Are you the creative type?
If you are then you can show off your skills by putting them on show for
everyone to see in an EH newsletter.
Newsletters? What newsletters?
Most of the groups in the EH
have a newsletter that their members submit to for the other members enjoyment.
The main newsletter is the EH Fleet-wide Newsletter which all of the groups may
use. It can be found at www.emperorshammer.org/nl.htm
for downloading, but if you just want to read it online go to http://www.jedi.nu/yodavin/index.html.
Go for the latest issue first to see the quality the newsletters are at now
(the archives go back by 5 years).
As I said before, most of
the groups under the EH have a newsletter too. They can be found easily through
their homepages, but since the odds are that you are a member of the TIE Corps
I’ll tell you where their newsletter is (also because it’s the one I post to).
It’s called Battlecry and it can be found at http://www.xtc56.dial.pipex.com/battlecry.htm
What can I submit to a newsletter?
Oh, loads of stuff! You can
send in your fictional stories, articles that you think that people will be
interested in (interviews, stats, information sheets), artwork (uniforms,
squadron logos, and pretty pictures), and anything else that you think would
suit a newsletter. Just check out a newsletter to see what is usually in it. If
you can think of anything original though, go ahead and try to get it
submitted.
Right, I’ve made something. Who do I send it to?
To submit something to the
EH Fleet-wide newsletter, mail your work, and your ID Line, to SA Compton at LoveWilKil@aol.com
To
submit your work to Battlecry (TIE Corps), do the same but to AD Val Ricaud at valricaud@aol.com
I
suggest that you use a ZIP program like WinZip to make the files as small as
possible. It will save up and downloading for both you and the receiver. Make
sure that it is a zip file though, as it is the most popular and the receiver
will probably have it as well. You don’t have to zip the file, but it does
help.
Yeah, okay, I can show off using newsletters, but what else
can it do for me?
If that’s not enough for
you, then you can send something in for a medal. If you are in an issue of
either the EH newsletter or TIE Corps newsletter then you can be awarded a
Letter of Achievement. You can’t show it in your ID Line, but it is shown on
your personal profile in the rosters.
You will also be recognised
by being active by your superiors (tell your Squadron Commander as well, just
in case they haven’t read the newsletter). Your peers (other members) will also
begin to recognise you, giving you a little slice of fame.
