Hey, my name is Lilly Knight, and I have a suggestion today. If this should be in a different section, please tell me so that I can move it.

 

There is a Daily Prophet building in Diagon Alley, so it existed at one point. Well, there isn't one anymore (that I know of,) so I was wondering if me and some other people could start one up!

 

Basically, we would make a Discord channel, and we would have a few writers (myself included) to make articles. Then, we would have Editors to work on them, and then people to put them into books. We could possibly send out a preview for the first few days for people to see what the newspaper is like, and then players could pay for them.

 

Example of prices (not set yet:) 1 Galleon per issue (they would come out every day, if possible,) or 5 Galleons for a week (that's 7 issues!)

 

@MCguillotine would be an Owner, and I would most likely be a Co-Owner of it. We already have about 4 people asking to help with it.

 

I was wondering if it's possible to do this? I already have my head bursting with ideas for it, so if I could just get permission from one of the owners, that'd be great! Thank you!

This could be cool! I like the idea of discord as being an easy way to collaborate with other editors.

 

We had a Daily Prophet team at one point (and already have a headquarters set up in Diagon) but I don't think it ever took off, or the idea/team went inactive. I'm wondering if we actually create applications for people to apply into positions if we could get this back and running- also using your idea.

Thanks for the reply :)

 

I assumed that this would be allowed (no idea why it wouldn't xD) so I made the Discord channel. I interviewed Luxow and he's joined it, as well as Malcolm.

 

So, can we do it, or do you need to ask pande or somebody else? I hope we can!

this would be fine if we can have a staff member be in charge of editorial stuff.  We have a command that can just owl mail everyone a copy (it would be free tho).  I was planning on putting a daily prophet in for awhile.

Once I'm off MIA/done exams, I'd love to help out with this. I think my natural knack for role play could help the team for this keep everything as in role play as possible. :)

You made the discord channel ??????????????? You don't have the ability to make the discord channel in our discord.  If you made a channel that sounds like you did it off our network and advertising other discords is not permitted.

Lilly, this sounds great!  I hope to join the Daily Prophet team too, if possible!  I want to get more involved with things.  After all, I have access to MC every day! (Finally, took me long enough xD)

I didn't make it off of your network, at least I don't believe so. I don't really know how Discord works, but somebody was helping me and telling me what to click on to make it. I'm pretty sure I just made it off of normal Discord and I wasn't on a channel

You made a whole new discord. Not just a channel.
