Subj : FidoGazette Article Categories To : All From : Sean Dennis Date : Wed May 04 2022 03:15 am FidoGazette Submission Categories Updated 30 March 2022 ====================================================================== There's quite a few categories you can put your article into to be published. Below are all the categories with explainations. If you're not sure, just save it as .MSC and I'll try to put it in the appropriate category. *.GUE Guest Editorial ---------------------- Have a comment, gripe or want to air your opinion about something in Fidonet? This is a forum for you, the Fidonet sysop, to do just that. There is to be no flaming, personal attacks, or vulgarity in your editorial. *.COR Corrections ------------------ Did you submit an article that needs a correction? Did I write something that wasn't correct? This is the place to do it. *.RTX Retractions ------------------ A place to put article/submission retractions. *.LET Letters to the Editor ---------------------------- Want to let me know what you think about one of my editorials, a guest editorial or an article that ran in the Gazette? Let me know here so everyone can see. *.FNF Fidonet News Flash ------------------------- Current happenings in Fidonet. This could be anything, including a node going down for a while, a node leaving or better yet, a node joining Fidonet. This is for any sysop who has something important about Fidonet to put out to avoid technical problems. *.ART Articles --------------- This is for things that just don't fit in any of the other catagories. This is for general articles that aren't specific in any way, but fit into the Fidonet spectrum. *.COL Columns -------------- Would you like to be a regular columnist for the Gazette? Send me a note and we'll talk. I'm sure other sysops would enjoy a regular columnist or two. *.BIO Fidonet (Auto)Biographies -------------------------------- Tell us your story about how you got into Fidonet. *.TRU True Stories of Fidonet ------------------------------ Have an interesting, funny or unusual story to tell that involves Fidonet directly? Here's the place to share it. *.HIS Fidonet History ---------------------- A column where you can discuss Fidonet history. *.FFT Food For Thought ----------------------- One of my personal favorites. This column is all about food! Anything having to do with food is welcome here, such as: recipes, how-to, unusual food/ingredients, recommended stores and/or websites concerning food-it's all welcome. I would ask that if possible, you could submit the recipe in MealMaster format if possible. If you're not sure what MM is, ask in the COOKING or HOME_COOKING echoes. *.REV Reviews -------------- Read a book, watched a TV show, viewed a website, use a program or something else that would be of interest to other Fidonet sysops? Submit your honest reviews here and let the rest of us know what you thought. *.FTC Getting (Fidonet) Technical ---------------------------------- Technical issues dealing with Fidonet, such as FTSC specifications, setting up/using programs, et al. *.ZRC Coordinators' Corner --------------------------- This column is for any *C that needs to get word out to the general Fidonet population. I will check the nodelist to make sure that anyone who submits to this article is a nodelisted *C. If you're not, I will return your submission. *.JOK Clean Net Humor ---------------------- Yeah, we can all laugh at ourselves sometimes or if you have a good funny joke (or puns, I /LOVE/ puns-the punnier the better! :), tell it here. Please keep it clean (PG-rated) and no vulgarities. *.TOW Thought Of The Week ------------------------- Do you have a favorite quote or quip from someone that you'd like to share? Let us know. *.ASA ASCII Art ---------------- Have some cool ASCII art? Let us see it! *.AD Advertise Your Free Service/Event ---------------------------------------- Have a free service to offer or a free event that might be of interest to fellow sysops? Let everyone know in here. *.SAL For Sale --------------- This is for items that you have for sale. No commercial ads, please! Remember, caveat emptor (buyer beware). *.WAN Wanted ------------- Need a piece of equipment you just can't find? Let the Fidonet sysops know and the chances are good that someone will have what you need. *.QST Question of the Week --------------------------- Have a question you just can't answer? Submit it to the Gazette and the crack knowledgeable staff *cough*, er I'll try to hunt down and answer for you. Better yet, you put it in here and one of our crack knowledgable sysops can help you. *.ANS Answer of the Week ------------------------- The companion column to the above column. I'll publish the best answer(s) here to the Question of the Week. *.NOT Notices -------------- This is where you can let people know something's happening that you need to let a lot of people know about. If you can't find a category to put it under, put it under *.MSC and I'll try to find a category to put it under. Please see ART_SPEC.DOC on how to submit an article to the FidoGazette.
