Hello Junta,
Its been a while since we did something crazy
at pagalguy.com , now its time to shake things up a bit
A few of you must have visited our portal at pagalguy.com , and would have also noticed how much it lacks , when it comes to fresh content
.. In order to change things around and provide the junta more power than before, we are planning to experiment with the junta writing articles for the portal
Keeping in mind that we are slowly growing beyond CAT and are today a place where the youth discuss everything from football to politics, it is only fair enough that the true writers get a chance to get published on our portal.
we have been working out on the rules, regulations and policies before publishing and here is a rough draft for your perusal. The entire work was done by Apurv and is as under. Whatcha think folks ?
I] Sections :
1 "The CAT Act" : Share a brainwave, a killer strategy or an amusing experience
2 "All world's a stage" : Write your own opinion column about the world around us
3 "It happened one night..." : Write personal experiences, a travelogue or a whacky thing that happened to you
4 "The BSchool Spool" : Tell us about your travails in that confusing place called BSchool
5 "Sport Court" : Tendulkar, Schumacher, Zidane... need we say more ?
6 "Pagal Studio" : Do you click ? Show us how !
All sections are tentative and have been planned out in such a way to cover most of the writings you guys can dish out. However, if you have any more suggestions - just belt it out
II] Rules for Contributors :
- Originality in writing is Top Priority. If you write about a CAT trick/tip, write it yourself. Take your time to explain it in a lucid and clear way. But cut-copy-paste is a BIG no no. Any violations would result in a ban and removal of all content by that user.
- Write complete English words. If u rite it lk dis, its nt axeptable.
Editors cannot torture themselves resolving SMS-type shorhand.
- Follow Word Limit.
- All contributions should be accompanied with a functional email address.
(We should be able to contact the writer if we need to)
- Control use of Smileys.
- Avoid emotive/judgemental language. - i.e be decent.
- No phone numbers in article.
- No advertising.
Approximate guideliness for editors:
When to REJECT articles
- If it is flat, directionless. pointless or gibberish.
- If it is found to be copied.
- If it is arrogant, vulgar, obscene in content or language.
- If it advertises something pointless enough.
- If accompanying email address of contributor turns out to be fake.
When to RETURN article for rework
- If the point made is good, but language etc is a mess.
- If the article is too long, needs to be cut down.
