Goat Gazette, the voat community newsletter, is now seeking submissions.

submitted by Broc_Liath to GoatGazette 3.8 yearsJul 25, 2021 09:25:20 ago (+25/-0)     (GoatGazette)*

Some ideas:

White pill content:
Short stories (1000-4000 words)
 Flash fiction (<1000 words)
Snippets of history (1000-4000 words)
 Serialised novellas (1000-4000 words per episode)

Practical content:
Recipes
 DIY projects and photo essays
Fashion
 Prepping and innawoods
Almanack (tides, dates, moons etc.)

News:
 News digest
Factual articles (1000-2000 words)
 Interviews (500-1500 words) (may be censored or edited to avoid doxx or remove incriminating content)
Reports from the Front (1000-2000 words) (Descriptions by goats from around the world of conditions in their area, may be censored or edited to avoid doxx)

Art:
 Photography
Well crafted memes
 Cartoons
Political satire (like zyklon ben)
 Lyrics, with or without sheet music

Entertainment:
Puzzles (crosswords, mazes, wordsearch etc.)
 Film reviews (~500 words)
Book reviews (~500 words)
 Horoscopes

Classifieds:
Subverse ads
 Online social events (like guitar fridays or movieswithgoats)
Competitions
 Humerous fake ads
Giveaways
Ads which involve anything IRL, like physical products, dating, meetups etc. won't be run.

 Currently planning to run as a quarterly. Goats willing to make a regular contribution are particularly welcome but one offs are fine too.

Original content is preferred, but it's perfectly fine to share existing material like a recipe you found that worked out particularly nicely or an old story you particularly enjoy. Try to avoid copyrighted content, if this takes off I'd prefer not to be doxxed via DMCA.

 I also plan to invite a handpicked goat once a month to write a political piece, just one though: I don't want that to become the entire newsletter.

A goat pointed out security issues with PDF, so we'll likely release in a CBR format.

 For now I'm not planning to include anything involving instructions to create weapons, especially explosives, but unfortunately also guns as I don't want to get V&.

* Letters to the editor are welcome under 200 words. I will probably also recruit a co-editor at some point.

Wonderful!

Unsticky/Unpin your post for a day or so... known bug prevents it from showing up in v/All

[ - ] Broc_Liath [op] 3 points 3.8 yearsJul 25, 2021 11:24:00 ago (+3/-0)

Done!

Actually, come to think of it that was a feature on old voat to stop subverse owners farming votes from their subcribers to pick which posts made it to /v/all.

[ - ] Cynabuns 3 points 3.8 yearsJul 25, 2021 11:25:28 ago (+3/-0)

There were soooo many tricks that got used to farm it was nuts.

[ - ] Broc_Liath [op] 3 points 3.8 yearsJul 25, 2021 11:29:28 ago (+3/-0)

Yeah, I remember the CCP farms and accounts. I'm sure you saw all kinds of other things.

[ - ] Cynabuns 2 points 3.8 yearsJul 25, 2021 11:34:27 ago (+2/-0)

Yes

Ah yes, the 1000 bot stare.

Did you not know you could trade your points for neato stuff?! Why, for only 100k CCP, you'd have the swankiest set of oven mitts on the block!

Yeah I didn't actually see this post until I found it on the channel.

It might be nerfed from me stickying it now.

That'd be pretty cool! Would you like it to be a one-off or a recurring thing?

That's a great idea Broc!

Thanks, I'd love anything you'd like to submit. You could probably contribute to the reports from the front feature if you're interested.

[ - ] Zinnsee 3 points 3.8 yearsJul 25, 2021 13:28:18 ago (+3/-0)

Sure can do. I'll keep my mind open for good ideas/contributions.

Me too! Watch the sub. I'm going to put up polls over the next few days to decide the shape of the thing.

Here is probably easiest to keep track of, unless it's a surprise.

Broc, I really want to write up stories of my family and friends, as they related it to me. What is the submission process?

[ - ] Broc_Liath [op] 0 points 3.8 yearsJul 25, 2021 21:09:10 ago (+0/-0)

Write one up and send it to me. Make sure it's not too revealing though: Don't doxx yourself. I'll be putting up some polls on the sub over the next few days to get an idea of what exactly people want.

If you've a lot of stories that's even better, we could make them a regular feature.

[ - ] we_kill_creativity 1 point 3.8 yearsJul 25, 2021 15:34:46 ago (+1/-0)

Something I've gotten into lately is the idea of, not so much reading about history (written today), but actually reading history...like, reading material about a certain even written at that time.

So instead of reading about the civil war in a book written today, reading about the civil war in a book written in 1865 or something like that. Most of that stuff should be outside copywrite, right?

A sort of feature called "History as it Happened"...something like that. Not just books, but anything really. Transcripts of congressional testimony, radio interviews the day Pearl Harbor happened, etc.

Primary documents

[ - ] Broc_Liath [op] 0 points 3.8 yearsJul 25, 2021 15:39:36 ago (+0/-0)

That sounds really cool! If you wanted to write an article like that it'd be awesome. Or even just a lit review bringing existing articles together.

[ - ] we_kill_creativity 0 points 3.8 yearsJul 25, 2021 15:44:57 ago (+0/-0)

Yeah, something to think about. When do you expect the first issue to come out and what would be the deadline for submissions? (Roughly)

[ - ] Broc_Liath [op] 0 points 3.8 yearsJul 25, 2021 15:45:54 ago (+0/-0)

Currently planning november as the first quarter. I'm going to put up a poll later seeing how often people would be willing to contribute/interested to read.

[ - ] paul_neri 0 points 3.8 yearsJul 26, 2021 03:45:11 ago (+0/-0)

Seems a good idea. Maybe it could contain a register of goats?

Feel free to use this for your tech section https://www.voat.xyz/viewpost.php?postid=60fdf3db17f36

[ - ] Broc_Liath [op] 0 points 3.8 yearsJul 26, 2021 04:22:57 ago (+0/-0)

Kek, thanks. I'm trying to keep it more like a community newsletter though. I'm limiting myself to one political article per month.

Would you be interested in rewriting it as a review of the nonkiked search engines?

[ - ] Kozel 0 points 3.8 yearsJul 26, 2021 04:49:45 ago (+0/-0)

I'm more interested in making an actual news/media site. I can make the site, and I can write some articles, but I can't write nearly enough, and if I even try to submit the articles everyone will just blacklist me and the site as spammers (even voat).

Furthermore, that site will get hacked, and then every author's IP/email/whatever will be leaked, and some shit like leakedresource will be used to grief the submitters in real life.


@try chime in here

Where do Submissions get sent? Your box is gonna be bloated, if all to you?

I have some recipes. And I dig the serials/short fiction idea.

[ - ] Broc_Liath [op] 0 points 3.8 yearsJul 25, 2021 15:38:48 ago (+0/-0)

For now just chat here if you want to work on something. In the medium term I'll probably make separate threads. In the long term... maybe an element server or something.

[ - ] i_scream_trucks -1 points 3.8 yearsJul 25, 2021 14:59:53 ago (+1/-2)

use lube and maybe bite down on a stick or something.

your ass isnt going to enjoy submitting to me.
