Alliance Columnists wanted

Hello again folks and folkettes ;o)

I hope you all had a good Christmas and a happy new year.

I am opening columnist applications for a short time, BUT I will be processing any applications on the 7th Jan. Sorry for the short notice but I have been informed we have to move quickly. Plus you have a weekend.

There are going to be 4 main sections on the portal.

Alliance – stuff like politics, how they developed - Alliance Discussions type stuff)
Opinion – (about events in the Planetarion Universe, announcements, speedgames etc)
Strategy – (stuff like strategy, 72hour plans, analysis of stats and game features, how to take advantage of the way that the game evolves etc)
Fiction – (humour, stories, songs etc)

If you feel you can write regularly for any of these sections. I would be looking for column updates at least once a week.
I will be working on a one-chance system. So fail once and your off the columnist list.
All columnists will receive more information once they are accepted.

The Content of the columns obviously needs to be interesting enough to make people want to read it.

If you don’t think you will be able to update frequently enough all is not lost. There will be regular guest columns. HOWEVER I am not accepting applications for guest columns at this time. Any people sending guest columns will be noted down and dismissed due to their inability to read ;o)

If you are still reading hopefully you are interested ;o)
What I am looking for in a column is :

- Good Strong enjoyable or interesting content
- Good Spelling and Grammar
- Dedication to the Portal

Please note that the columns have to be suitable for ALL age groups.

If you are still interested in writing for the portal then please email me at

[email protected]

Include the following :
- a sample post sent as an attachment (in either .doc or .txt format)
- in the main body of the email. Your Name, IRC Nickname (P Auth), and a contact email address you will be contacted if you application is successful.
- The Subject of the email must been the column section you wish to write in. (eg : Opinion)


If you need any help or have any questions please feel free to email me on the above address or contact me on IRC my nickname is DragonLord.

Good Luck
