Editor's Comments

   You guys rock. You really do. My email swells with nifty editorials for posting. We're growing by leaps and bounds here and it's good to see some new bright faces. This week, John Boske, better known as Karlinn from the forums, gives his thoughts on video game fanfiction as well as touching upon what we go through for a bit of entertainment in games. Drew Robarge makes his first appearance on the column, starting a bit of a historical analysis of what was written in the past as well as arguing against the ESRB ratings. Finally, Dustin Windes takes a moment to give tribute to the Luigis in all of us. Good stuff folks and keep sending them in and remember to add [Editorials] to the subject so I can get them as fast as possible. We're also still looking for our final addition to the editorials writing crew. Think you got what it takes? Send me an e-mail.

    I've also have two special announcements. This week we're planning on kicking of Editorials Hour in #edscorner@irc.esper.net. This Wednesday from 9:00-10:30 PM EST, we'll be holding a group writing session there where we'll be around to help out with editorials, give comments, help with brainstorming and generally just meet some of you guys. Drop on by and join us. Also, for those concerned with some of the writing quality of previous Editorials, we're working on our end to get that improved. Keep an eye on it.

    The second, possibly not as exciting to everyone but still great, John "Karlinn" Boske joins the editorials team as my assistant editor. He'll be helping me to bridge the gap between requiring everyone to be a stellar writer and providing the most pleasant reading experience for you readers. In other words, his job is to help me make you guys look great.

    Just as a final note, after finishing this, I checked my email. Two new editorials for next week. You guys totally rock. Keep 'em coming.
