The Magazine Thread

Oh, I see.  How odd.  Still, it does translate, in an odd way...I could probably find my German-English dictionary and see if there is anything better, but I doubt there is, somehow...

[Adios]

I don't know how much I could contribute from the writing side but I am interested in helping.

[LMNO]

Why not call the blog "aftermath"?  Since that seems to be the next age we're heading towards.


Or maybe "Beamtenherrschaft", since that seems to be where we are now.

[Cain]

I'll check availability.

[Cain]

Aftermath is taken, for the domain. I'm hesitant about using the German form, simply for the look of it.

[LMNO]

Ah.  Point.

Would any synonyms have the same feel?

[Cain]

aftereffect, alternation, causatum, chain, close, closing, conclusion, consecution, consequence, continuation, development, effect, end, ending, epilogue, eventuality, finish, finishing, issue, order, outcome, part two*, payoff, progression, result, row, sequence, sequent, series, spin-off*, termination, train, upshot

Which are all crap.

agitation, anarchism, anarchy, brawl, bustle, chaos, clamor, commotion, complication, convolution, discombobulation*, discord, disorganization, distemper, disturbance, dither, entanglement, fight, flap, fracas, fuss, hubbub, hullabaloo*, imbroglio, insurrection, lawlessness, mayhem, misrule, mob rule*, quarrel, rebellion, revolution, riot, rioting, ruckus, rumpus, static, strike, terrorism, tizzy*, trouble, tumult, turbulence, turmoil, unrest, unruliness, uproar

Some of these have potential, however.  Something-insurrection may work well.

How bout The Uproar?

Anyway, as far as contributing I do have experience in magazine editing so I'd be more than happy to help out in that regard, plus contributing some writing as I can. 

[Cain]

Of course, all we really need is a snappy and memorizable url.  Once we have that, we can call it Aftermath.

Sorry, I only slept 3 hours last night.

Right, those of you interested should sign up to wordpress.com, then PM me with the email you used to sign up.  However, we may want to sort out who wants to take a more active role and those who feel like kicking back and being an occasional contributor, because I don't know if I can change your status once you're added.

[Cain]
