Grand Line Vine Editor Application
The Grand Line Vine is looking for editors!
We're looking for editors who can take a day or two every week to compile the newsletter. Editors compile the newsletter by visiting a list of watched sites, tagging the news for characters/rating/spoilers, and putting all the news for that day in a standard template. This takes anywhere between half an hour to two hours, although the latter is rare.
The newsletter is currently published in the morning (Eastern Time), but that will likely be changed to the evening to fit editors' schedules better.
Requirements:
1) Editors should have reliable control of their Internet access. If access can be taken away by parents, guardians, etc. so that you cannot compile the newsletter, notify the other editors in a timely matter, or respond quickly to other editors, you should not apply.
2) Editors should list all news items that are relevant to One Piece fandom, regardless of bias or preference.
3) Editors should be reliable. They should try to never miss issues and should always notify the other editors when they know they'll be missing an issue.
4) Editors should be familiar with One Piece canon so that they know how to list all the news items. Being completely caught up on the manga is a plus. If you're not caught up, you will be exposed to spoilers, so if you prefer not to be spoiled, this might not be the job for you!
Please note that editing the newsletter will likely involve exposure to spoilers and fanworks that don't suit your taste; NC-17 images and stories; tedious days with single fans posting dozens of fanworks; and dealing politely with people whose work you may have mislisted, who misunderstood the newsletter policies, or who have other questions or concerns. Even if you find some of these fanworks offensive or some of these people rude, you would still have to list everything fairly and be polite at all times, so you should probably have a tough skin and plenty of patience.
Benefits: Fame! Fortune! A warm fuzzy glow!
If you meet these requirements, please fill out the application below and send it to grand.line.vine@gmail.com and you should receive a response in a few days =D
