[MDL Writers] Article Ideas & Discussion

 JulyMoon:

I think I see a pattern. When we complain editorials are slowly getting published and once the first people say "oh look editorials are back" they slow the publishing until it's back to a stop. Editorials are NOT back, this is just a smooth "trick" to keep us quiet and it sucks that they can't be honest with us and just say that they don't want editorials on MDL anymore. Why play those games? 

It really annoys me that a co-written article of mine was about to be published but I don't think it will see the light of day anytime soon. I should've known better than to keep my hopes up... 

True, I was going to restart my article again but I was busy with my test so I waited few days and when I entered MDL, I was bombard with new sets of news.

I literally wrote a paragraph but let it be, that would change nothing and make me look like a fool

You can look forward to some editorials later this week. Please make sure to give them lots of love and attention to show how valued they are on MDL. <3

Hello admins!

After much consideration, I'd like to claim UFG for Zhang Linghe. And I'm dropping my article for Recap: Revenant. 

Thank you!

 JulyMoon:

It's up now. ^^

I already read your article but I didn't see who was the writer so I never knew it. I was searching it on the display now then I thought I missed it so I saw it from you profile 🤡🤣 I kind of hesitate to comment on someone's article unless I know them so not knowing it was yours I didn't say how much I enjoyed it 💓

 JulyMoon:

The writer is right under the title on the article page. It says by >writer's name<    ^.^

I already know that but when I am in hurry I just read that article and pass on 🥲😓

Hi, I want to make an editorial with the title 'an ultra fan guide to yang zi' I hope you guys can approve it🙏🏽

Dear admins, has there been a change in the schedule for editorials? Previously you have published 2 editorials each weekend, but you have stopped. With the long queue in the excel sheet, it will take you 14 weeks to release all the articles in "pending" section. Some articles are time sensitive, meaning they are wrap-ups for this year for example, so your current behavior is going to make us - writers - look like fools. Imagine reading a Halloween or Christmas article in summer LOL. 

The numbers are clearly showing that News articles recieve barely any interaction, so why keep pushing those, not even giving editorials TWO DAYS to shine and instead push your News section? From a basic marketing point-of-view this is a terrible technique. 

I have been gone from Forum for months, so if there has been any change in this, please inform me.
