A Plea

By Alan Kellogg
December 12, 2001 · 1 minute read
Ladies and gentlemen, I come to you with a plea. I started writing for GO in part to encourage others to write. I figured you would either say, "I can write as well as he." and contribute, or say, "I can write better than that." and contribute. Hasn't worked. Not even feedback.

So I'm going to ask you up front, write something.

Put together an adventure, write up your group's last foray, wax vitriolic re the last bag of dreck you picked up at your FLGS. WRITE SOMETHING!!!

[grouch]You'd think it was illegal to be creative the way some of you act.[/grouch]

To get traffic GO needs content. To get content GO needs more writers. You're involved in a creative hobby, now is the time to start putting those ideas down and sending them in.

And don't forget the forums. Without feedback how do you expect me and Joseph to improve? (Not that he needs to:)).

Folks, if I can get published on this site, think of how much better your chances are. Signing up to be a GO author is easier than you would think, and contributing is almost as hard. So contribute and help make GO a better place.

Alan
