FidoGazette Submission Categories

There's quite a few catagories you can put your article into to be
published. Below are all the catagories with explainations. If
you're not sure, just save it as <name>.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.

A column where you can discuss Fidonet history.

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!

Have a free service to offer or a free event that might be of
interest to fellow sysops? Let everyone know in here.

This is for items that you have for sale. No commercial ads,
please! Remember, caveat emptor (buyer beware).

you need.

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
