✏️ The Task

In preparation for the Camp Release we are trying to update the hood.ie site. This specific writing task involves adding content to the Hoodie Animals page to give readers a better idea of our revolving cast of animal characters. 🐶

• Claim this issue (@matsieftw)
• Ping us on Twitter or in our Hoodie Chat so we can share an image of our alpaca with you :)
• Write a bio between 200-400 words long.
• Submit to @renrutnnej @Charlotteis or @janl for review (Google docs probably work best for this sort of thing)
• You are done 👏 comment below that your content is ready for review 🎉

Ping us in the Hoodie Chat or on Twitter if you have any questions :)

It's an Alpaca, very important ™️ :)

No, they're not at all. Alpacas make the softest softest teddy bears and blankets ever <3
Alpaca fur teddy:

(don't worry - they shear it off like we do with sheep)

I'd love to write a bio for an alpaca!!

[jennwrites]

Thanks @matsieftw, I'll assign you to the issue! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help get you started ☺️

[jennwrites]

Hey @matsieftw I just wanted to check in with you to see how you're doing with the Alpaca bio ☺️

[matsieftw]

@renrutnnej Hey there! Sorry this took me a day to respond. I have a rough draft that I did and am returning to later this afternoon.

[matsieftw]

Hey y'all. I just finished my draft for the design alpaca.

Lovely :) Thanks a lot for that. Made a few small suggestions, if that's alright.

Apologies in advance: I'm still totally overthinking the name, wondering if we should allude to some famous painter or designer or someone with a connection to the Andes. Thinking of László (as in Moholy-Nagy ) or Alexander von Humboldt, who explored the Andes. On the other hand, those are two white male Europeans, so that's a bit dull. Alessandro, maybe? Dunno.

Anway, feel free to disregard that whole paragraph :) You invented this Alpaca, you get to name him!

I'm working on getting this bio onto the editorial calendar so we can release it @matsieftw ☺️

[matsieftw]

Oh wow. Great. Let me know if there's anything I can do.
