  Editorials for May 7, 2000  

  And the Trumpets Shall Sound  


Well, looks like I got stuff to explain or something. Apparently people had some qualms with the way Kiah did eds and all, criticism, etc. I'd like to apologize to anyone who felt that his intent was to besmirch your reputation or to slander you. He meant it all as constructive comments to help people judge what goes into his criteria for editorial posting.

So since people think that he fell short, I'm going to undertake a mammoth epic task. I am going to try to post every single last editorial in my inbox and give comments about them, since I haven't been responding to e-mail much recently. It's been Hell week with finals and whatnot. So I'm going to try to make it up to you in the coming updates as classes wind down, and my free time returns with a vengeance.


In addition, the FF6 eds will be up in here, for all those of you who requested to see them. So that should settle that loose end. Another loose end would be the obscenity editorial. The editorial said to request the author for the files, and therefore I didn't take the time to send them out, even though there were few requests. I apologize for that. If you still want a copy of that editorial, please e-mail the author.

That should just about cover it. I have a LOT of editorials to HTMLize before I can get to writing my paper, so here it comes. Enjoy, please don't take my constructive criticism as me personally insulting you. I am taking the time to do this in order to improve the quality of editorials, not to make you feel that you'll be ridiculed if you do submit.

    Well, that was quite possibly the longest I've ever spent doing this, ever. So please, PLEASE send me feedback. I was not out for blood, and I'm trying to give you guys an idea of what I usually do for this job. If you like it, if you don't like it, if you like the comments I made this week, tell me, please, I'm just an e-mail away...

    For anyone who possibly felt hurt or dejected by my comments, I'm sorry. There were a few less-than-nice ones... Overall, I am ECSTATIC with the amount that editorials have increased. I have you guys to thank, for sending me wonderful character and plot analysis, along with miscellaneous tidbits about everything that have made my two months working here fun.

    I'm very open to suggestion, please just let me know. I've honestly gotten about 4 non-flame feedback letters, which isn't that much ;) I want you to flood my mailbox, please! :)
