaper to genpcs when you release it.
b. The Papergirl is also available and you would be welcome to PM the newspaper to genpcs when you release it. This would give you the option of having a different delivery/release date/post than the Genessia Tribune.
c. Aya can self-deliver and just make regular posts for it herself.

2. Aya can join as a writer for the weekly release of the newspaper. Due to events soon to be described in an events announcement post, they are coming out irregularly, but anything that you would like to have submitted for her as a writer would be due Saturdays at 11:59pm EST via a PM to genpcs with a subject line that says "Genessia Tribune Article." She will be listed on the employment page and paid *** for being a primary journalist/contributor (with experience).

If you have any other ideas, I'd be glad to hear them so that we can try to fit your and your character's needs as best as possible! As for her place of residence, that's completely acceptable. You can either have her run her business out of an apartment or have an apartment installed on top of her building for her newspaper if you choose to do that.

I think I'd want Aya to establish her Bunbunmaru again as a competing news-source, and depending on the size of Genessia in whole, perhaps employ the Papergirl (provided she gets clear instructions /not/ to throw rocks or other dangerous implements with the papers). If they're not large enough, Aya could easily fly the posts herself.

Though I do have to wonder if I'd need to make regular posts of actual content/how do I get such content?

[plungeintofire]

We won't require you to put out content if you don't want to. You can handwave that or you can write something. However, every once in a while it might be good to release something you wrote so that the players know there's something to respond to. You are welcome to do that by PMing the moderator npc account to have it posted by the Papergirl (as you requested) or post them yourself on the main comm and simply label it as a newspaper article from the Bunbunmaru. (Or whatever name you choose to have it go by in Genessia.)

Most of the content in the Genessia Tribune is about random happenings in the town, so if you want to write about content, feel free to write what you'd like as long as you have A. OOC permission from any players your character mentions in the paper and B. if it is something that moderator permission would be required for, you make sure to ask us. (Big events that affect the environment or a large number of people would be important to run by us, for example, so if your character is reporting on a massive earthquake in Fayren that knocked down half the city, unless you have mod permission it should be labeled as false reporting.) As always, all information would have to be something that your character is capable of obtaining ICly so as to avoid info-modding. Otherwise, you're free to post as little or as much as you would like. If you have any more questions, please let us know!

[aya_shameimaru]

That's fine. I think for most of it I'd end up handwaving it, but perhaps a few journals or maybe even if allowed, the Bunbunmaru can report on the huge events that are going on (like the current apparent manhunt being orchestrated and somesuch). If it's fine as it is now, I'll go ahead and throw up the post in the business page.
