and… any chance of an article from Echo Bazaar’s The Unexpurgated London Gazette…?

Is there an opportunity to create a ‘classified’ section where attendees could briefly advertise their services, dreams, wise words, collaborative projects, published/screened stories… for absolutely no fee whatsoever…? It might be an interesting way to highlight the different interests of the audience and the varied ways we all engage with story. My not very secret agenda is that I would like to share info about a ‘developing multiplatform ideas’ course due to take place at University College Falmouth in March, maybe offer my own story services to those who might like them, and share a social network project I’m working on – so that’s three ads already, admittedly not the most story rich so far, but they’re a start… I wondered if others coming along might like to meet each other on paper in this way as well as face to face?

> something you’d like to suggest for the Newspaper…
How does it feel to be with someone who is engrossed in a novel, playing a game or watching a DVD with headphones? And how do the reactions of those incidental attendants reflect back onto the experience of the direct recipient? When story-listening becomes individualised, is the presence of other people a constraint or a resource for the story-teller to use?

What about doing something around the format of a game of consequences, that surrealist game of adding parts to a story (without seeing what has gone before) that becomes random as a result – sometimes funny sometimes just strange…could be done at the event or in the paper, could be done before or during, all sorts of potential for creating a new story for the event.
