The Brick Letter

by **Burman** 12/20/2010, 4:24 pm

On the 1st January this year I will be launching the Brick Hopes new initiative, The Brick Letter. This new feature will help our members keep in contact with the site and will be emailed out monthly. It will include techniques, MOC features and many more articles.

We will have interviews with members and give members the chance to take part themselves.

As a member you can either-

- Sign up for the newsletter: You will be put on the mailing list and set any copies or announcements.

- Sign up to be part: Signing up to be a columnist will mean you get your own little section in the newsletter. If you sign up you can write your own features and per month one from a member will be featured. To do this you need to have good writing skills and imagination.

Post below if you want to receive the letter or be part of it. If this goes successfully then we may increase the size and project it to the entire online lego community.

I wouldn't mind being a part of it, maybe I could do a "MOC's of the month" collumn where I browse around the website looking for MOC's and posted my comments on them

by **Burman** 12/21/2010, 8:45 am

Don't you think you should wait a while before asking a question like that? Your rather new.

And how does that make a difference?

Well, it starts with the simple fact that some people might not know you and we don't know what you could do in The Brick Letter, plus we've had problems with Recent Members in the past...

If you really want to do it you'll have to do something to either make us think "he is a nice dude who'll vsit often and deliver his stuff on time" or "Wow, he knows a great deal about *insert topic here*, I think we should include him".

It will take time before we really know who you are, in this forum, meanwhile just post and enjoy yourself, "ambition is a seven-headed beast"(expression in my country).

Cheers.

by **JCC1004** 1/6/2011, 9:52 pm

Enough! The fact is you mentioned it too late. The release date is too soon for you to be able to come up wih something. Perhaps you can apply for the February Letter?

I have agreed an article with VBBN and he will be able to complete it

by **The Breakdown** 1/7/2011, 10:31 pm

So...when will the letter be released? I need to know, so I can take pictures for my comic.

by **Burman** 1/7/2011, 10:41 pm

More than likely the tenth. If I do not have all articles in by then I will allow a few more days.

Hello everybody, it has come to the time of the month where we have to start thinking of the next issue. I would like to gather interest first so if you are interested in writing for this one then please post below and I will get back to you by Sunday.

by **Octan** 1/22/2011, 1:12 pm

Can I write again? I will do my sorting thing, and I could also do some on fabuland building.

Octan

by workfromtheheart 1/24/2011, 11:00 pm

I could/would write something, if you can excuse my bad English off course ;-)
