Be Part Of The Story Next Season!
Whatever happens, I think the upcoming season will be a defining moment in Pompey's recent history. I want to collate the writing of anyone who wants to get involved, as the season unfolds. I want to compile articles, match reports and opinion pieces from anyone who'll offer them, then release the complete works at the end of the season.
In my head it will be a fascinating collage of personal stories and insights from a myriad of Pompey fans. And much like the account of Jury Service that I wrote, it will not be altered or edited with hindsight. The idea is to provide a first hand and varied account of Pompey fans' thoughts as what I suspect will be a rollercoaster season unfolds.
I'm hoping to get enough material to have at least one story or opinion piece from every game, though contributions don't have to be linked to a match. Ideally, some people will contribute more than once and we'll see how people's feelings change over the course of a season. Really it needs to start now, with people giving their thoughts on our current situation, any pre season games they've seen, hopes and fears for the season etc.
It can be one line, it can be an essay, you can tell us all about yourself, you can give nothing away; but once you submit it you can't take it back. All I need is a name (real or otherwise), location & the date and time, which I'll get from the email. Who knows, we might even get it published somewhere once the season's over. At worst I'll pop it all on the internet and it should make for a fine read.
Any contributions, please send to.....

Re: Do You Want To Write Next Season?
Sounds interesting. Are you looking for a review of the game or a personal opinion about what happened and the effects or something else? It may be helpful to post a few up here to get an idea of what you are looking for because I'm not sure how this differs from posts on this board.

Re: Do You Want To Write Next Season?
A total mixture. It may be just like a post on this board, it may be the story of going to a match, it might be a stab at a 'match review', it may simply be purely about feelings and reflections (reminiscing etc). I'll write some contributions myself, but my job really, will be to bring all these different elements together into a coherent, lively, varied and entertaining account of a season as it unfolds.Pompski! wrote:Sounds interesting.

Re: Do You Want To Write Next Season?
sounds like an interesting project.
I'd like to contribute a weekly doom level report ....probably each Monday.
I'll post it on the board though...you'll have to pull it off.

Re: Do You Want To Write Next Season?
from neutral side, this team needs to sign few players,or...welcome championship.
I think the upcoming season will be a defining moment in Pompey's recent history.
if I might add. next month is crucial. Kalinic and Finnan - good but is not enough. Belhadj probably leaving, Distin too..

Re: Do You Want To Write Next Season?
There's no rules on the language, style, length or approach of contributions. I want a big lump of clay from a broad cross section of Pompey fans, with which to craft an unadulterated tale of a season as it happened. I'm certain we can create something both entertaining and unique if people contribute.

Re: Do You Want To Write Next Season?
That would be brilliant, a few threads and regulars to bind it all the random contributions together. Point me in the direction of anything on the board I can use. Similarly if anyone has recently posted anything they'd be happy to be used in a pre-season chapter, please copy it onto an email and send it to the address above.The Cincinnati Kid wrote:sounds like an interesting project.

Re: Be Part Of The Story Next Season!
i would be intrested in helping out, maybe more during the autumn/winter months (october to march) when the hotel is closed as i would have more time to think about what im writing.
Life is all about ass. You're either covering it, laughing it off, kicking it, kissing it, busting it or trying to get a piece of it.
24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a crate .... coincidence? i think not!!!

Re: Be Part Of The Story Next Season!
Fascinating idea Junglist - I will contribute as and when I can and as the mood takes me which promises to be all over the shop, on a roller coaster, round the houses and up at least a handful of garden paths for a birds eye view.

Sounds like a fascinating project PJ
If you've got something left to say, you'd better say it now.

Re: Be Part Of The Story Next Season!
Good luck with this PJ, I'll try to add bits as and when.
- Trouble will probably be getting "copy" throughout the season. May well end up with a flush of stuff early on, then not much... As Editor you might want to hound contributors and snatch the odd bit off this board? How about puntuating the final work with headlines and opening paragraphs from the press to give terms of reference to the subsequent contributions?
Look forward to seeing the finished document!

It's not the despair, Lua Lua. I can take the despair. It's the hope I can't stand.

Re: Be Part Of The Story Next Season!
About time too PJ. Looking forward to reading the comments in book form. You better had get it published. Loved the Jury on your blog. So very well written and whilst the subject did not seem all theat interesting I was so into the day to day lives of everyone on there, I would have paid to read that.
