Federation News Service
FOR ASPIRING REPORTERS

Interested in keeping the public updated on the latest developments across the Federation? The Federation News Service welcomes both one-time and regular headline submissions for inclusion in the headlines newsfeed.

Objectives of FNS Headlines
  • Provide "bite-sized" IC news developments that can be shared across ships and referenced in sims to promote greater fleet IC continuity.
  • Give a fun, non-Starfleet creative avenue for simmers to develop the larger prime Trek universe. What's going on in the sports world of the Federation? What's the newest holonovel to hit the suites? You can help shape life in the 24th century!
  • Incorporate IC sim developments into the headlines to provide yet another way of telling our stories.

Submitting a Story

  • Simply edit the headlines page under the appropriate section (politics, sports, etc.) to add your new headline.
  • Headlines should be listed in reverse chronological order with the newest headlines of a section listed first.

Want to become a regular contributor?

  • Leave a message with one of our editors.
  • As a regular contributor, aim to update the headlines page with at least two new headlines a week.
  • As the headlines page fills up, clean up old headlines by moving them to the news archive page.
  • Look over one-time submissions for spelling, grammar, etc.

What if I want to write an actual IC news article?

  • You are very much welcome to do so! Check out the FNS Manual of Style for some tips and examples of previous IC news articles.
  • However, writing out an actual article is purely optional for regular contributors. New weekly headlines are all that's required.
