Interested in joining the SWU News Group? Want to write reports based upon the galaxy our characters currently occupy?
Applying to join the news group is quite a simple process. All you have to do is to make sure you’re dedicated enough to commit to posting articles/reports on a fairly frequent basis and then submit a sample article to DreadPirateMike via PM.
Title the PM ‘News Group Application’ and make sure that the sample you supply is an IC Star Wars article. I suggest you take a look at the articles that have been posted up in order to get a sense of the style we’re looking for.
The sample doesn’t have to be on an event from SWU RP itself, it could be regarding a historical Star Wars event (say an article from around the time of the films and the Jedi Purge) or it can be a made up Star Wars event. It doesn't have to star your intended reporter, but it is recommended you do. We will be looking for things such as realism and the ability to get the point across efficiently with whatever political spin/bias that may be intended. It needs to written as if the event had only recently taken place, or something new that had expanded upon an older event. It needs to be done so that the ordinary every day citizens of the Galaxy would know/be able to understand. So remember, most citizens don’t really know how the Jedi’s inner most systems of recruitment work for example. Audience is the most essential part.
As well as the IC news report/article, if you wish to give explanations of the things you have done/tried to do or if you wish to tell me what kind of angle you’ve tried to take on it (ie, have you written an article that sides towards one faction more than another, either subtly or bluntly).
I’m not going to give a minimum or maximum length for these as that will be left entirely up to you, though the current articles give a good estimation as to the desired length.
If you have any questions please go ahead and ask.
