Hurrah for a new age of the 667er probably. M has very kindly given the torch or hat or whatever he called it to me after smashing it for a number of years. My first issue will be published on August 31st LET’S DO THIS To lead us into the brave new world we need me obviously but also a team of some description to be at my beck and call. They're lumped into two groups, the staff lump and the regular columnists lump, and i’m now opening applications for them yay. no particular closing date, just going to fill what we can before we start putting the issue together in earnest but i’m sure there'll be a terrifying mad scramble.

STAFF POSITIONS AVAILABLE FOR YOUR PERUSAL
ASSISTANT EDITOR There will be two of these, and one of the positions has already been filled (by Mr M, who we had all hoped we were rid of) so apply for the other one before i change my mind. Being an assistant editor mostly involves sharing the proofreading load, helping me make decisions about future issues and salsa, possibly writing an editorial occasionally if we feel so inclined, and generally being my gofer, which will definitely be an extremely fun privilege.
DESIGNER This involves making banners to head up each article or section of the 667er, giving each part its own visual identity or something like that. Probably going to have just the one but i guess i’m open to the job being shared between two people since it can be kind of a lot of work, as I know all too well.
GAWKY EDITOR Nah yeah idk what to do with this one any more than you do. Tell you what if you want to generally help with stuff without having much responsibility, say so and pick an adjective and I’ll probably give it to you, at least for the time being.

COLUMNIST POSITIONS TIME Note that a) not all of these have to be filled every issue or at all b) i’m very open to them being filled and reinvented the potato out of. PICK OF THE PENTHOUSE OR WHATEVER WE DECIDE TO CALL IN THIS DAY AND AGE Recap of the latest penthouse weekend event: people's mundane conversations related in a mildly entertaining manner. Example below.
THE MOTH Thanks to Hermes inadvertently starting a meme, the brief recap of what's been happening on the forum during the last month is now named after an insect. Example below

I am happy to continue my history/interview/best thread conglomerate, with a thread every month and the other 2 columns alternating. I am also open to giving any of these away if others want to do any of them, and/or starting a new column/columns. Just let me know.

"I'll get back to you" would actually be a pretty decent name for an advice column.

I'm happy to leave it up to you but if you want the decision taken out of your hands, my suggestion would be to throw the interview column open for someone else, since you've interviewed a potato ton of people so far in your style and it might be interesting to see a new person with a different approach to interviewing take over, while threads and particularly history are much more Uniquely Linda. can i be gawky, or some other adjective yay sure if anyone has a better adjective suggestion for sophie say so, otherwise she gets the post of Adjective Editor
