Gah I lost my First post so let me try to start from scratch here; it won't be as good as my first one I'm sure.

I'm sorry that the paper will not be coming out this month. (Most likely) Due to personal reasons and people quitting. I was just getting the hang of the new system where I did the beginning and end month reviews to a small section of pets. This month it would have been rats and dogs for me since we didn't have any spiders.

To that note: I hadn't even realized what had been going on since I wasn't spending as much time on CS due to personal reasons and happened to check back to the thread; only to realize that three of our key people have quit. I didn't know what to do at that point since I directly work with one. I have also been asking the artist about their designs the past couple of reviews because reviewers simply did not 'just like my output' on things. So I decided that perhaps getting some insight would bring light to it. I've only one artist that did not wish to speak about their designs; which was a bit disappointing but I had expected it eventually. Though the ones that have complied have been great on help and I can't thank them enough.

Another key note to why mine hasn't been submitted is simply that I've been under a lot of pressure this week from my work. Basically I've been getting grilled on the job and just did not have the will or want to write or do anything after these depressing days. I just don't have the will to do it. I really love this paper but with all the negative feed back on work, my life emotionally right now and on the reviews themselves; I just don't know if I can hold that position any longer myself. I could do headshots etc of a character; or simple signature pieces. If you need anything in that area.

I would love to still help by some means; art; etc. But I don't think I could provide the articles every month. My apologies Calico but I think I'll have to dedicate my time to trying to get more sleep etc; one bad day at work could cost me my job. I need that to keep living.

I want to help anyway I can of course; you guys have stuck through with me since my mother passed. I appreciate everything you've done for me Calico.
Not on CS that much these days butyou can find me on Deviantart and Discord.

If you are under the age of 18, CALL THE POLICE. If not, is there anything we can do to help?

It wasn't exactly my house, just place of living...
there's not much anyone can do, but I will be ok. I'm just sorry about the Gazette and I hope the staff that is still around will stay and be patient. I'm very sorry...

I'm sorry Calico, I don't buy that. If you did get kicked out, you should be looking for a job, not fretting over your online newspaper.
Looking at your posts in the past month or so, it seems you've been going through a lot. A lot lot lot. A lot that isn't really realistic. I apologize if you really are going through all this, but this is the internet, and you can't believe everything, and I'm starting to doubt your sincerity.

And, if you are in your 20s, (And I'm talking about your signature here) wouldn't you realize that a picture of a dead family member is more connecting than a dog or cat?
Look at it this way; there are millions of black labs, so if you were a weird creepo guy trying to find somebody, a picture of a dead pet black lab wouldn't help. But, thanks to genetics, you would resemble your father in someway or another. Or, Mr. Creepo could do some Google searches and find him, thus finding you. It's all for protection. And, if you're in your 20s and can't figure that out, while I can't even drive a car yet, I'm really starting to doubt how much you say is true.

Again, I'm very sorry if I'm wrong, and all of this is true. I'm merely stating what's going through my head right now.
so I haven't been on this site in like, forever, so I'm briefly back on to get rid of lots of my pets in exchange for art of my dog. Also if you do art and want pets send me a pm I'd love to work something out
You can contact me on my tumblr - @puppiesfortheblind - if I don't respond in a reasonable timeframe

Hello! I haven't been on here in a loooooong time, so my trading skills are pretty poor. Don't try to scam me, I've been here two years (nearly), so I know a little.

My roleplay policies: I will post on each roleplay a maximum of 6 posts each day, and a minimum of 3 posts each week. These posts will be a minimum of three lines long, with good grammar. My average post is about 150 words, so that's about 10 sentences. If you have written more than I am used to, I will spend time writing more. If it takes a long time, feel free to PM me, but it will probably be a combination of writer's block and too much writing.

Keeping track...

I'm still here for you Calico, I won't be leaving and if there is anything I can do just let me know and I will do it. It will take a lot to get me to quit something.

I know how you feel, Calico; I really was hoping that we could expand soon as well! But at this rate, I am kind of disappointed. Every month we have almost half the staff change...... I know several people who would be very good writers who might like to join though that are reliable! They're all my rl buds, and we all love to do this kind of gig! I think what we have to do is watch for avid CS players who show potential to the Gazette, and invite them to join us.


Positions be opened today, please feel free to send them this way. We need some potential staff...

I fully understand RL is important and I think the reason your work has been getting negative feedback was because it seem to be getting shorter and shorter..tho it was still good, otherwise we would not have published it. Plus with the new system, I think things will be easier. I will be keeping the new system cept it wont be rotated.
I have also messaged you on the matter...

Why would I lie about this? Do people really joke about these.things? That is incredibly messed up...
I'm living on the streets with nothing but my phone, few clothes, few dollars,and food stamp card. My best friend went back up North, my "mum" kicked me out, both my real parents are dead, dads family are nothing more than backstabbers, moms side kinda disowned me...

Does the above sound unrealistic? Absolutely, and I know its not something everyone has to deal with, but it unfortunately does happened and as I have told people who question it... if I wasn't living it, I would find it hard to believe as well because no one should have to endear this crap.
Why am I on Chickensmoothie? Because its my outlet. My safehaven of sorts... As silly as it seems, The CS gazette is very important to me...
I had a job as a babysitter but I left it to help my 'mum' when my father passed away so I burned that bridge. I am currently looking for a job but I live in one of the top ten cities that have barely any work. My car is broke ... yeah she picked a perfect time to kick me out. I'm not trying to whine or have people feel sorry for me, I'm just venting and need to get it out...
Thankfully, my dads ex-girlfriend who I called mom for about ten years of my life has taken me in and I'm slowly getting RL things back on track, I hope...

i would be Dragons Amiga. ^u^
I want to join The CS Gazette!
Username: camiecat03 (camie, my name is a mouthful)
Position: 2nd/3rd Gen Pet Reviews
Why? i love writing and the pets here. I find it fun to write about things i adore and plus it will be good practice. I want to be an author when I grow up.
How Often do you get on CS? A better question is when do i get off. I'm on whenever i get time, so pretty much every day.
Other: I sincerely love the idea of having a Chicken Smoothie News paper, I'm a hard worker and when i make a commitment, i stick to it. It would be a true honor to be on the news letter.
