Why You Are a Good Candidate: Because I'd like to think I'm decent at giving others advice regarding relationships. Of course, there isn't actual advice someone can give but there's always the encouraging part and the subtle, subconscious hints that may or may not make the other explore their own feelings. That, and it's always nice to know that there's someone to turn to who won't judge you, no matter the problem; the best part, neither people know each other - totally anonymous. (view spoiler)
Sample Writing Piece:
MISSING EAR
This morning, a human ear was found, unattended on the right hand corner of the table, situated in the Common Room. Witnesses claim that a certain, hooded figure, was caught placing such body part at its designated place; the hooded figure took their leave just as stealthy as they had come, no trace whatsoever.
We are now on the search for a fellow student or personal whose ear might be missing, but a bigger matter is at hand - a human ear thief. We strongly advise that your dorm rooms remain tightly shut and locked. This is urgent news, folks, be careful about falling asleep anywhere, nobody knows when the Ear Thief may strike again.

Why You Are a Good Candidate: I have a lot of experience with writing updates of events for groups... Also, next year I'm taking journalism as my elective and would like some prior experience, and an rp seems like a fairly good option at the moment...
Also, Endellion seems like she would know a lot about what's happening at school since everyone knows she doesn't really care so they could say whatever in front of her...
Sample Writing Piece:
Selected Object- Toast
Writing-
After a rather intense battle between the school cafeteria and the Health Department, it seems that a final verdict has been reached: Our school shall serve only whole wheat bread, as to promote a healthy diet. This decision was made clear approximately 7:30 last night, when the bread in question was left in the common room, toasted to perfection. Evidently, one of the janitors decided to prepare themselves a little snack, but were forced to flee the scene without their refreshment. Our sources state though, that the rest of the loaf is yet to be discovered.
While this may not seem as 'Breaking News' to most, it's actually rather crucial to anyone planning to purchase a meal at the cafeteria anytime soon. With this recent development, several of the favored selections, including the esteemed french toast, shall be made unavailable. Others, such as the stuffed crust pizza, shall be edited to fit the amendment. Don't fret though, a second vote by the student councils may still be able to overturn this judgement, so long as it's unanimous. Worst case scenario, you take a quick detour to the local Starbucks and have that croissant or danish pastry you've been eyeing.

Sample Writing Piece: Lightbulb
After several nights of a missing janitorial aid, the bulb in room 2215 fell from its place among various other bulbs on the ceiling to the black countertop table. The bulb, which had been hanging literally by a wire shattered and sent pieces of glass all around the room. Though everything had been cleared and fixed in the room, the bulb was left till it found its eventual doom. The bulb which had been on that very ceiling for five years is now dead and gone. It will never give light again.
Now the arises as to the importance of this seemingly trivial matter. Well, after close examination it was revealed that there are several such bulbs around the building hanging from their wires ready to fall. And what if they were to fall on a student? Due to lack of a staff member the safety of the schools students is jeopardized. Imagine if such a bulb were to fall on a student. Or a student were to fall onto the grass and cut their skin. Awareness should be raised that a job is not being fulfilled and money is wasted. Therefore the school should take into consideration of getting a new janitorial staff who will make sure not to leave any job undone.
I love how everyone chose a different item so far... So now only one question remains: Who shall overlap?

Why You Are a Good Candidate:
For our school musical we did Singin' In the Rain, and for it we made this mock fan magazine. I had to write several articles of the fan magazine.
I am also taking Journalism as an elective next year in High School.
In whatever I do, I could be creative and good at making stuff up and making it either dramatically serious or comical, whatever sort of article is needed.
My character is a Seeker, and therefore should be involved in the Newspaper anyways. One way or another. Since Journalism is her thing. XP
Sample Writing Piece:
THE CHAPSTICK LID
A chapstick lid found on the table of the Common Room, no big deal, what's everyone getting excited about? Perhaps you're right, perhaps there is nothing more to it than it just being another random occurrence. Then again, perhaps there is more to this seemingly unimportant event than you realize. Let's begin with a few facts, shall we?
Fact #1- A single chapstick lid was discovered upon the Common Room table at precisely 6:15 this morning by an Anonymous witness.
Fact #2- The brand of chapstick was of course made from ChapStick®, banana flavored.
Fact #3- After some questioning a janitor claimed that when they finished cleaning the Common Room the night prior at 11:30 they had indeed left it spotless and therefore chapstick-less.
Fact #4- Several Anonymous witnesses claimed to have heard suspicious noises coming from the direction of the Common Room in the middle of the night, though they said they were "...to tired to go check on it."
To you see the connections? Then let me clarify.
We shouldn't be asking ourselves question "Is this even relevant?" or "Why should we even care?", no instead we should be asking the tough questions, because that's what we are about. The truth, and no matter what the truth is or wherever it may be hiding, you'll be sure we'll find it. Why was someone in the Common Room? Why were they putting on chapstick? And why didn't they have time to put on the cap before they hightailed it out of there? Sounds suspicious, doesn't it?
We are still investigating the witnesses, but you can be sure that we shall find the culprit and crack this case. Return to us next week in the KII Tribune for the TRUTH.

I didn't really even answer any of questions though. XD
It was still better than mine... xP
My sample news article, where I didn't answer any questions, and left the readers more confused than when they started. :3
People love to be confused. Why, it's actually a hobby for me.
Mod
It's not like newspapers ever really answer anyone's questions anyway :P

Why You Are a Good Candidate: It would be pretty interesting to see how my character copes with being in the school newspaper due to her vivacious personality. I have also worked in my school newspaper before as a Co-Editor.
Sample Writing Piece: (I'll also be writing in the viewpoint of my character, not necessarily the way I would normally write)
Blue Ribbon
Upon my return to the common room last night with a mug of hot chocolate, ready to succumb to the magic of yet another Austen novel, I happened to come across a rather peculiar piece of cloth haphazardly strewn over the table where my feet usually lay. On closer inspection it appeared to be a rather tatty, frayed piece of ribbon. Surely one would jump to drastic conclusions as I'm sure are flittering around in your head as you read this; how did it get here, why a blue ribbon? Well, dear reader, the answers to these are as mundane as the questions you ask. Kale Ivy Institute is hardly a scene out of a Stephen King novel, a girl must have forgotten it in her haste. However, once it is cross examined and checked for obscure blood stains by our forensics team, we'll be reporting back ASAP on any completely hypothetically potential killer.
Note to the girl who left her ribbon on the common room table, unless you want your ribbon to be dissected by my scissors please come and collect it from myself at KII Tribune and refrain from placing objects that are most likely to spread pathogens within a close vicinity to me.

(Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I thought I'd lighten it up a bit with all the other mysterious articles)
