Finding our voice
Nov 5th, 2007 by AliG
With the website so close to lift-off (maybe even tomorrow!), I’ve been re-checking what I’ve written so far, to ensure that the ‘voice’ of the website is both consistent and sufficiently “not me”. It’s been one of the hardest things actually – deciding on ‘the voice’.
Who would have thought I could angst so long and hard over whether to use I and me or we and us? In the end I’ve decided on the royal “we” (haha) because, even though (at the moment) it’s only me working on the site, The Gathering was always about community, and diversity, and most of all, participation.
The whole point of The Gathering archives website is that its true value lies in what YOU can bring to it – with your stories, your photos, your video, and your own experiences of each party. That’s what will make this site come alive, and why (I think) it’s such an interesting project.
And that is about as far from I and me as you can get…
