Ellie_Penguin Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I have to say you guys did a great job! I read all of the applications and they're very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOOM Bringer Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Don't forget about your entry Ellie! Yours is really interesting too. It would be useful to me, except comics and art stuff isn't really for me. However, if I ever discover hidden artistic abilities or feel the urge to make a comic, then that guide will be the first one I go to for advice. :P Lot's of entries came in while I was asleep and some of them are REALLY good. I don't like my chances :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie_Penguin Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Thank you DOOM! Even if I don't make it, I'll make that guide better and put it on my petpages and make new guides for other areas of Neopian Times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Gack! I don't stand a chance of writing an article nearly as good as the ones that have been submitted... if I ever get round to writing one. <_< *Glares at time constraints* Oh well, good luck to everybody who's applied/planning to apply! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOOM Bringer Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Perhaps you should try and write that Last Blast guide you were planning? Just a suggestion... *disappears* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 That's what I'm hoping to do. The problem is that I don't have that much time to take the screenies and write a decent guide (and even if I did have time I doubt it would measure up to what everybody else has done). :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOOM Bringer Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Well if you ever find the time to write one, you definitely should. I am interested to see you use your writing skills in a guide. I'm sure you could make it as a content writer, but time constraints are definitely a killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley! Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I have sent in an application to the person who created this topic. On the other topic it said posting was locked so I decided to send it. I was a little confused. xD But hopefully I did the right thing, anyways, hello everyone, I am a newly registered person on TDN and my name is Ashley. You can call me Ashley, Ash or Peanut or whichever you'd really like. I like nicknames. =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zac Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 You'll want to post your application here. Good Luck! I really like your article Ellie! very creative! :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Great applications guys! We're getting together on Tuesday to review them. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sloth Von Karma Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Wow, so many articles in just one day! There are a lot of people aspiring to be Content Writers, eh? I like that. :) Many people apply for this kind of staff position because it gives you a lot of freedom - you can write about basically anything related to Neopets and you believe is helpful for other members, while us Battlepedia Staffers have to write essentially about the Battledome (not that I'm complaining, I love my job!), so that's most likely why not many people applied for Battlepedia Staff. Now, going through the staff applications, I've definitely seen some "you are already hired" ones, and one or two that are just "sorry, not good enough". I obviously won't mention names, as it's Ian and the staff which will decide who gets in or not, I'm just voicing my opinion. Presentation and organization is very important in a staff application, not to mention the correct, and fluent use of coherent English. Right now, I'd say that the best ones are Ellie and DOOM Bringer's (I said I wouldn't mention names, but I had to mention these) :P. But those are just my thoughts. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zac Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 So battlepedia staff don't get any opinion in the hirings? :P Would a content writer stil lbe able to write battledome-related content? Or is it restricted to the battlepedia writers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 You have the freedom to contribute whatever you wish, but your main focus is main-site stuff. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zac Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Sounds Good. :) I look forward to Tuesday / Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie_Penguin Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I updated my "Experience" section with a link to my Jolly Jugglers' Guide. Just keep in mind that hasn't been updated in a long time and it needs a lot of fixing, but I plan to update it with new images that I've been collecting and fix the writing, too. But, just to give you an idea of what I've done before. It was a very successful guide and I got lots of thank you neomails. And thank you Sloth Von Karma! I feel very flattered :) and I'm glad to hear my guide could be useful for people. EDIT: I have added a new guide. Link is in my application (if any of you want to take a look).

Or is it restricted to the battlepedia writers? Well, it's not really my department, but we will have a say on the hirings, yes. No offense, Zac, but I believe it's best to leave battledome writing to us, since we have more experience. If you wanted to write battledome articles, you should have applied for Battlepedia Staff. Neverthless, content writers can basically write anything outside battledome, so you have a huge array of things to write about. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Well don't close the applications just yet, because there's a last minute one coming in. :D That's right, I got an unexpected break and managed to throw together a Last Blast guide (I never realised taking screenies for game guides was such a skill :P ). It still won't stand up to the other ones that have been submitted, but I'll feel better for giving it a shot. :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOOM Bringer Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Woohoo! That's great AA, I can't wait to see your guide. I actually need some Last Blast tips, so your guide might be useful to me in the future. Good luck mate! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sloth Von Karma Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Not here, please...there is a specific topic you should post in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 @Tom: All right, my application's done, so you should be able to see the link to my Last Blast article. :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOOM Bringer Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Yep I've already taken a look at it. I'll glanced over the guide, but I'll read it fully in a minute or two. I did notice that there were a lot of screenshots and pictures though, did you make them all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Yes. It was a bit of a pain actually, which is why I said: I never realised taking screenies for game guides was such a skill :P But I learned a few tricks while I was at it. :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOOM Bringer Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Wow, my guide needed only two screenshots, but I suppose the Last Blast is a lot longer and more complicated. Anyway, good guide and good luck to everybody who entered (they're reviewing the entries today right?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Well, I sincerely hope they didn't review them yesterday. :P So here's the big question: was my guide helpful? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take a look at AA's guide. ^_^ Edit: Long guide, AA, but great content. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
