Volume 1, Issue 1 Newsletter June 2000
Ahh. After many long seasons working in the dark shadows, Mossflower News is finally finished. Not exactly but close enough. Let me tell you that I am going to be writing like a regular newspaper writer, not redwallish like as in when Cracklyn writes in her journal. There are currently 208 Redwall clubs and 79 Redwall fan sites around the world that are posted at Redwall.org since the last time I checked. I suppose that about 1/3 of the clubs are vermin type areas and the rest are good beast. Some of the clubs are very funny like Dibbuns Against Bedtime and some very serious and well organized clubs like Mossflower Liberation Army. I myself am a member from there. It's a very good site . . . lots of activities and very original. Meets all the requirements on page 2 of the newsletter. Well, I got an interview from Woodren of MLA and here it is:
1) What would you rate your web sites popularity
from 1-10. 1 being the least and 10 being the best.
A: 6
2) How many members does your club have?
A: 95
3) What do you think is the most important thing
that a Redwall club should have and support?
A: Really good content and easy navigation
around the
site.
4) Have your club recently have a battle/war with
any other club? (within 1 month)
A: No
5) Do you think that the Redwall books will ever
show Redwall or Salamandastron being taken over?
A: Maybe, it would be a pretty good and exciting
book.
6.) Would you say that your Redwall club will
still be up even when you are around 20 or so?
A: Maybe not.
7.) About how long did it take you to make your
site?
A: To come up with the basic design, maybe
a few hours. For all the main pages, such as activity pages and etc., maybe
a day or two.
8.) What other books do you read besides Redwall?
A: Not many others, mostly history, geography, nonfiction
stuff.
9.) Where did you come up with the ideals of your
site?
A: The name Mossflower Liberation Army I got
during the Kosovo Conflict, with the Kosovo Liberation Army fighting the
Serbs. I got the activity ideas from other clubs, and I made up some of
my own activities, such as Map Making. I try not to steal original ideas
from other clubs though, such as motto activities, Pass Along Poems, etc.
Some clubs are fighting wars with other clubs. Castle
Deathblade is a rival of Fort
Mossflower. If you would like to ally one of them or just join the battle
for the sake of nothing, ask either one of their Web masters and then fight.
Please . . . please . . . if you are fighting a war/battle please contact me
somehow because I can't just go running around visiting web sites that have
the worst navigation anyone can possibly imagine and see if there is an actual
battle going on.
