== Contributing to VOCJ 50 ==
===1970s===
=== Submit an article ===
* Deadline: '''Monday, February 11, 2008'''
* Remember: each submission counts as a workhike
* You can write about anything related to the outdoors—preferably involving some sort of self-propelled activity. Ideally an article would be 500–2000 words. E-mail it to Jeff Mottershead as a .doc, .rtf, or .txt attachment. Don't forget to include a title.
* If possible, submit photos (in as high a resolution as possible—preferably 300 dpi or better) to accompany your article. Please include a short descriptive caption and a photo credit. Photos should be TIFFs, JPEGs, PNGs or EPSs and sent as separate attachments.
* Before submitting, read over your article and at least spellcheck it. Although your article will be edited, you'll endear yourself to the editor if you make it as painless as possible to clean up.
* If you'd like to write something but don't have any ideas, consider signing up for one of the articles in [[VOCJ50#Sign_up_for_one_of_these_stories|the list below]].


=== Submit photos ===
===1980s===
* Colour photos should in TIFF, JPEG, or EPS format, in as high a resolution as possible. Include a descriptive caption and a photo credit. Either e-mail the photos to Jeff or send him a link to the ''specific images'' in the photo gallery. (He and the designer will ignore any submissions consisting of "Just use any of the photos in my album" or any similarly vague requests.)


=== Suggest advertisers ===
===1990s===
Although part of the budget is allocated to the journal, we still have to cover part of the printing and distribution costs by selling ads. We'd like to support local businesses (including those in Squamish and Whistler and other places VOCers frequently visit) that share the VOC's philosophy of access and sustainability. If you can think of any appropriate businesses or organizations we could approach, let Jeff know. Better yet, if you have a direct contact at those organizations, Jeff will send you a media kit with our ad rates to pass along to the potential advertiser.


=== Suggest alums we can profile or contact to write an article ===
===2000s===
Champagne is trying to track down some of the old-timey VOCers for retrospectives, but if you have specific alums in mind we can talk into contributing to the issue or alums (or historic VOC events) we might want to profile, please post their names below. If you're also a member of another outdoor organization that is likely to have a few VOC alumni, and you have the capability of putting out a broadcast soliciting potential writers, drop Jeff Mottershead a note.
• 2000/2001
# First ascent of NW Cook, 3687m, and second ascent of Mt. Cook, 4196m, by new route West Ridge,  
# combined sailing and climbing (Alun Hubard (L), Chris Barnett, Greg Brown, Dave Hildes, Toby Ross);

# Kitchen Sink Award created;
# re-writing of the VOC Constitution;
# VOC partners with ACC.

=== Suggest current VOCers we should harass for articles ===
====2010/11====
Did you read a particularly entertaining trip report that might make a good article? Post the author and trip below. Serious suggestions only, please—no one needs to see the Waddington collage again...
*winter: controverse around safety issue on big organized trips (SAR/other clubs? vs VOC)
*Name, trip (date)
**82 vocers at winter long hike

=== Skim the archives for our retrospective vignettes ===
====2011/12====
Peppered throughout VOCJ 50 will be a series of 200-word extracts from previous issues of VOCJ. We need help populating these "From the Archives" sidebars—the journal will have about fifteen of them. If you're willing to skim through a few back issues of VOCJ for funny, historic, or heroic quotes we can use, sign up below. If you find an appropriate quote in an old issue of VOCJ, photocopy the relevant page(s), highlight the passage, make sure the photocopy has the writer's name and issue number, then drop the page off in Jeff's mailbox. Since we want to get this part of the journal out of the way early, the deadline for submissions is '''January 15, 2008'''.

=== Sign up for one of these stories ===
====2012/13====
If you have an original idea for an article, write that up and submit that first. If you don't have any ideas or have already submitted an article and are hankerin' to do more writing, consider writing about one of the topics below. This is a bit of an experiment to see if we can encourage submissions, cover key VOC events, and avoid getting, like, fourteen articles about longhike, say.
*first lead ladder
*harrisson washout aug 2010/ reclaim harrison hut:
**new year trip pemberton ice cap traverse

