The University of the East Pacific Presents: The East Pacific 1st Annual Issues Drive!
2) Go to Got Issues? and read the pinned threads | 3) Start writing | 4) Incorporate feedback | 5) Submit Issue From today, March 16th, to September 16th, if you publish an issue in that timeframe and let us know about it, you not only get a nice issues author badge and bragging rights, but also a special prize from UTEP!
Here are the rules:
Ideally, you should enter the University Discord server
here, where all our resources are posted.It has to be published at the specified time frame. Past issues will not count (although congratulations on writing an issue!)
It must be drafted within the
Got Issues? forum. You may write two or more concurrently (especially in case one takes a lot longer than the other), but you will only get one prize.
Tips and Recommendations:
Be as humorous as possible within the issue. Just enough to remember it’s a serious issue, but no one wants to answer a boring issue.
Humor is doubly important with effect lines.
Regarding effect lines, they are viewed by the outside player as:
Following new legislation in @@NAME@@, insert effect line here
Thus, to make sense, don’t put something in the effect lines that you introduce in the issue.It may take a while to get people to post on your thread. You could join the GI? Discord server and ask politely for feedback, or eventually one of the regulars or editors might see it and suggest changes.
As I mentioned before, drafting an issue can take a while, so if you have time, I’d suggest trying to write 2 or 3 at once and keep backup ideas, in case they fall through.
It can take a while for your issue to be polished and ready to go, and with countless other drafts in the forum, it will constantly fall back a page or two. If so, you can bump it.
Editing also takes a while, so please submit the issues at least a month before the deadline.
This is one of the advantages of having multiple issues drafted. If one is submitted faster than the other, then it will likely be looked at faster. If one takes a longer time to edit, having two or three in the issues pool increases your chance to have one accepted issue by the deadline.
The Got Issues? Discord server is here, you can talk to other writers there!
Good luck and happy writing!
