Zomg Magazine: Anime Review position open!

**Starstreaker** · 02-07-2010, 10:02 PM

As the title implies.

The magazine will be increasing its overall number of articles so we need more staff in producing reviews.

What we're looking for is someone well versed in englished language and communication skills.

They can construct well stuctured reviews on a subject showing both positives and negatives to give a structured view.

At least some form of experience in literation skills. Doesn't neccesarily need to be a job but you have at least some experience in writing. (sounds stupid but i don't want to babyfeed people constantly so to speak.)

send applications to me,fanofde, expertee and soph

CLOSING DATE FOR THIS IS FEBRUARY THE 21ST!!THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS

He obviously means for the reviewer to be objective when constructing the article. It's how most reviews work.

^that right thereis saying u want postives and negatives in the review meaning your not persuading the person in like a normal review. that line right there basically is telling me u want the review to leave the opnion reader to decide.

in most reviews u take a side. i liked it... i didnt like it..... then they go on to explain.

im just asking cause i dont wanna send in something and get reply U DID IT WRONG GTFOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Yo. What exactly do these applications require?
I think it'd be cool if someone handed me an anime and asked me to review it, since I'd like to broaden my scope in anime. I pretty much take anime viewing in itself as a job and can't stand to be without one to watch.
(Still waiting impatiently for Kimi ni Todoke's new episode)
However, if you want me to review something I've already seen, then I might get Parents' Indecisiveness Syndrome and become unable to pick something.
So yeah, if you want a sample of me reviewing something, I can't quite help you, but I have a few original stories. Forgive me if I'm blatantly advertising. I'll shut up about the stories.

I would say I'm pretty well versed in the English language, but at the same time try to give a casual atmosphere so my posts aren't threatening. I really enjoy the layout and much of the userbase of ZA, though I do wish less mainstream anime would be displayed at the header. ):
OK, that was off topic.

Anyways, if you set stuff in stone I'd be able to help you out. In other words, give me a title, a deadline for viewing, a deadline for reviewing.
Good stuff might happen, etc.

[edit]: Seems I've accidentally posted pretty much my application. I think.
Oh well.

**Starstreaker** · 02-17-2010, 03:39 AM

i should've closed this >.>

**Zashiki Warashi** · 02-17-2010, 03:48 AM

Yeah, probably a good idea.
So should I make this formal and just send my previous post?
Kinda' redundant but hey.
