SPOILER!!: example article
Headline: FORMER NANNY PUBLISHES TELL-ALL
Body of article:
Britain's illustrious Minister of Magic faces yet more chances of being "illustrated". This time, Minister Brennan Cooper seems to have been immortalized in Mrs Ginger's captivating work of non-fiction - From Diapers to Dabbling in Politics. Although possessing what is admittedly not a very clever title, this publication seems to have captured the members of Britain's wizarding community by storm!
Mrs Ginger, whom our sources have confirmed was indeed the minister's governess when he was a wee lad, has recorded every single stage of Minister Cooper's young life in incredible detail. The very first paragraph immediately draws the attention of the reader by describing Little Cooper's first word (you'll have to read the book to find out what it is, Mrs Ginger's publishers have refused us the right to reproduce any portion of the book). The content is without a doubt intriguing, while the writing style itself flows easily off the pages.
However, the tale does not end happily for this potentially award-winning writer as the Minister's representatives vehemently deny every fact represented in the book. One unnamed member of the Minister's office was overheard saying, "This is nothing but pure fiction, spawned from the wishful thinking of a senile woman."
Fact or fiction? The members of the wizarding community seem to be unaffected by the legal battle, as the book has quickly shot up to bestseller status in merely a week since it's release date! Mrs Ginger may end up paying millions of galleons in legal fees if the Minister's office decides to charge her for libel, but with sales of her book hitting the roof of every single bookstore in the country (and indeed, parts of the Eurozone), this little old lady will have enough to last her til the end of her days... and then some.
*Although we’re accepting OOC workers as well this time around, there will only be a limited amount of these so if you wish to be part of the team please get in your applications as soon possible. IC workers are HIGHLY encouraged. People interested in graphics should include direct links to five examples of their work in question 12 of the application.
Heh, you think it might work out, but it wont, seeing as you'll have to be doing the same thing for all the DP issues (not saying that you would, tho). *eyes anyone who's thinking of being that sneaky*
And yaaay, more applyers!
Ooh. I get it. I really know now what to do... but well, I won't try to be sneaky and that's a promise. lolol. =DD
I'm the king of my own land,
facing tempests of dust, I'll fight until the end. creatures of my dreams raise up and dance with me,
now and forever, I'm your king.
