JT asked me about the site's tone. In writing articles I'be running with the working assumption of a Target audience of South Australian geeks and writing on topics and in a tone that hopefully appeals to that audience. Sometimes/often this doesn't exactly amount to professional writing but if it's engaging then I say roll with it.
I encourage you to feel free to write stories and pages that you feel work for the site. If you want to write but don't have the appropriate user permission please contact me through whatever means you like and i'll usually fix you up straight away.
