What's
needed for JABB newsletters |

JABB Members' Talent Issue | Do
you have a talent that you could share with your
fellow JABBers? Perhaps a story you wrote that's
available on the web? A web site you
created? If yes, we'd like to do an issue where
our JABB members can share those with others.
They do not even have to be A/J or TBAA related.
Please contact me for further details and to ensure
that we have the means to showcase your talent.
(I can't host videos, for example.) |

Interview
an
AOD |
JABB
has contained several interviews. One example is
when Lady JenniAnn interviewed the AOD Band in JABB
195. I always meant to do a part two and
never got around to it. Maybe your character
could! Or they could interview one or two or all
three of them about some other aspect of their
life. |

Customized
fanfiction
ratings |
Nicole
came
up with this one, I believe. The idea is we'd
take on on G/PG/etc. and replace them with our own
made-up ratings for the benefit of our fellow
Androolers. Sounds like fun to me! |

The
AOD Rulebook |
Got
this idea after reading Christopher Moore's A Dirty Job
in which your average Joe becomes Death. We know
Martha Williamson and Co. had some rules as they wrote
TBAA. But if the AODs themselves had a Rulebook
or Employee Handbook, what would that be like?
Care to help us hypothesize? |

Call
the Official 3 AM Phone Answerer of Dyeland |
Everyone
hates
political ads, right? Well, in 2008 we got one
that YouTubers
and even JABBers could have some real fun with.
The idea is Dyeland has an emergency phone that, it
turns out, is answered by Andrew. I wrote an
example of a call he just might get here.
I'd
love to have others featuring direly goofy calls from
other Dyelanders or angels! |

What's
needed for Dyeland stuff |
General character info questionnaire | It would make it a lot easier for me to write Dyeland-set stuff if I knew more about people's characters. I'm particularly trying to focus on the relationships and sentiments between characters, their day-to-day lives, what they're like when not in public, etc. So if you're interested in having your Dyeland counterpart further fleshed out on JABB, please submit answers to the questions given here. Of course, your writing Author's Cut stories about them would also be greatly appreciated! Thanks! |
Day in the life story |
Write a story about what your character does
over the average 24 hour period. You may think
it'll be boring to others but it'd be immensely
helpful to me and potentially other JABB
authors. I know I'd love to learn more about the
people I spend so much time writing about! |
About Us pages |
Another way to share info about
your Dyeland characters is to fill out About
Us
pages. You can also do one for yourself.
These can be whatever you like but I chose to write
Lady JenniAnn's using the following outline which
you're welcome to use, too. The first
paragraph is my statement about her. The
second paragraph is her history. The third
paragraph covers her roles in Dyeland.
Finally, each page ends with 3 links related to the
character/person. |
When We First Met story |
I brought up this idea years
back and ended up writing "Eight
Years Later" as a result. It was quite fun and
hopefully can be for others, too! Basically
the challenge was to write a story about how your
character met Andrew. But you could write one
about their meeting any Dyeland character. It
probly would be best, though, to try and stick with
the established timeline. For example, writing
that your character met Andrew when they visited
Dyeland in 1985 would be a lil hard to grasp since
Dyeland didn't come together til 1999 and Andrew
didn't arrive there until March 2000. But
otherwise let your imagination run wild! |
Character Interviews |
Characters interviewing other characters have
been a part of Dyeland-set JABBs for quite some
time. No reason to stop! Please click
here for details. |
Things You Should Know Before Joining JABB | Another idea from the YG. We want to compile an entertaining list of things you should know before joining JABB (i.e. we likely won't be reading your shipper fic, we are unlikely to be accused of excessive affection for Monica, etc.) |
