BACKGROUND: 'H'zine is an interactive magazine aiming to engage citizens in the city as well as with one another. How will it do this? There will be a variety of content under different sections such as: Interviews: This is the only similarity in terms of features between the Hathian Observer and 'H'zine but with a focus on subcultures in the city as well as people from different types of background, aiming to promote their character profile (and thereby rp) in the community. Art: For photographers and artists this will showcase their entries and a themed contest will be a chance for them to win some recognition for their artwork as well as give people a chance to see their photographs/art in one easily accessible location. Feeling creative? Love taking pictures? The opportunity for you to take part in themed contests and have other people see your stuff would be here! Dating Review: The magazine will pay 2 people to go on a meal together in a local business and then have them come back to answer a set of questions about their date together which would be published in the magazine. Yes, this IS a blind date and throws together people who might not ordinarily meet and means that local businesses would be promoted as well as RP at those businesses. The idea is based off this link: http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/aug/02/blind-date-tom-isabel So for those who want to meet new people or are predators looking for a potential victim or serial cheaters this might be up your street! Fashion Blog: This section is for potential fashion bloggers and also features a Best Of category which will include: *Best Dressed *Best looking couple/single person *Best home This can also totally be used for ironic purposes 😛 Message Board: Want to get out a message to somebody under the anonymity of the magazine? (with or without the use of initials) Maybe you want to tip off somebody or warn them or spook them out or send them a romantic message? Maybe you want the cops to be clued in on something or maybe you want to mislead them? This could make your RP that lil bit more interesting. Scavenger Hunt: A way for people to explore the sim and surrounding sims as well as giving local businesses a chance to promote their product by giving away a prize to the lucky winner. While the idea for this magazine and the content is all mine, the lead position will be filled by Ginger (Edyn.Hoxley) who is behind the idea 100% and shares the same vision while being the one who will rent the actual office space!Inara Shen would take the role of Art Editor on board the magazine and we will have slots free for fashion bloggers and of course, we'll be featuring photographers if this is approved. The office space is needed as a place for distribution of the magazine and as well as a space for people to visit for interviews or information--giving and receiving, etc.

UNIQUE:

EXPERIENCE:I want to see this set up because I believe it will be a great way to promote creativity, RP and develop storylines. For those that know me, I've always tried to share RP and promote it, with experience of doing so when I wrote for the Hathian Observer, where I wrote stories that helped promote other people's profile in the community as well as rp and a chance to develop their stories while also gaining RP myself and meeting lots of different people through it. I have always loved to connect people together and share RP rather than just entertain myself only, I like the idea of increasing RP for groups of people and not just myself. If we can create a space for players to share their creative expression and promote their RP than that's ideal. We're not looking to start OOC drama but just push things in an interesting and different direction and give people opportunities for RP and having fun.
