The Inkstain: An Ingame Newspaper

THE INKSTAIN

What is The Inkstain?

The Inkstain is an ingame newspaper that I created because (a), I like writing, (b), I thought it sounded pretty cool, and (c), I also like rupees.

Prices

To buy a subscription, first you buy the subscription booklet. Then you need to buy a Subscription Purchase Record (don't worry, they are cheap!) and fill it out. Once you've filled it out, sign it and throw it into the hopper. This ensures that I won't miss your subscription! I will see the book in the hopper and will then be able to check my rupee history to confirm your purchase so that I can send you books.

To cancel a subscription, fill out a Cancel Book (currently unavailable), sign it, and toss it into the hopper.

FAQ's

Q: How many subscriptions can I buy at once?
A: As many as you like! We'll just add up the numbers.

Q: Is there any way I can be banned from The Inkstain?
A: Abusing purchases of certain books can get you banned from the res, these books being the Subscription Purchase Records and the Cancel Books.

Q: I see you only have three issues available alone. What if I want to read past issues?
A: For more information on that, please go to the PRICES section of the thread.

Q: How do I apply for staff?
A: Just click the link in the COMMUNITY INPUT section and I'll read your application within 48 hours, unless I am away. However, you should not expect a response unless you are accepted.

Q: Your HQ is kind of small.
A: Personally, I think that it big enough to suit the purpose, so if you have a problem with it, just think of it as "cozy."

Q: How can I make a suggestion?
A: You can post it on this thread, or (preferably) send me a private message on the forums or ingame.

Other Things

I will try to publish a new one every weekend. However, there may be weeks I am unable to publish or have to publish early. The reason I say this is that when you purchase a subscription, you are not signing up for x weeks of papers, you are signing up for x papers.

Other than that, I just hope this works out. Please give me as much feedback as possible! Thanks. now, lemme go make some copies and set up a chest.

The Inkstain would not be possible without all the help we've received! Thanks to all who have helped us and donated to our cause!

Sounds pretty awesome

*facepalm* I forgot I had that on, going to fix it. Thanks.
Another note: This version is only around 20 pages. Expect future versions to likely be a bit longer.

Okay, I think I've had the test edition out long enough. The stand is temporarily closed due to my upcoming event. Once that is over, I will be building an official building as well as setting up a buying area for the next issue.

You can get it from me for the normal price, I'll set up a sell chest for the extra first editions as well as the new edition.

That could definitely be a good idea, I'll keep that in mind!

That's the long-term plan.

Hmmm... I'll think about that. I just want to make sure I don't price it wrong.
