Other Features Gen VI in Anime Style Battling.

[Box]

Hello every it's Box from ASB! I reckoned it would be a good idea to bring up ASB again with the advent of Gen VI, particularly with our overhaul in the generation transition. I'm new to this, but feedback and criticism is appreciated!

Hey Box! How quickly do you think you could write something like this up? We're releasing an issue very soon here (shh don't tell anyone), but we could potentially try to squeeze you in if you can do it sooner rather than later. What kind of a timeframe are you looking at here?

 

[Box]

I can have it done in around 48 hours, possibly shorter if necessary. Say 36 hours in the least?

Okay, I'm going to go ahead and approve this. Thanks for your interest in writing for The Smog! We'll work on getting you access to Article Workshop as soon as possible. You can discuss the progress of your article(s) on #thesmog (on synirc) with other writers, however keep in mind this is the only place you can discuss your article(s). If you have any questions, feel free to PM any of The Smog Staff, otherwise enjoy your time writing for the webzine. :)
