The 'Shroom:Issue 155/Staff Notes

Staff Notes Written by:, , and



Hello, readers of The 'Shroom! There's a new portrait beside this block of text, which means I am officially handling all the duties of the Director now. I'll let Rose speak more about that, though, because I have a few announcements to make and I'd like to try and keep these notes from getting too long.

As you read through this issue, you might notice a few new writers making their debut. We said that attracting new writers would be our biggest priority this term, and we are well underway with that project. I won't spoil the surprise, but we already have new writers lined up to debut next month, as well. Though we have a number of writers already joining our ranks, we always welcome new writers with new ideas or a desire to pick up old sections! Since the sign-up page was revised early last year, though, it's been harder for prospective writers and interested readers to quickly find good examples of past sections that they can sign up for. brought this problem up, and, with additional input from our dutiful Statistics Manager and the hard work of all of our team Directors, we've overhauled the sign-up page to make it easier for you all to find exemplary editions of sections both past and current. You can click the links to get a feel for the kinds of a sections any given team aims to include and use those to generate your own ideas for new sections, or you can take a look at some past sections and simply apply to write your own versions of those. With that all in mind, it's a better time than ever to sign up for The 'Shroom, so if you've ever considered writing for the paper, head over to the overhauled page, find out how, and send in an application.

&mdash;Hooded Pitohui, Director



Greetings, beautiful 'Shroom readers! This is my first time in the Sub-Director chair, and I must say, it's pretty comfortable. I like the view from up here, you can look over the entirely of Pipe Plaza.

Thank you all so much again for the support and engagement you offered to Pitohui and I as we ran! To be here now is an incredible experience, and I know that I feel very fortunate to have this opportunity. Hopefully the two of us will be able to bolster The 'Shroom, and allow it to grow just as we dream it will. I hope your February has been love-filled and full of amazing moments, and please enjoy the rest of this issue of The 'Shroom!

&mdash;Roserade, Sub-Director
