Bringing you the News The Old fashioned Way




Header - Flux and Features!
This month we will be covering the activity Flux, and a bit more on these fun new features! All this newness may be overwhelming, but I'm sure us IFians can handle it!


Top Story -Guild Grand Openings!

Story by: PopeAlessandrosXVIII

This month sees the opening of the almighty Guilds! Playgrounds for the serious fans of Fantasy, Horror, Love, Art and Poetry, Humor, Sci-Fi, and Experimentation! Each Guild requires a small entree fee, and monthly dividends. The monthly fee is waived if you have an active Storygame in the section your Guild represents. For joining, not only do you get access to the Guild Hall of the Guild you join, but you also get your own little badge to put in your signature! These badges are a symbol of your dedication and love of your favorite genres, as well as tells others you have a place, or places you belong! You can be into up to 3 Guilds, no more, but there is no limit on which Guilds you can join. For more information, please check out the local announcements in their respective categorys in IF.

Here's the guild badges, neat ain't they?


They are the Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Horror, Romance, Humor, Experimental, and Poetry & Art Guild Badges respectively!


A Nod to the Tech Star!

Story by PopeAlessandrosXVIII, but thanks from all IFians

I know we all acknowledge that the push behind all the new upgrades is our esteemed Mayor, Thunderbird, but he is not the only one to thank. I've been asked to write this piece to extend the thanks and gratitude of all IFians to the man of the month, Ingrothechundyer! *Large round of applause and flowers* For those of you who have no idea what all he's done for us, the following is a small list of things he's completed for the good of all IF!

PS: I want to also take a moment to thank someone who set the stage for all of the wonderful growth we've seen recently, the person responsible for nursing a wounded city back to health, the caretaker of IF during its darkest of hours and the most reliable and supportive IFian to ever walk the streets: Crunchyfrog! Thank you for your legendary service to the city as Mayor! I think you've logged, overall, the most months in office so far. Congratulations... and thank you.


Victory Speech - Thunderbird

Story by: PopeAlessandrosXVIII

I've been asked to give a 'Victory Speech' for the IFQ. As with every other aspect of Mayoring, I'm more than happy to oblige, but time limitations may squeeze this into something less than spectacular Wink

We've had a lot of eras for IF. I remember the days BEFORE mayors were even instilled and Key was King and Mayor in one. Been a while since Smee stepped up to the first mayor role after a hard fought election season against Chinaren, who later proved to be a great mayor as well.

We've had some absentee mayors recently, leading to a lot of decline. Its too bad, but it can happen to anyone - life has a way of stealing us from the stages we WANT to be on and thrusting us into the ones it thinks we NEED to be on.

I suppose that would be my largest fear in taking this role, that RL would once again rear its ugly head and require I spend my focus elsewhere. So far, though it appears to have tried, more than once already, I continue to be able to stay here and attempt to drive us forward in the Mayoral seat.

When running for Mayor this election season, I voiced that concern, and you were all kind enough to give me a chance nevertheless. Thank you for the opportunity. This has been not only a fun role to take, but also proves endlessly daunting, yet can be extremely awarding as well.

Most importantly, I'm just hoping to get IF moving again, thriving, full of life and activity! We were seeing that for a bit but it fell off under a tsunami of RL issues that washed over the most active IFians. Lets not allow that to wash us away forever though. It was great fun seeing such activity here, and it was instantly contagious. We can bring that back just as easily as it began. And I'm hoping the Guilds can help a lot with that.

The guilds are fun guys. I've found we aren't seeing a lot of response to them opening yet but hopefully that's just a matter of so many not logging in much during the week... I pray that we see a lot more guild joins this weekend. Your guildmasters have done a lot to set up and establish these whole mini-districts in and of themselves and have a LOT waiting in the wings, waiting for little more than the swelling of member ranks. Additionally, members may add their own ideas and concepts to the guilds so don't walk in with the idea that you must keep your mouth shut... its a place to express and brainstorm! Guildmasters just lead the way on their own projects - doesn't mean you can't start some of your own!

