*In regards to news being mentioned as being done by sysops and 'crats, it is usually preferred that news related to the wiki and/or [[The Sims series]] is delivered by those users but in the case of the newsletter, which is going to be run by two non-sysops, I don't see a problem with letting you guys do the news by yourselves. That said, I'm willing to help out on the news section if you want me to so that it looks like a "sysop or a crat" is doing it - it's up to you. :) {{GGsig}} 14:58, December 2, 2011 (UTC)

*:By news, I meant admin news, as in what's going on with the wiki.

*Are you guys planning on keeping the system where a reviewer ([[user:DanPin|DanPin]] from a guess :P) will still review someone's fanon upon request?

Hello TSW! It is I, Mr. Totaldramaman, or MTDM. You probably don't know me unless you're an avid IRC user on the #wikia-sims channel. So, since lots of you don't know a thing about me, let me introduce myself. I'm MTDM, of course. I'm a brony 8), a gleek 8), I have a TS3 family 8), I don't own any EPs 8(, and I like other shows that don't have a fan term.
Anyways, onto the reason of this thread. The Newsletter. The editor, BobNewbie has indirectly retired from TSW (through email, if I recall correctly). I don't want to go into it right now, because I don't know anything about it, so if you didn't know, he... retired. :|
Anywho, we can't let this wiki have no newsletter, right? Right. >.> So, I've made this forum to discuss revamping the newsletter. I've decided on some categories we can use for this new, revamped, newsletter. If you have any ideas, please talk about it in the categories section. Here are my ideas:
TSW side:
News. (Done by sysops and crats, right?)
Featured User Interview.
The Sims game review.
Horoscopes. (CALLED IT.)
Highlights.
Comics.
Advice collumn.
etc.
Fanon side:
Featured Fan fiction interview. (Interview for author about his/her fic.)
Featured Fanon interview. (An interview of the character/family played by the author!)
Featured Author interview.
New fanons.
Fanon reviews. (GG's idea.)
etc.
Good ideas? I can't seem to think of anything more for fanons, so please state your ideas here. And, the editor? In my honest opinion, I think DanPin and I should be the two in-command. DanPin because he's been an amazing contributor to the past newsletters, and myself because I'm a Grammar Nazi. And I can't stand bad spelling (If you see any bad spelling here blame my iPod. <.< xD). If you agree with my choice, or disagree, please support/oppose/nominate here.
