March/April '11 Event: the Writers Resource

[GrooveMan.exe]

Hey all,
As we get closer to getting the VG Resource running in all its glory, we're starting to look for Writing Staff.

What does being a Writing Staff entail?
It means you're a cool dude with a passion for technology and media who wants to write about it and share it with the world.

Being Writing Staff means that once a week (or more!), you'll be putting your work up on the VG Resource for all to see. And more or less about whatever you think is relevant and interesting in the world of Video games and technology. Text entries, video entries, podcasts, we love 'em all. It's an open canvas for your creativity, baby!

What perks do I get?

INTERNET FAME

Heh. But seriously, if you're interested in writing as a career in any shape or form, doing New Media is a great way to start a portfolio, challenge yourself, and make contacts that could help you in the long run. Already running a blog or part of a similar setup? Who cares, we'd still love to have you on board! Writing for the VG Resource means exposure; and not the kind that'll get you arrested.

But regular sumbissions sounds like a lot of work...
Hey, you post on message boards every day, don't you? Writing is challenging, but not difficult, nor particularly time consuming. While writers will be working on a shedule (the best writers know how much a schedule can help you focus), what you write and when will largely be up to you. Big assignment coming up and you need time to study? We understand, don't be forced to create deadlines you can't make. But the deadlines you do set for yourself we expect you to keep! No one likes people who can't keep promises.

Bitchin'! So how do I get in on that?
Glad you're interested! I have a little competition lined up that'll challenge your writing ability and creativity. Anyone can enter, and it'll be fun and easy to take part. But first I need to know if there'll be a reasonable amount of participants.
Post your interest in this thread, and if you know any other wannnbe-writer-buddies from dA, or SA, or Livejournal, or Kotaku, or WHEREVER; drop them a link to this thread. The actual competition will be open to everyone; not just current tSRc member, so get the word out!