== FAQs ==
====more ideas / no dates====
'''* When should I submit my article?'''<br>
- new voc website - Marius Muja
If it's ready now, by all means, submit it now. Otherwise you have until February 11, 2008, but the earlier you submit, the better. Any articles submitted later than the deadline will not make it into the journal.<br>
- first veenstra traverse? info worth including in the latter ones?
'''* How many articles can I submit?'''<br>
- first womyn only trip/ski traverse?
Well, try to submit one, at least. Submit as many articles as you'd like, but if you send in more than two, be prepared to have some of your articles cut, since we'd like everyone to have an opportunity to have an article printed.<br>
- veenstra fast and light editions: McBride in 48h, Blackcomb*Currie in a  day, Harrsion to Brew
'''* How do I submit articles and photos?'''<br>
- voc exile to Calgary: phil T, kat V, the Breakys - more?
Send them to Jeff Mottershead as attachments. Be sure to include your full name ''somewhere'', either in the body of the e-mail or in the article itself, especially if you have a cryptic username like jizzmonkey69.<br>
- cubroom movies
'''* How does a VOCJ article differ from a trip report?'''<br>
- recurring trips - history, how long they lasted, most memorable ones (brew hut debacle, longhike, son of rocks, sphinx camp during reading week, idian arm kayaking, hotspring tradition, new year trip at phelix....)
A trip report can be a VOCJ article, but a VOCJ article needn't be a trip report. And rather than just copying and pasting your TR into a file and submitting it, you could make the editor happy by making sure that the article is coherent and has a clear beginning and conclusion.<br>
- fundraising for SAR / Avalanche Canada?
'''* Does my story have to be an epic?'''<br>
Not at all. A good journal article will inform or entertain—perhaps both—and although epics are natural fodder for entertaining stories, trip stories where everything goes smoothly can be just as fresh and edifying. Conversely, an epic, poorly written up, does not a good article make. <br>
'''* What will you do to my article once I submit it?'''<br>
The editor will fact-check proper names and edit the article for spelling (per ''Canadian Oxford Dictionary''), grammar, style (per ''Chicago Manual''), usage, and clarity. He may also suggest structural changes (moving paragraphs around) for better flow and cuts for length and conciseness. If necessary the editor will also eliminate libel and other inappropriate content.<br>
'''* How will the editing process work?'''<br>
The copy editors will edit your article electronically and send it back to you, with queries if something needs to be clarified. You'll have three days to go over the edited article and return it to the editor. Please don't rewrite the article at this stage—only answer the queries and make changes just to correct an outright error.<br>
'''* Will you crop my photos?'''<br>
The designer may have to crop your photos to fit, yes. If you want to insist that your image not be cropped, submit it with your desired crop and specify in the body of the e-mail to which the image is attached that you don't want it cropped. We'll do our best to accommodate your wishes. Note that all photos submitted will more likely than not be resized.<br>
'''* What resolution do the photos have to be?'''<br>
Photos that accompany an article should be at least 300 dpi at 4.5 inches (11.5 cm) wide. Stand-alone photos for the colour sections should be at least 300 dpi at about 6 inches (15.25 cm) wide. However, when you submit your photos, simply submit them in as high a resolution as possible and let the designer worry about converting them. You can lose photo quality if you convert them improperly or save them in an inappropriate format.<br>
'''* Can I submit photos with nudity or use swear words in my article?'''<br>
This year's editor is a bit of a dirtball, so to expect the journal to be devoid of nudity would be being a bit delusional. However, the journal ''will'' be going out to some respectable types, so the decorum should be kept somewhat high. Decorum is kind of relative, though, so in short: tasteful nudity only. And make sure that ''all'' parties in the photo (nude or not) have given you permission to reproduce their image in a publication that will be archived for posterior. Er, posterity. As for swear words, some epics are definitely expletive-worthy, and the editor's not out to censor anyone. But, as with any (ahem) literary device, if you abuse expletives they'll lose their impact. Use only what you need to get your point across.<br>


== VOCJ 50 Style sheet ==
==Topics to cover==
This is just for reference. If you're a kind soul you'll try to follow it, but if you don't, it's fine. The copy editors will fix inconsistencies in editing. But if you try to dispute an editorial decision that's specified on this style sheet, the style sheet will win.
*Founding of the club
* use Canadian spelling (per ''Canadian Oxford Dictionary'')
*Huts
* use series comma
*First nations perspective and interactions between the VOC and first nations. Contact Spencer Rasmussen/Lukas Schreiber/Vicky Alfred
* use active voice whenever possible
*Environmental impact and the VOC role in this.
* avoid using "this" and "that" as pronouns rather than demonstrative adjectives
*Climbing Faces that were opened up by VOC (ex. Europa). Jeremy Frimer, etc.
* don't use emoticons and gratuitous exclamation points. If you do they will be unceremoniously eliminated
*Classic Trips, Dances, Old Traditions, Trends of the clubs in terms of preferred activities, demographic changes
* give full names in the first mentions of any people in your article
*Deaths in adventure,
* give full names for the first mentions of any potentially unfamiliar acronyms
* VOC Babies and couples
* use single spaces after all punctuation
*Lists (presidents, award winners etc)
* use metric units; or at least give a metric conversion to any imperial units you use
*Timeline (as central page of book)
* spell out numbers from one to one hundred and all higher round numbers consisting of two words or fewer (e.g., "fourteen thousand"); use numerals for everything else, and use a comma in figures with four or more digits. (e.g., 2,568). Exception: use numerals when using decimals, metric units (e.g., 400 m, 30 km), and percentages (e.g., 28 per cent—note that "per cent" is spelled out as two words)
*VOC membership per year, through the years
* it's "gaiters," kids—not "gators." Unless you're actually talking about alligators.
*World map with routes discovered and explored by VOCers
*Regional map with routes discovered and explored by VOCers
*Life after the VOC
*VOC Awards and Winners
*Self propelled trips and trips with ridiculous transportation stories?
