Month: May 2006

Kali’s Muser-Written Muse Project

She announced the idea on the Tenth Anniversary thread:

I’m working on an extra muse issue for the off – months that would consist entierly of matirial written by readers (that sounded really weird). I’ve asked people to contribute some articles and poems on the latest writing thread. Type “for By the Musers” at the top and end with the name you want the article/poem to be attributed to if it’s published. The magazine will be published three times a year, giving Muse a 12 issue schedule without much work for the editors, and giving musers a chance to have their articles published. Like???

Muse‘s Tenth Anniversary

That’s right: in January 2007, the Magazine of Life, the Universe, and Pie Throwing will be 10 years old. How should Muse mark the occasion? If we get our ideas in soon, there’s a chance the editors and publisher might have time to do something with them. (Unfortunately, there isn’t time to make a movie between now and then. If only…)

You can post ideas here for discussion, but make sure they also reach the magazine at muse@caruspub.com or via this handy online form at the official site.

May “Happy Birthday” Thread

Keep an eye on “Dates to Remember,” and post your greetings and glyphs here. Coming up later this month:

05-09 Axa’s birthday (1992 – natural blues)
05-15 Qween Mae’s birthday (1992 – dusty pink)
05-23 Parmandiriel’s birthday (1989 – silver)
05-28 MemyselfandI’s birthday (1992 – blue)

(Parmandiriel doesn’t come around much nowadays, but she was a faithful Muser for many years and deserves honor.)

RRR*, version 2006.3

*Round-Robin ‘Riting. Version 2006.2 seems to have ground to a halt, so here’s a chanced to start afresh. ‘Riters, assemble!

For those who haven’t done it before, round-robin ‘riting is like a relay race. One person writes for a while, then stops and lets someone else take over for a while. You can find examples in earlier RRR threads. It helps to decide in advance whether to agree on an overall leader to keep the story on track, and whether certain characters “belong” to certain writers as in a role-playing game. Beyond that, anything goes.

Now: who’s in, and what’s the story?
