Tonight being the...We're maintaining our deadlines. Tonight being the last date to post stories for consideration in this quarter's zine. People can keep posting though I'm getting the impression that they're posting with the sole intention of making it in.<BR/><BR/>Clarice, lol! Nice analogy. Yeah, the image will change...but my God, woman! The content has to change with it, otherwise all we'll have going for us, is a nice "look". We don't need to be the dumb blond here: pretty on the outside, hollow on the inside. We have to focus on both things, simultaneously. I'm taking care...or at least, trying to take care of the web development from my end. We need more cooperation with quality. <BR/><BR/>About the moderators/'editors' etc, you may have a point, but then as 'M' (all the good names are taken aren't they, C?) points out: nobody else really has that same sense of responsibility towards the site that we do. At the end of the day, it's just going to be the 5 of us coming to the rescue. It's the sad truth in all this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06919606507400714532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9020890565726858158.post-72686587641902262532007-12-01T04:19:00.000+05:002007-12-01T04:19:00.000+05:00I know what you mean, clarice. but more responsibi...I know what you mean, clarice. but more responsibility lies with the moderators/editors. I do have a certain loyalty to DW but at the end of the day I don't think I have a real responsibility towards it either, you know? I'm trying to explain. I wouldn't dare hint at status change esp. in light of my current workload.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02232884298430211704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9020890565726858158.post-75864879498257304382007-12-01T01:48:00.000+05:002007-12-01T01:48:00.000+05:00I don't think the difference lies in "taking it se...I don't think the difference lies in "taking it seriously". I think its the attitude that differs. This may sound deranged, but its almost like the difference in attitude of tailors. We've all had tailors that try to weasel their way out of any alterations that one demands, not wanting to put in any extra effort. And then there are the ones who will do anything to give you the perfect finished product, because they take pride in satisfying their customers and the quality of their work. <BR/><BR/>Now its really upto you whether you want to keep going to the first guy, or just switch to the perfectionist. <BR/><BR/>I think we have to start being the being the bad guy pretty soon. And I don't just mean the moderators /"editors". I think everyone has a responsibility to make sure the quality of work showcased keeps improving. <BR/><BR/>Also, Maryam, I feel the facelift will go a long way in improving our image.S.W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04778112290421692071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9020890565726858158.post-28955725705400092162007-11-30T21:39:00.000+05:002007-11-30T21:39:00.000+05:00sorry, mp...i KNOW i need to step up. theres just ...sorry, mp...i KNOW i need to step up. theres just a lot going on right now...i have a short story about the emergency in the works...shall post tonight or tomm. yeah, i know i've eclipsed the deadline...<BR/><BR/>*sigh*M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02232884298430211704noreply@blogger.com
