[ANSTHRLD] Call for Apps - Bordure Herald

[Alden Drake]

Thank you Borek for a job well done.  
 
Being Borek's predecessor in the office, I'll briefly add that the job is a great office if you're keen on submissions.  You get ample exposure, not only to our own kingdom submissions, but submissions from across the Known World.  It was my first heraldic office, and what I learned there has helped me in my other offices as well.  
 
As Borek said, organization and editing are important.  Being able to meet deadlines is crucial.  A number of folks rely on receiving the Letter of Intent in a timely manner.  It's not hard to do, you just have to be mindful and do it.
 
I wish the best for Borek's successor, and will continue to be available for any assistance I can offer.
 
In service,
Alden Solstice

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!

The job is easy with a little bit of the editor in you, general organization 
skills, and the ability to meet deadlines.

I have had a great group of people to call upon to vet what I have done and 
tell me what I missed:

Daniel de Lincoln
Magnus von Lubeck
Alden Drake

as well as the timley sending of the files I needed for the packets from 
Asterisk (whomever she happened to be), as well as last minute scans or info 
to finalize the LoI's

I would especially like to note the help Daniel has given in doing the stunt 
verbage for some of the more obscure aspects of the submissions that I have 
included in the LoIs I have produced.

I'm here to help train my successor as needed for the first couple of months 
and then for questions on an as needed basis. I have held one or more 
offices constantly for more than 10 years now and I need a 
looooooooooooooong break from it all.

Beware the fine print ;)