Thank you for such a strong response to the New Districts. Its lovely to see that Speedgames work! Romance is a more attractive genre to write in than I had thought it might be, and Humor is more intimidating to give a try to than I would've imagined. (I still think it has a strong place here as we've seen a lot of great humor tales - we're just short on humor-centric authors at the moment.) Horror... we've seen some great work there already and I can only look forward to what more terrors may come.

I think that eventually, we'll see a gradual increase in the use of the Dark (18+) forums. The latter was introduced when we had a lot of new stories just beginning anyhow so all authors I think were already stretched to begin new tales. I'm sure we'll see them suddenly take off at some point... just takes one or two to foster that culture around them. We've seen such surges in adult-like material in the past (Mephistopheles/the Dark.)

So it has been an amazing explosion of activity that we've seen. And that's exactly what I hoped we could generate. But then again, I think we also overwhelmed most readers. We must, as authors, all keep in mind that the only way we can sustain a greater amount of activity is to be as supportive as we can. I ask all authors to read three to ten times as much as they write. Only in this way can we sustain greatness. Some sites have found ways to enforce this but we are freedom loving people here at IF. Lets not allow our freedoms to ensure the failure to uphold supportiveness for our fellows. (Ask not what IF can do for you - ask what you can do for IF! Wink )

There's a few mentions I'd like to hand out. First of all, some of the most amazing changes and growth we have seen on the site are 100% due to the efforts of one incredible and giving IFian who's praises cannot be sung loud enough.

Thank you Ingrothechundyer!!!

He has been granted the title of Royal Arch-Mage to reflect his mastery of the web magic that is enchanting our city with new features on a weekly (sometimes daily) basis. At some point, please take a moment to pm Ingro to let him know how thankful you are for his efforts. Couldn't take long to offer that could it? Nothing near as long as its taken him to sort through lines and lines of code to debug and uproot little errors we are getting, to install new modules, to sort out what problems those new modules have shown. Ingro has proven to be an IFian treasure. Thanks Ingrothechundyer Clapping !

Additionally, I'd like to thank the council. So far all of you have gone above and beyond what any council has done so far for IF. Your hard work certainly shows and the guilds are going to glow with life for it all.

Pope, my competitor in the Mayoral race. You've been a great and exceedingly helpful High Lord, always willing to aide whenever requested. I couldn't have asked for a better right hand man. All wins and losses in life are for a reason... and we make a great team just as we are I think. This is one awesome era for us, and for the city as a result of our great companionship. Thanks for all your help. You will make a fine Mayor yourself someday soon, I'm sure.

Key - thanks for giving us the City of IF. And may your vision carry on to greater and greater glory than ever before. Onward and upwards always, my friend! (oh, and you really need to join the Experimental Guild... we need your beautiful mind in there! Smile )

And, again, thanks to YOU, the citizens of IF. Thank you for arguing with me, for backing me, and for being brutally honest with me. But more than anything, thank you for BEING an IFian. For this, and this alone, I salute you and offer you a pledge of friendship. We are family here, and always happy to take on more brothers, sisters, cousins, grandparents, grandchildren and even distant kin. Truly, we have grown to a city. Now we just need to make sure as many lights are on in those windows as possible.

But whatever happens, just remember... it's partly your fault!



Comparison Interviews

Story by: PopeAlessandrosXVIII

A lot of different kinds of Poetry have been cropping up here in IF recently, and I'd like a moment to reveal some interesting interviews between two of our largest contributors. Not only are they great contributors, but they couldn't be more different in their styles and subject matters. Stein managed to hunt down HalfEmptyHero, and Angeal Pureheart for some interesting interviews.


~*~HalfEmpyHero Interview~*~


Stein: Hello there! I'm here for our scheduled interview. Rover?


Rover: Wuff *Whir click*


Stein: Alrighty then. Let's begin. First off, how are you today?


HalfEmpyHero: I'm fine, thank you.


Stein: I see. Now, on to the subject of our interview. Poetry. The readers would like to know, first off, what inspires your poetry?


