I'm thinking of doing a short column entitled Horrormirth.  Probably mostly current events.

I think the Horrormirth of current events would be a great topic for a column.

This is where you say,


"I'm interested in writing a regular column for Intermittens about ______.

or "I'm interested in being a staff member who ______" (draws art) (lays out magazine) (distributes magazine to five or six different websites)

I'm interested in being a staff member who makes a copy of this and makes an index of back issues, and if you want an email sent to 2600+ people registered to the site about it that could be arranged.

http://namcub.accela-labs.com/stories/ebooks/MITTENS/persov.txt <-- would probably be nice for a politically themed issue

http://namcub.accela-labs.com/stories/ebooks/MITTENS/aum-ega.txt <-- a load of BS from an altered state. Put it anywhere that could be followed by some form of "Do you believe that?"

More coming later -- I just have to look through my material. If any poetry is needed, I have shitloads, most of it really really shitty: http://namcub.accela-labs.com/lyrics/

I am not "full of hate" as if I were some passive container. I am a generator of hate, and my rage is a renewable resource, like sunshine.

What's the next theme?

That's up to Payne (or another editor, if someone beats him to it). When he has his thoughts collected, he'll start a thread for the issue and we'll all chime in with what we can do.

And as of right now, intermittens features columns written by:


  • Cainad - Lulz cutups
  • Hoopla - Advice Column / Glorious Antics
  • Roger? - hatecolumn
  • RWHN? - ????

Well, I wrote a Shrapnel-themed piece while I was in the woods the other day.  Not sure if I would be doing a regular Shrapnel-column though.  I think I'd attempt to come up with an appropriate pun or two as well.

I hate you for doing this while I'm in the middle of writing a novel.

Do what I'm doing and just grab whatever you're writing for other stuff and work it into the novel somehow. As long as you write it in november, it counts.

I would be happy to contribute to Intermittens, I just doubt my writing will be good enough, lol.
To be honest, I'm more interested in just getting some inspiration, so's i can write more.
I don't write enough at the moment, so I need to practise...

Cramulus

I'm sure there are a million ways you can contribute without writing a regular column. Are you any good with graphics? Designing puzzles? Quizzes?  maybe a "word of the week" column or something that doesn't take much actual wordsmithing?

I'm in to do whatever is needed.  I can type, I've done some desktop publishing, and I am great at finding quotes that match a theme (Horrormirth).  Just let me know what needs done, I will give it my best shot!!!

Oh, I do photoshop collages as well.  I should have mentioned that.  And I can draw ok.

I've always thought that it'd be fun to take some of the questions from Billy Graham's daily column and answer them from a Discordian perspective.  I'd be willing to do something like that for a couple of issues.

Where does BG's daily column appear? I'd like to read it, just so I could have a comparison.
