Name: Olivia
LJ Name: heroesknowitall
Job applying for: Back up editor (I'm from the UK and I was wondering would the time difference cause any problems?)
Night(s) available: Saturday or Sunday
Favourite character: Naruto ♥
Favourite chapter or story arc: Chapter 437 /is a sucker for NaruHina :3
Do you have any experience with updating newsletters or being a community mod? Yes, I run a newsletter community on here (maid_sama_news) and I am also a maintainer/mod for a revision based community (cubeshine) on LiveJournal.
Why you think we should hire you:
My best friend introduced me to Naruto just over a year ago and I've been hooked ever since. I'm taking part in the LeeGaara summer exchange on LJ so I'm still actively involved in writing for the fandom. As I mentioned before I also have experience in posting newsletters on this website.

Hello! I'd love to have you on the team. :)

I pulled out the time zone converter to figure out times. A back-up would need to step in if the daily editor doesn't post by 1 AM EST for their night (I guess that's technically the morning of the next day). That's 7 AM GMT, and I believe the general rule is that the back-up would post between 1 am EST and 10 am EST, so you would need to be able to post between 7 am GMT and 4 pm GMT of the following day.

That being the case, I need a back-up for Fridays, so that would mean you'd need to be able to post on Saturday morning. In the event that the daily editor requests a back-up, you could still post in the morning since I don't expect you to post at 5 am, lol.

Are there any other days you'd be interested in? Saturday and Wednesday are covered, but the rest are open if you'd like to take on an additional day. :) Let me know! I've also sent an invite to the comm for you.

Great! :)

So for Fridays if I needed to back-up the daily editor the newsletter would need to be posted before 4PM GMT on Saturday?

I'll stick to being a back-up for Fridays for the time being so I can figure all this out. Just out of curiosity, are there any other posters from outside the U.S.?

[isolabela]

Yep, that would be the time to post by. If you can post earlier, do, because sometimes it can make for uneven digests (as in, you're digest would be really huge, and the next digest would have, like, 2 links. It happens!).

We do have non-US editors, but I'm a terrible mod and can't remember who right now. I'm pretty sure we have someone from Australia on staff.

Name: Toboe
LJ Name: toboe_lonewolf
Job applying for: Sunday editor
Night(s) available: Fri/Sat/Sun

Favorite character: Tenten
Favorite chapter or story arc: fillers because they're so silly it's perfect for macros Hm, I guess it'd be the Rescue Gaara arc, simply because it was the first major mission for Naruto post-timeskip and also included Team Gai.
Do you have any experience with updating newsletters or being a community mod? Nope, but I've been following naruto_news for a while
Why you think we should hire you: I haz HTML skillz. Been part of the fandom about 4 years now, and I like creating lists being organized.

Heya! I'd love to have you on as the Sunday editor. :) Check your invites page to get access to the community. I'm going to pull together an new-and-improved intro post on my day off tomorrow, so keep an eye out for that. :)

[toboe_lonewolf]

Awesome! Glad to be on board! :D

Will I be doing this Sunday's post, or will azh_hikari be doing one last one?

[isolabela]

You can go ahead and do the Sunday post this week since azh_hikari had to move to being just a back-up due to scheduling issues. :)