HalfEmpyHero: I suppose my poetry is inspired usually by one of two things: rage and metaphysics. Anger is a grand motivator, and can produce wonderful things. But so can philosophy. There is an infinite amount of unanswerable questions in this world, and poetry can be a good venue to answer them. An of course loneliness is a great inspiration as well, for as Yeats puts it so nicely "The true poet is all the time a visionary and whether with friends or not, as much alone as a man on his death bed."


Stein: Mhm, next what, of your own works, is your favorite one and why?


HalfEmpyHero: As for my favorite work, it is difficult to choose as I despise them all. I'm relatively new to poetry, and don't feel that I have quite found it yet. I either strive to much to rhyme, and the poems become nearly meaningless, or I write prose with a capital letter at the beginning of each line. Although if I were to choose, I suppose it would have to be my latest one, America. While it straddles the line between prose and poetry, it has the most honest emotion of any of my other works.


Stein: Very good. Now, just an opinion thing here, what are your thoughts on structured poetry?


HalfEmpyHero: Forgive me for using yet another quite, but sometimes it simply fits. "I would as soon write free verse as play tennis with the net down" as Robert frost puts it. I'm not completely dismissive of free verse, but I do feel it can often times lead to low quality poetry.


Stein: Yes yes...Do you have any favorite poets or poems you'd like to mention? What do you like about them?


HalfEmpyHero: As I previously stated, I'm relatively new to poetry in general, so I haven't been exposed to enough of it to really find a favorite poet. However, what I have read of Tennyson, Yeats, and Sandburg I have liked. It was also 'Suicide in the Trenches' by Siegfried Sassoon that inspired, and gave name to 'The Hell Where Youth and Laughter Go'.


Stein: Heh, I see. Hmmm....Do you ever find yourself going back and "fixing" your poems?


HalfEmpyHero: I do go back and fix my poems at times, for as with any of my writing I am never satisfied. There is always a better way to put something. I try and to limit my "fixings" though, as the spontaneity is a large part of my poetry.


Stein: Really? That's interesting. Final question. What is your favorite form of poetry and why?


HalfEmpyHero: I don't really have a favorite form of poetry, I prefer that which can successfully share the emotion of the writer with me. Anything that can rouse my anger, put a tear in my eye, or paralyze me in a profound melancholy; that is what I desire.


Stein: *Stands* I thank you for your time! *Bows* Please keep up your wonderful works. C'mon Rover. "Heads for the door*


Rover: Wuff *Trots out after Stein*



*~*Angeal Pureheart Interview*~*


Stein: Hello there. I'm Stein, and this here is my dog Rover.


Rover: Wuff *Clicking and whirring sounds come from his head as ears come to attention*


Stein: Good boy. Now, Time for the interview. But firstly, how are you this lovely sunny day in IF?


Angeal: Doing well I suppose, aside from a slim depressed all is well.


Stein: Ah, yes. Now, on to the real first question. What kinds of poetry do you enjoy the most?


Angeal: My favorite kind is Iambic Pentameter. I try to get these as best I can but most of the times it does not like to work. I also prefer, as you can tell from my works, rhyme and love based poems.


Stein: Very good. Now, are there any poets here on IF you enjoy reading the works of? If so who, and what is you favorite poem of theirs?


Angeal: Well, to be honest I don't really have an opinion of others' poems. I read them sure but so for none of them really GRAB my attention.


Stein: Makes sense. I know this is rather obvious, but what over all is your inspiration for your poetry? Explain.


Angeal: Love mostly. When I think of love and the love that I share with all of those around me. I get inspired to write my poems. Most of my inspiration comes from the love I have for my boyfriend. When I love someone it is a very strong feeling that I feel. Even if they do not feel it back that feeling is still there.


Stein: Mmhmmm.....Now, this reporter has been told, you were reluctant to become a citizen here in IF at first, but now you seem to have found your calling! What exactly about IF makes you feel so open and free about expressing yourself through your poetry?


Angeal: Well the people are all mostly very nice. There are a few annoyances but those are few and far between. I never really thought myself a great poet but some seem to like mine. I try to be good with it.


Stein: I see. How often, if ever, do you go back and correct your works?


