LIVE CHAT: IPB Image

Following <a href=http://talk.portkey.org/index.php?act=findpost&pid=419362>digitalphonix's suggestion,</a> we've reactivated PK's live chat. While we expect it to reach only 0.000001% of its book 7-era levels, it's still nice to have that option available for members who'd want to use it. For now, please use the "Live Chat" links on top of our forum pages, under the banner. Please post chat-related questions here for easy reference. If you got inside the chat room, don't be shy to ask the other people in there esp digitalphonix and Polydicta.



FUTURE INTERVIEWS: <img src="http://talk.portkey.org/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=1172">

We're presently working on not one, not two, but FOUR interviews to be issued from mid-October until March next year. Drumroll please ... IPB Image


Our upcoming PK Spotlight issues would feature:

wub.gif Ahn Na Blue - best known for her fiction

wub.gif Harrys Mistress - extremely popular for her stories

wub.gif Stefy - greatly missed for her art

wub.gif AdamantEve aka Anna or DeliverMeFromEve - greatly missed for her fics and witty posts




Yep, we've spoken with each of them, we've confirmed they're the same people we've known and loved all these years. All interviews are at various stages of (in)completion. tongue.gif We haven't finalized yet which feature would come ahead of the others, but rest assured they'd be out starting middle of this month.


Please post on this thread any questions you've got for them. Be sure to indicate which of them should get your question. However, let's give them the prerogative to skip any question, without need for explanations. smile.gif

If you wanna say here how overjoyed you are to hear from them, hug.gif then you may have the floor. biggrin.gif

While this announcement obviously takes out the element of surprise, we think it's worthwhile informing our members who've been visiting PK only once in a while. This notice oughta be reason enough for them to check in here more often. smile.gif

Btw, we'd really love to interview plenty more people. However, lots of factors come into play, so please be patient. We've got lots more names in our "people we'd like to interview" list but we're devoting our first 5 or so issues to those who haven't been interviewed yet in similar projects like The Anvil E-zine's "Harmonian of the Month" and Harmony Podcasts.** We're also prioritizing those who haven't been PK staff at some point. wink.gif We would feature some from both groups in due time. At any rate, we're sure they wouldn't mind letting others have their moment in the sun. biggrin.gif

**We mean no disrespect for these projects. In fact, we got this PK Spotlight idea from The Anvil's "Harmonian of the Month" project.

You're welcome to volunteer to interview your favorite PK-er (other than yourself tongue.gif). *hint hint* Likewise, you're also welcome to assist us in wrapping up these three interviews.

On a related note, Portkey staff would never send you messages that solicit personal information. We do welcome monetary donations for the site but we only solicit through our site's webpages. Any donations should be sent only to Portkey's co-founder, NAPPA.

No matter what site you may be browsing, if it pops up asking you to download something, cancel it and go to the software manufacturer's site directly if you want to download and install the software from the pop up so you can be certain you are getting the software you want and not a virus that you don't.

We are working with our ad servers to determine the source of this problem and hope to have it down soon. In the meantime, please click cancel (or refresh if that isn't an option) and the prompt should go away.
