Content Writers NEEDED

[jngeorge]

Alright, here's the deal. I meet a guy named Daniel, and he's got this killer Brawl site. I've been helping him improve it, but sadly, it's going very slowly as it is only a two-man show as of right now.

TheBrawl.net is, in my opinion, a very cool website... Daniel and a few of his friends are quite fluent in the coding of HTML, graphics, and whatnot. The only thing this site lacks is CONTENT.

The minimum people we need is two, but there isn't really a maximum. If you are interested, please email me at j.n.george@hotmail.com. For the subject, please put: Brawl Content.

REQUIREMENTS
-You must have original content ready to send to me.
-You must have the ability to write in proper english. (lol, btw, wtf, etc. is NOT accepted in content.)
-You must have a wide vocabulary range.
-If you could provide your own screenshots, that'd be GREAT. If you have no idea how to do so, or if you don't know what I'm talking about, then forget this step.
-Have access to a reliable website with information about Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

This is the application I'd like you to follow:
-Real name. Last name is not required, but first name is.
-Gender, if you have a unisex name. (Pat, etc.)
-Age.
-Email address.
-MSN. If you don't have MSN, then please skip this part.
-Any past experience with working with websites.
-Piece of original content, attached to the email.

All applications will be considered, and every email will be replied to within a few days of receiving it. Thank you for your time.

--EDIT--
I've had questions about what I mean by original content. This just means something that you've written in the past to send to me, so I can get a feel for your writing technique, and maybe give you jobs that might be best for you.

[jngeorge]

I had a question on an application regarding what I mean by Brawl Content. What I mean is information about the game.

For example, I've made a list of all the stages and brief descriptions, a list of all the items and brief descriptions, and such and such.

Stuff like that would make this project go a LOT faster, so please apply if you are even remotely interested.

I can't help the site out but I can give you recognition by affiliation? Hyrule Courtyard

[jngeorge]

Daniel says he is NOT interested in affiliation, so that pretty much narrows it down to content.

[brawlboy20]

yeah i just checked out the site, and it does look like it could use an update...

this is austin by the way

So... are you ever planning to answer the email I sent you...? -_-

I'm in the same situation.

I appologize that I couldn't help out, jngeorge.

Best of luck.

I never got an email... Could you resend it? I'm sorry, I would have answered it sooner, but I never got one.

OKLEY DOKLEY. To the people who would like to help but don't own the game:

Send me an email with the subject "Example". In this email, you can either attach or write some sort of short guide such as a character guide for example. And it doesn't have to be Brawl, it could be Zelda or Mario or Final Fantasy. Preferably, though, I'd like Brawl. This is a test to see how good your analysis of the game is without having it.

(I have a confession to make: I didn't actually own the game until about an hour ago, but that doesn't mean that you have to get the game, too!)

Actually, he updated it two days ago.

nice website, I wouldn't mind helping out but
I don't have anything to take screenshots with except a camera, and than you would get annoying little lines everywhere.
Sorry

Oh, heh. Sorry, I thought you were just ignoring me.

EDIT: All right, sent!

You don't HAVE to be able to send screenshots. It's just something that we'd like to have once in a while, maybe to spruce up some stuff in the future. We don't mind, though. Feel free to send your application in!
_____________________________

To anybody actually ABLE to get screenshots put up on the Internet (without the resolution lines!):

I'm currently writing a Subspace Emissary guide, and I'd like to be able to provide screenshots along with it. If you can put screenshots online, could you email me please?

j.n.george@hotmail.com

Please include one or two screenshots along with the email, and put the subject as "Brawl Screenshots".

[Lieutenant Lollipop]

I'm willing to accept the position. Though I'm european and I can't potentially have Brawl yet.

Other than that, I'm wholeheartedly willing to participate as a Content Writer for your site.

First off, you can take, and save, screenshots IN THE GAME, then send them, via online through the game, to a friend on your list. Thus, you can record 3 minute videos, and take screenshots, and send them to someone who can put them online.

So... that factoid should be a non-factor.

Feel free to either send your application to me via PM or email (although I'd prefer email). Make sure you make the subject "Brawl Content" so I know what the email is about. I tend to delete emails that appear to be spam.

To anyone who will probably use this method:

1) I don't have Wi-Fi as of right now, but I will soon.
2) I don't know how to put them online myself.
3) I don't know anybody who does, so don't ask me.

So basically, if you don't know somebody who can do this, then search around, because you're on your OWN.

Any questions?
