OK, this is my first application to be a part of Sal's Newspaper.

1. Why I Would Like To Join: Well, I've been reading Sal's Newspaper for quite sometime and especially enjoyed the Technology, Entertainment, and Stories & Poem sections. After reading a few issues I felt a great need to join the Newspaper myself and wondered how it would feel posting your stories online, unlike real life. tongue.gif

2. Desired Section: Stories & Poems

3. My Experience: Well, I have written two stories in The Story Mat, both of which are to be found in RuneScape Stories. You can check them here and here.

4. My Example: This passage is taken from Chapter 3 of my first story, The Fall of Gielinor Book 1: Gods of War:

Nothing, except fear, was on my mind when the Varrock Cavalry had surrounded me. King Roald moved closer to me, while Queen Ellamaria hid behind him. King Roald had his sword wielded and was approaching me with great caution.

"You bloodsuckers think you know us humans very well, now don't you?" He sneered at me. I almost thought that he was a Vampire.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" I yell, this time with no respect to my former king. "I'm not a Vampire!"

King Roald just ignored me and moved closer. I decided to wield my own sword in self defense. The thunder roared loudly above us as it started to drizzle.

"I don't know what to do?" King Roald stops coming closer and looks at his reflection through his sword. "Kill you immediately, or lock you up for further torture? Too hard to decide." He takes one more step closer to me, and whispers. "I think I'm going to go with the torture. Take him away boys!"

As soon as he said that the Varrock Militia grabbed my arms and dropped me to the floor. I tried fighting back, but one of the soldiers kicked the back of my head and everything went black.

Hope I get accepted! smile.gif

You write decently enough. There's a shift in tense (past to present), some minor grammatical flaws and odd word usage, but all of these should be amenable to suitable editorial input. The story excerpt is intriguing too. Welcome to the staff.

Accepted.
