that was really quick thanks

If you want to find an article by author, may I suggest using The Archive?

Also, the main page still says the archive is "Updated through Issue #40". Can anyone fix it?

I was wondering how you become one of the judges in Judge a Pokemon. It seems like a fun job. :D

skylight normally changes around the judging panel every few issues.

Uh, just wondering, while writing an article, we can post it as a WIP, right?

What's the correct way to format an article submission? Should I do a detailed outline, or should I simply give a short general description?

just format it in a way feels presentable

For example, i format mine like

header 1
-what im talking about

etc

don't worry about the length of your submission, but be succinct while giving us as many details about your idea as possible. of course, if something's unclear, we'll just ask.

If The Player has merged with The Smog, should any article ideas for The Player be submitted to The Smog article submissions, or is there some other process?

Submit it to The Smog article submissions and it'll be treated as a normal article, nothing special

This has probably been asked before, but what does an article submission for The Smog entail? Is it just your idea of an article, or a finished product?

I've got a neat little project which I'd like to do for this, but I haven't really started it, despite having the idea for a couple months now.

Uhhh I think someone like like Jellicent or Toast++ will add you to our workshop. I believe all GP members have a free pass in.

Tell me what it is and I'll edit it.

Spyedit: Or let a Smog Staff member know so they can fix and merge it ASAP.

 

[Torkoals]

Tell me what it is and I'll edit it.

In issue 37 of the smog, in the article entitled "Mindgames: The Psychic-Types Of OU", in the second paragraph covering alakazam, in the 4th line, instead of "it" there's an "ir"

Why are there only 2 slots available for claiming art? Why isn't there 3 to get it done quicker?

 

[Cretacerus]

You can at most placehold two articles at once, though there's no limit on how many articles you can illustrate for an issue.

Sparkl3y: Once you've finished with the two images, there's nothing stopping you from placeholding another two. In fact, it would be great to see some more art from you! :D

Ah, thanks for clearing that up for me. I will go placehold another two!

Is there a way to search for articles? Or do we have to click on each issue to find one we want to read?
