The 2008 Nearby Future Staff Contest is Here!
As a nonprofit website, this is how we stay motivated: friendly competition in the form of a quick, 3 question survey.
More dramatically titled, THE NEARBY FUTURE STAFF CONTEST.
Think of it as the Presidential Elections. On a smaller scale.

You may want to know a thing or two about the staff members. Look below to read up on each member.
The Staff
Rika: Rika is the sarcastic, opinionated admin of the site. This quirky writer is known for her procrastinating and position on the corn-is-not-fuel controversy. Seriously. You do not want to bring up that subject unless you want a long monologue about the starving countries and fuel crisis. “What? Is our society a sucker for drinks with pretty labels and witty text? Can anyone put a bright, happy label on something that is obviously unhealthy for us and still get us to buy it?”
“
Hope: As her name suggests, Hope is all for bringing hope and knowledge back into the world. The topics she writes about range from helping impoverished countries to advances in technology. Unlike the other journalists of our time, Hope shows us cold hard facts not only to prove a point, but to inform us of both sides of the issue. “When is it going to stop? Create a great phone at a great price, and BAM! That’s how you get money.”
Jala: An author in her own right, book-loving Jala has a creative mind that is constantly coming up with alternate endings and turning points to her favorite books. She’s wise and well read, but sticks to more contemporary pieces instead of classics. “Not everyone you know has a whole shelf in their library’s ‘on hold’ section dedicated to them.”
Jennith: Jennith loves reading and animals- and reading about animals! She’s an advocate for the ASPCA and her articles take on all sorts of topics with a unique attitude and approach. -No quote available-
Piratical Lord of the Guitars: The music advocate for the world, Piratical Lord of the Guitars is all for preserving the art we know today as music. She writes about everything from music to newest technological advances, and takes everything very seriously- but often with a fun twist! She also helps manage the website. “A new game has been discovered! It’s dull, boring, and a complete waste of time, but you’ve got to try it!”
Calister F. Wells: is the only staff member who is not going to be in this contest.
The Contributers
Nero: No comment.
Socrates: Takes after the philosopher and writes philosophies.
JD: The newest addition to the staff, JD is sarcastic, cynical and witty.
Popfiddlerprincess: Another new addition to the staff, Popfiddlerprincess has yet to write any articles- but she has an awesome name!
How come Nero has no comment? He’s not represented in any way and that could possibly sway the voters choice. Tsk Tsk
why is socrates pink?
1- I have no comment for Nero. I wrote all of the contributer’s sections
2- I don’t know, it’s kind of funny though
you wrote everyone’s section and I could see why you wouldn’t say anything there’s not really words and it is kinda funny I never thought of socrates to be a pink lover.
If I still win the contributer’s contest, I’m going to retire, because I CAN NOT top winning a contest in which nothing was known about me.
If the readers wanted to know anything about you, they’d read your articles.
how can you retire when you’ve done close to nothing
I haven’t done close to nothing. ‘Close to nothing,’ is the effect of Rika’s comm– Whoah. Almost got blocked there. Anyway, ‘close to nothing’ is the effect we have on the general opinion of Earth. The planet. And I can retire whenever I so choose. And fine, a contest in which nothing was revealed about me on the ballot article thing.
Well you don’t have to worry about ‘retiring’, PLOTG won first!
Sorry that was a mean comment, you do a lot for the sight when you think about it. Yea you don’t have a lot of articles but the one’s you do write are really good. Plus you don’t really need a summary about yourself because the majority of your articles are articles that you wrote concerning issues you relate to. Oh and good job!
Ahaha. You too. I knew I wouldn’t win anyway. But I was going to NEVER let it go if I did.
it would’ve been epic if you would’ve and I think the whole staff you would’ve never let you forget, and what are blushing about?
oops blushing thing was on different page, nevermind.
…
Did you just say epic? Did you just defile that word with your mouth?
Cuz if so, that’s AWESOME! I’ve never gotten anybody to say epic. I don’t think. Unless Rika said it once or twice or every other word…
