There are two options available for the release of the story. Comments and feedback are welcomed.

1. The story will be released at a set date and time, by all news outlets. This gives an advantage in allowing all to be seen.

2. At a certain time, unannounced, the green light will be given, and news outlets will post their stories as soon as this is seen. This will lead to some being posted before others, 'scooping', them, but may result in delays before all stories are published.

I feel like the first option is more true to how news outlets would react in real life, but that's just me.

If it’s a press release or something then the first one

I'd say second.

Speaking of which, I'm thinking about making a media organization. I'm not sure if I want to do a legitimate publication or a political The Onion type thing.

If you would stick with it, an IC version of The Onion would be a great point of amusement for all of us.

Big Stephens announcement IC. Though I foreshadowed this several times.

Probably a death knell right there. Stephens was basically the last person of relevance left and its a heck of a vote of no confidence

Best time to introduce Hawkins to Anita?
Local 22 year old Diet Coke Addict College Student Ruins Everything

Quote of the Week: "A NEW STORY ON WRITING THREAD FOR HALLOWEEN!! MYSTERY MINE AVAILABLE NOW!"

RPs I do
- How do you do fellow kids? You want to see something violent? - Artemis: Deimos Trafficking League (Horror/Mature)
- Descend into the forgotten tourist traps of Florida on this transgressive RP! - The Community (Mature/Black Comedy/Slice-of-Life)

My overall account that I use for P2TM and even for international roleplaying! MNM is a mysterious and extremely dangerous dictatorship filled with supernatural oddities, demons, militarized soldiers everywhere, and a misanthropic nihilistic dictator who doesn't give a damn. It's basically if the SCP Foundation got mixed with 1984.