Angeal: I only go back and correct if there are grammar mistakes or spelling errors that someone points out. I am currently working on rewriting one of my poems at the request of a good friend.


Stein: Ah, now, opinion question, what do you think of structured poetry?


Angeal: It is ok for those who need structure but I just let my hand type and I never look at what has been typed until I am done. Then I will read it through and see if there are any changes that the brain would like to make.


Stein: So that's it, huh? Hmmm....Final question. What do you feel when you see the multitude of responses to your work? Explain.


Angeal: Well, considering there is not a multitude of responses and only one or two people I don't really feel anything for it. I supposed the strongest feeling I had was when it was "stickied". That honestly shocked me for I did not think it was good enough.


Stein: Well, thank you for your time! *Stands then bows* To be seeing you again! C'mon Rover.


Rover: Wuff *Wanders after Stein towards Lab*

Heavy Metal – Thunderbird – 8
Tempora Crepusculi – Shillelagh – 7
Line of Kavanagh – Andolyn – 6
SparkleSteps - Tikanni Corazon – 6
Run – Chinaren – 5


With it's strangle hold on first place, Heavy Metal by Thunderbird stands on it's top place proudly. Muscling it's way up from third place, Tempora Crepusculi by Shillelagh takes over second place. Falling down a spot, Line of Kavanagh by Andolyn is still holding strong to the top 5 spots. Sliding up a slot, SparkleSteps by Tikanni Corazon keeps up it's place hopping in the top five. And last but not least, Run. by Chinaren beats it's way into fifth place with a billy club.



All of these are dually recommended by this editor!

Top 5 Peek

Story by PopeAlessandrosXVIII

Thunderbird continuous to shock and amaze with his story Heavy Metal, and it's never ending twists, turns, dips, and dives around both modern technology, and spiritual energies. Shillelagh's newly revived Tempora Crepusculi shows the author's expansive knowledge on monsters and myths, while providing a stimulating tale of the perils of being a collage student, with the strangest friends. Filled with hot men for the masses, as well as one bodacious babe, Line of Kavanagh by one of our newest authors Andolyn, keeps your heart pounding with it's escalating climb towards a midevil clash between a princess, and her once prince. In SparkleSteps by Tikanni Corazon, a major clash lay on the horizon as out pint sized hero move ever closer to the destiny of elves and monsters fate laid out for him long ago. Mixing together the humor and horrors of geeks in time travel, Chinaren's Run. Continues to confuse and excite with it's collection of both serious and hysterical scenes and characters.



Love vs Lust Debate!

Story by PopeAlessandrosXVIII

This month I posed this following set of questions to my Fellow IFians:

“I can't say this for everyone, but most people enjoy at least a little romance in their reading material. A kiss here, a declaration of love there, it's all gravey. But when does it become too much? When does romance become porn? Can you have sex in a plot without it being "For adult's eyes only"?

Also, what defines romantic love for you in a story? Just because a guy "loves" a girl in the plot, does this automaticly make it romantic love?

And lastly, the two sides of the coin. Where one side is the loving bonds of friendship, and the other, the primal need for another's bare flesh. Can they be combined, or by their very nature, must they remain apart?”

It was an interesting collection of answers, and I'll post little snipets here of the many different answers.

“The thing about writing is that the reader can only get what is written in and between the lines, and nothing more. So you as the writer can concentrate on the physical details (which requires great taste and skill to balance the romance/eroticism), or you can focus on the emotional/energetic interaction during intercourse between the characters. The border between lust and love is all in the mind of the character and the portrait of him/her as the writer makes it. Lust requires the body, but sometimes the mind as well. On the other hand, love doesn't neccessarily require the physical, although it can be supplemented with it and flourish even more. When it comes to writing it, it all depends on the writer and his or her respective skills regarding the art of wordsmithing.” - Cyberworm


