THE DEAD TIMES
DEAD ARE COMING...
Newsletter Upgrade
The newsletters sent out every time The Dead Times is updated have always been fairly boring; I mean, they get the point across - there is an update and it is here - but it seemed fairly useless and incomplete; a Zombie without teeth, unable to bite, an individual without purpose, existing perpetually through some cruel twist of fate. Well, not anymore. The newsletter has risen a new; the old, tired, overworked model dying, fading, and in its place, a new litany of evil exploding from the grave, a bueatiful creation of new length and power, a monster with bite!
Yes, over the past few weeks, I - sitting in isolated quarantine - have been hard at work updating the awkward old newsletters to make them infinitely 'sexier', with oodles more, hopefully more-useful, content (but not too much - I'm still planning on sending out a newsletter every week and I don't want to bombard all you lovely people with my fetid word juice).
- From the top; there's a new section of introductory text - no idea what I'll write here yet but I'll think of new devilry to put there each week. All suggestions are welcome, just head over to the Contact page and send me a message.
- Then, the meat, the actual update that has just gone up on The Dead Times site. I aim to send out newsletters even when there is no new update to keep people who don't follow me on Twitter in the loop.
- Next, we have all the Zombie news that has made it onto our glorious website in the last 7 days. Again, there may be none depending on the busy-ness of the week - sorry.
- After that, there is a table of all the important Zombie things happening in the current month that have reached my Zomberific ears. These "things" include events, game releases, movie releases, book releases and so forth.
- Nearing the end, there is my personal favourite bit, the 'random content'. It's basically just an update from who-knows-when in The Dead Times's long history - it could be useful, it could be completely irrelevant now that time has moved on. Hopefully the section will give old stories a second bite at the apple or highlight something you maybe missed when it first came up.
That's it, the new newsletters are finally complete and should, if you've signed-up, already have dropped into your mailbox - if you haven't opted for the newsletter yet, what are you waiting for, the button is right there on the homepage? If you have any comments, complaints or suggestions of additions to the newsletter do not hesitate to get in touch via the Contact page.
