FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

We can decide more in january 2015. Vote once for the four choices, Editor-in-chief, almanac, magazine and magazine page numbers. Can we leave it here or on the pools section ?

One small question: Who writes the articles? Obviously some people are going to know more about some types of plants than others. And what about pictures? Are those put in as well?

That was three questions actually. Two more: I assume that the content will be things such as tests as to feeding of plants, etc.? And next, should there be another person as second in command editor if Whoever the editor is gets bogged down? For instance, Matt and Leah have a lot of work to do running FTS. If it gets to be too much, Will there be a person to take over until they can get back to it?

Thanks for any answers! I do realize that how often the magazine appears will make a difference for how much work there is to do.

This is a really good idea, I hope it works well!

I would help the preliminary editing of a magazine.

The articles could be written by members and submitted to magazine writers.

I could also help categorizing and formatting, as well as working on other projects.
Let's not lay all the work on the store owners, it's the community that's going to make this happen, not Matt and Leah.

@Katya a magazine writers takes stories from members and organizes/assembles them in an interesting way. They form a story with the articles submitted to them by members. Essentially the person writing the magazine would be like a journalist for a newspaper, not necessarily including that style or formatting.

I imagine the content to be somewhat fly trap care forum related, and somewhat carnivorous plants as a whole (other forums, plant discoveries, new CP vendors, CP experiments [regarding soil, feeding, etc.]).

Tish, I know you started this and expect Matt and Leah to do the editing, but that's not realistic.

If this were to go down we'd need some one who could make it visually coherent, I'm not great with that so hopefully some one with that kind of background can chime in.

I can conduct necessary interviews with members also.

My wife went to school for journalism with a strong emphasis in design and layout. I'm sure I could (politely) ask her for help We already have all of the necessary software to organize and arrange everything.

This is really coming together I can do anything needed.
