   FidoGazette Submission Categories   
   Updated 30 March 2022   
   ======================================================================   
   There's quite a few categories you can put your article into to be   
   published.  Below are all the categories with explainations.  If   
   you're not sure, just save it as .MSC and I'll try to put   
   it in the appropriate category.   
      
   *.GUE  Guest Editorial   
   ----------------------   
   Have a comment, gripe or want to air your opinion about something   
   in Fidonet?  This is a forum for you, the Fidonet sysop, to do   
   just that.  There is to be no flaming, personal attacks, or vulgarity   
   in your editorial.   
      
   *.COR  Corrections   
   ------------------   
   Did you submit an article that needs a correction?  Did I write   
   something that wasn't correct?  This is the place to do it.   
      
   *.RTX  Retractions   
   ------------------   
   A place to put article/submission retractions.   
      
   *.LET  Letters to the Editor   
   ----------------------------   
   Want to let me know what you think about one of my editorials, a   
   guest editorial or an article that ran in the Gazette?  Let me   
   know here so everyone can see.   
      
   *.FNF  Fidonet News Flash   
   -------------------------   
   Current happenings in Fidonet.  This could be anything, including   
   a node going down for a while, a node leaving or better yet, a node   
   joining Fidonet.  This is for any sysop who has something important   
   about Fidonet to put out to avoid technical problems.   
      
   *.ART  Articles   
   ---------------   
   This is for things that just don't fit in any of the other   
   catagories.  This is for general articles that aren't specific in   
   any way, but fit into the Fidonet spectrum.   
      
   *.COL  Columns   
   --------------   
   Would you like to be a regular columnist for the Gazette?  Send me   
   a note and we'll talk.  I'm sure other sysops would enjoy a regular   
   columnist or two.   
      
   *.BIO  Fidonet (Auto)Biographies   
   --------------------------------   
   Tell us your story about how you got into Fidonet.   
      
   *.TRU  True Stories of Fidonet   
   ------------------------------   
   Have an interesting, funny or unusual story to tell that involves   
   Fidonet directly?  Here's the place to share it.   
      
   *.HIS  Fidonet History   
   ----------------------   
   A column where you can discuss Fidonet history.   
      
   *.FFT  Food For Thought   
   -----------------------   
   One of my personal favorites.  This column is all about food!   
   Anything having to do with food is welcome here, such as:   
   recipes, how-to, unusual food/ingredients, recommended stores   
   and/or websites concerning food-it's all welcome.  I would ask   
   that if possible, you could submit the recipe in MealMaster   
   format if possible.  If you're not sure what MM is, ask in the   
   COOKING or HOME_COOKING echoes.   
      
   *.REV  Reviews   
   --------------   
   Read a book, watched a TV show, viewed a website, use a program or   
   something else that would be of interest to other Fidonet sysops?   
   Submit your honest reviews here and let the rest of us know what   
   you thought.   
      
   *.FTC  Getting (Fidonet) Technical   
   ----------------------------------   
   Technical issues dealing with Fidonet, such as FTSC specifications,   
   setting up/using programs, et al.   
      
   *.ZRC  Coordinators' Corner   
   ---------------------------   
   This column is for any *C that needs to get word out to the general   
   Fidonet population.  I will check the nodelist to make sure that   
   anyone who submits to this article is a nodelisted *C.  If you're   
   not, I will return your submission.   
      
   *.JOK  Clean Net Humor   
   ----------------------   
   Yeah, we can all laugh at ourselves sometimes or if you have a good   
   funny joke (or puns, I /LOVE/ puns-the punnier the better! :), tell   
   it here.  Please keep it clean (PG-rated) and no vulgarities.   
      
   *.TOW Thought Of The Week   
   -------------------------   
   Do you have a favorite quote or quip from someone that you'd like to    
   share?  Let us know.   
      
   *.ASA  ASCII Art   
   ----------------   
   Have some cool ASCII art?  Let us see it!   
      
   *.AD   Advertise Your Free Service/Event   
   ----------------------------------------   
   Have a free service to offer or a free event that might be of   
   interest to fellow sysops?  Let everyone know in here.   
      
   *.SAL  For Sale   
   ---------------   
   This is for items that you have for sale.  No commercial ads,   
   please!  Remember, caveat emptor (buyer beware).   
      
   *.WAN  Wanted   
   -------------   
   Need a piece of equipment you just can't find?  Let the Fidonet   
   sysops know and the chances are good that someone will have what   
   you need.   
      
   *.QST  Question of the Week   
   ---------------------------   
   Have a question you just can't answer?  Submit it to the Gazette   
   and the crack knowledgeable staff *cough*, er I'll try to hunt   
   down and answer for you.  Better yet, you put it in here and   
   one of our crack knowledgable sysops can help you.   
      
   *.ANS  Answer of the Week   
   -------------------------   
   The companion column to the above column.  I'll publish the best   
   answer(s) here to the Question of the Week.   
      
   *.NOT  Notices   
   --------------   
   This is where you can let people know something's happening that   
   you need to let a lot of people know about.   
      
   If you can't find a category to put it under, put it under *.MSC   
   and I'll try to find a category to put it under.   
      
   Please see ART_SPEC.DOC on how to submit an article to the   
   FidoGazette.   
      
   Thanks for your interest in writing for the FidoGazette!
