Welcome to THE BLUE NEWS, Blue Harbor's best ( and only! ) newspaper, circulating weekly; otherwise known as @blueharborhq's extras blog. Consider this post a short introduction to the blog and all of its upcoming features!
MONTHLY COLUMNS.
Every month, we will be posting a big update to keep all Blue Harbor residents in the know with what's going on in this small town! We'll be posting updates from the weather, to notable events, to local shop sales and more! Feel free to use this knowledge to spice up your IC threads.
ASK MEMES.
We all love a chance to further understand one another's characters. From time to time, we'll be hosting ask meme weekends, where muns are free to opt their characters in to be asked questions ( taken from a list which we will provide ) that they can answer IC. These weekends will be planned in advance, and specific instructions to opt in will be shared once the time arrives, so stay on the lookout!
RADIO PLAYLISTS.
Music brings people together! Thus, we've decided to share a short playlist with the group on a weekly to bi-weekly basis! We'll gather songs from your character blogs, the OOC Discord recommendations channel, our own personal favorites and etc. to keep everyone in the loop on what the town is listening to. IF YOU WOULD LIKE A SONG FEATURED, FEEL FREE TO SHARE IT VIA YOUR CHARACTER'S BLOG OR THE OOC DISCORD, OR YOU CAN SEND IT TO US VIA THE BLUE NEWS' SUBMIT BOX. These playlists will be short, so if you don't see your song featured one week, please look out for it the next! We promise to get to all shared songs eventually if a backlog occurs.
UPCOMING / IMPORTANT DATES.
Every event deserves to be celebrated in Blue Harbor! With this, we'll be highlighting important IC dates such as character birthdays, holidays, group events, the changing of the seasons, etc. Character birthdays in particular can also be found on the Blue News blog on the fifth link at any point in the year.
BREAKING NEWS.
Just like a real newspaper, The Blue News will be posting important news updates of town happenings! Whether admin created for plot-drops, or submitted by the paper's vigilant readers, no story is too small for Blue News!
FARMER'S MARKET.
Down at the farmer's market, the stalls rotate twice each week — Wednesday and Friday! CHECK THIS PAGE TO SEE THE CURRENT STALLS.
JOB LISTINGS / BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS.
There are businesses a-plenty in Blue Harbor, likely looking for new employees to fill their open positions and customers to keep the doors open. Here we'll be sharing occupation recommendations for new ( or existing ) characters, as well as highlighting businesses within town that may be having special sales in character. Feel free to use this information to spice up your threads! IF YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR CHARACTER'S BUSINESS TO BE FEATURED, PLEASE SEND IT TO US VIA THE BLUE NEWS' SUBMIT BOX! Please fill out the appropriate form, found here, and we will compile the post for you.
Any new features of this blog will be added ( and announced ) as time goes on. As with anything, member feedback is extremely appreciated & any comments or concerns can be directed to the main or either admin!