“There is no love, no true love at least. Speaking on the subject of romance in writing, I prefer to keep sex out of it. I may allude to it, but rarely feel the need to spell it out. Pornography is not art, it serves a far different purpose. Why must a writer dumb it down to the point where there is nothing left to imagine? It just becomes vulgar and tasteless. There are rare places where I find it acceptable, but they are few and far between. No, a love between a guy and a girl doesn't have to be sexual, although it usually is. As love is really just a rejection to change, as I previously stated, there is nothing stopping a man from loving a woman as he loves his sister. The problem with sex and friendship is society; the peoples of the world, or at least most of them, have come to a common consensus that love and sex walk hand in hand.” - HalfEmptyHero


“I dont think you can do that. A sex scene in a novel is always gonna be adult. Nothing you can do about it unless you want to make it lame by just saying : "They slept together". Seriously, no feeling at all then. I dont think you can get "true" friendship and a desire for flesh in the same relationship. Its either one or the other. My honest feeling is it cant be both. THAT combination would be REALLY rare.” - Vikas Muralidharan


“It becomes too much when it becomes an unnecessary footnote that detracts from the flow of the plotwork. It becomes too much when it breaches the overall tone of the tale. Romance becomes porn when the method of delivery begins focusing more on the physical play-by-play as if its a combat scene rather than an exploration of the feelings involved. You can have sex in a plot without it being for adults only but only IF it is left more to the imagination and insinuated more than explicit.


Communication and bonding and finding the need for each other in their lives IN ADDITION to some lustful tension is what makes the formula just right for romance. It is WHEN they are combined that we have romance, no? It is most certainly possible for there to be plutonic relations between men and women that are nevertheless very strong and very close. At the same time, it is equally possible for there to be raw and pure lust with little other value in the relationship. Often, one can open the door for the other... thus why some may find themselves so jealous of their partners when they see a plutonic relationship developing. And sometimes what begins as Lust alone can just as easily progress to something much deeper - sex tends to have a bonding effect that leads down that road.” - Thunderbird


“I'm actually not a big fan of romance put into other genres of literature. If it's a part of the plot, or a part of the author's intent, I'm usually okay with it. That being said, I hate the unspoken expectation that two main characters of the opposite gender must fall in love and get married by the end of the book/series. It's impossible for them to just be close friends or good buddies; nope, they gotta fall in love. The mainstream audience thinks that love makes a happy ending, and so you gotta throw it in. Censorship-wise, sex in a plot makes it adult-only. It is been my general understanding that a writer capable of true romantic love is a specialist, and they are seldom able to write anything else. Honestly, the fact that you're calling it a coin sums it up pretty nicely. You can never see both of them at a time, but they are undeniably related to each other.” - Shillelagh


“It becomes porn when the sex is merely gratuitous. Just because love is there does not mean it is romantic. I love my best friend but that doesn't not mean that it is romantic, even though we are of opposite genders. Love is tricky and there are many different types of it. Romantic love is one of a kind, developed from a bond of some sort. A true emotional bond that has a bit of lust strewn through it. They can be combined quite well. It is possible to feel lust and love toward's a good friend.And personally, in a romance I would like to see something like that, because to me it is quite relatable and close to reality. As is the common friends with benefits, which is not a bad relationship to have, for a short lived time. Long-term it crashes and burns.” - misterbiz

Business

Story by Kang

FBIA- IFians this month were being like Jim Cramer they were in a BUY! BUY! BUY! Kind of mood. Amazingly the index doesn't show it as the FBIA was +.96(+.05%) to close at 2128.00

SGM- The Stratagem index opens This month at 496.62

LGND- The legend index open this month at 35.3

Oddling average- The ASS has recalculated the deadweight into oddling and deadweight averages in hopes of not misleading the inactivity in the city.

The oddling average is at 66% ... Meaning that 344 of 524 IFians are either active or are hiding in Land of Odd

As for the Deadweight, which has been determined as No activity at all, it is at 13.2% which hopefully gives the council some optimism. New ventures into facebook and other advertising has so far yielded little result.

I'd love to have my name on the IFQ, but unfortunately, I wasn't a part of the Love vs Lust debate. You put up Vikas' quote and attributed it to me. Please change that.

Otherwise, I thought it was a fantastic issue... as always.
