Calling for submissions and links!

The Chronicle Live is still open for business and we are compiling a page of links to picture collections and individual posts and reports.

If you have a set of pictures online and you are happy for us to link to them please send the link to me at:


If you use flickr for you pictures, please add the DWCon2010 tag as this will be one of the links we list.


Links to reports, plus any content/reports/articles you have for the Chronicle Live can be sent to me at:


We can upload reports for you to the main Chronicle for current and future members to enjoy, just as we did last time. Don't be shy - the bigger the range of people and articles the more interesting it is for our members and those who are tentatively considering dipping a toe in convention waters.

It also acts as an aide memoire for those who had brief moments of being tired and emotional :-)

Have you got news for us?

Welcome to The Chronicle Live. This is the journal we produced day by day not just for the inmates^Wmembers but also to share the event with our fellow fans stuck outside in the
Roundworld as well as to enjoy as part of the retrospective.

This year, the chair of the Editor in Chief of this glorious news medium has been taken over by us, the deputies of The Honourable Company of Journalists, Clackspersons and Gossipmongers (luckily, the chair is quite wide, so we're not too squished).

THIS SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN TO MEAN THAT WE ONLY WANT GUILD MEMBERS WRITING FOR IT!

Quite the contrary, in fact. We want as many conventioneers as possible to take part. And we eagerly accept any and all kinds of contributions[1]: text, pictures, videos, sound recordings... we want it all!
So if too few people were at that amazingly interesting panel you were at, or if something mindblowingly astonishing happened on your way to Terry's Bedtime Story? Write a piece about it and let everybody know!

Don't have an electronic device on which to write your piece? Borrow one from us, or write your piece on paper - we'll type it up (within reason; no three part novels).
Have an urge to write, but no ideas? Come see us - we're bound to have ideas for things you can write!
Have an idea for what you want to read, but no time to write it? Swing by to tell us, and we'll see if we can find someone else who wants to write it.
Want to help out, but don't want to write anything? Swing by, and you can help us type up, edit, or otherwise make the operation run smoothly.
Good at layout? Come and help select pieces for printing up to the noticeboards!

We hope many of you will provide us with material to publish, and that all of you will enjoy this years' Chronicle Live,

Otto and Elias (eds.)

[1] That we can legally and technically publish on the blog. Sorry, no
"interesting" anatomical sculptures.

Nearly there!

Looking forward to seeing you all on the 27th!

Closed for Submissions

The Chronicle Live is now closed for submissions. There will, however, be a little bit of polishing going on in the corners to make this a nicer place for people to (re)visit the memories. :-)

For the photo fans, the photo links page is still going! Check it out and please drop them a line if you've got a collection that you'd like linked.

Welcome

Once again, welcome to the Chronicle Live! Stay tuned as we bring you news of great programme items, fabulous costumes, cool guild activities and other random happenings during the Discworld Convention 2008.

DWCon officially runs from Friday 22 August 'til Monday 25 August. However, a small entree might be served here on Thursday. Prospects for dessert after the Con look pretty good as well. So, pop us in your bookmarks or RSS reader now if you want to follow the fun. Or hit refresh every five minutes if you're feeling particularly Con-deprived. :-)

We look forward to seeing you soon.
