Event	What's needed for JABB newsletters	Deadline
Valentine's Story Dyeland Character Interviews	It's that time of year again!  If you want your characters featured in the annual Dyeland Valentine's story, please pay close attention to these deadlines!  There are three separate ones for the three parts of this project.  Due to time constraints, these deadlines are pretty well set in stone.  Pushing them back any further won't give me time to write anything decent.  Of course, completing each step before the deadline is much appreciated!  If at any point in the process you decide you can't participate, please let me know immediately.  Thanks!	January 8th- I need to know which of your characters will be involved. January 15th- I need to know what type of love those characters will be interviewed about if you haven't already told me. January 22nd- I need your answers to your characters' questions back.
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.)	Whenever
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.	Whenever
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!	Whenever
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?	Whenever
Call the Official 3 AM Phone Answerer of Dyeland	Everyone hates political ads, right?  Well, at least this year 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!	Whenever

(TBD=to be decide, DCB=date change possible)

This section isn't necessarily for the newsletters although some of the material I'm attempting to collect here could make its way into them.  Mostly this is an attempt to make Dyeland-set stories, whether on the YG, the Author's Cut, or the newsletters, a lil more richly written.  There are no sets deadlines.  Obviously the earlier things are made known, the more newsletters they may work their way into.  But any of this is welcome at any time.

Idea	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 us, 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 last January 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.)
