This should provide in depth insight. But to put it briefly, it's a collection of writing centered around a common theme. The collection of writings are then put together for others to read. You can see an archive and future editions at our Bear Blog here. This edition, I'm (Steven/ Moose) coming up with the theme and organizing the works.

What's the theme?

The theme for this edition is going to be "That One Person". This rotator is going to be released right in the middle of the Holidays, hopefully on December 20th. I think this is an excellent time to think about things we're thankful for, or the good in humanity. With that in mind, my goal for this theme would be for people to talk about That One Person who changed their life. What exactly they did might not be extravagant or world changing to an onlooker, but to you, it was everything. This is something that will stick with you for the rest of your life. Maybe it's a piece of advice. Maybe simply running into this person changed the trajectory of your life, to a course you hadn't thought about before. Whomever it may be, who are they and what did they say or do that left such a lasting impression? A quick note: this thing can be big or small. Just something that has stuck with you.

When are Submissions Due?

By the end of the day December 15th. This will give us time to format everything and get it up online

Where do I send Submissions?

Send them to me at steventanzimedia@gmail.com. Please make sure to put in the subject of the email that this is for the 2nd Eggbug Rotator.

Any formatting I should know about?

If you know how to write in markdown, that would be immensely helpful. If not though, that is also okay and me or one of the other people putting together this rotator can work that out. Outside of that, try not to make things too long. For the first rotator we capped it around 1500 words, and I think that's still a good target. It's a soft cap, so don't worry too much. A title also helps keep things organized.

Also, if you'd like to include any info about yourself, a link to your website, or anything similar, please make sure to include that. You can see some examples of this from our first rotator here. Basically just a place where people can find more of you if they want.
