Breaking news! The Fuwanovel Blog's new editor-in-chief makes daring move to recruit new writers!

[Zakamutt]

 

*ahem*

Do you like to write?
Do you want to contribute to the VN community?

If so, being a writer for Fuwanovel's blog might be right up your alley.

The blog has been in a sad state of neglect for quite a while; I am currently the only author writing articles with any regularity. With your help, we can change that. I am looking to take on new writers, and I'll be damned if we can't make this baby grow into something beautiful.

First of all, I want to make our news coverage much better. I'm just one (moderately lazy) man, and catching everything just hasn't worked out. With that said, I'm also very interested in interviews, opinion pieces, analysis and anything else VN-related that would interest our readers. I'm all for inclusivity (blame me being Swedish), so I'm looking for pieces touching on not just the more mainstream titles, but also for otome, girl's love, boy's love, and original English language visual novels of all kinds.

I make two exceptions: one, reviews - that department's headed by solidbatman. You're more than welcome to send him a PM if you're interested. Two, VNs that are pure porn (nukige). I don't have anything against them personally, but they're really not helping the current Western stigma of "dating sims" all being straight-up porn games. With that said, this mostly applies to news coverage; analysis/opinion on the subject could still go through depending on the concept.


If you're interesting in joining my team, send me a PM with an example of your writing and what you'd like to write about for the blog. I'll accept articles you've previously written, but the ideal would be something that could go up on the blog straightaway. If your writing checks out, you'll be put through a probationary period where you have to write one article every two weeks; if you keep it up, you will become fully part of the writing team. As editor-in-chief, I'll be working with you on what pieces to write. I'll also be editing your articles for flow, grammar and so on.

I hope to hear from you soon.

I'm interested in writing a few articles, but I don't have enough periodic content to provide to deserve having blog rights.

Is it fine if we make things go through you ?

 

I have a couple ideas in mind.

Well, i always thought about helping Fuwanovel, in a way or another, so helping you with the blog would be a good idea but...i'm not sure if i can help well, especially since i don't have a native english, and the fact i'm still a beginner at Visual Novels.

I'm okay with taking freelance articles as well. Do contact me.

[solidbatman]

Sure. Lemme

I thought for a second about expanding my mini-reviews of VNs from each month and offering to add them to the blog, but then I went 'meh, too much trouble'.

What type of articles are you looking for? I would be happy to help if I can just don't expect any recent writings for proof of ability. It's been quite some time since I wrote anything semi-official.

Thanks for the clarification. I'll  get some of the ideas in my head written down and see if anything bares fruit.

I'd like to apply. Oh wait...

I should assume Zakamutt is still watching this thread, yes?

 

Being the all-powerful writer-god that I am, I've considered jumping into the blog myself with some articles on writing, particularly fiction novels and the creation of our almighty VNs.  While I have very little experience in actual blog-writing, and most of my knowledge actually comes from other sites I've researched across the boundaries of time and space, I'm hoping my involvement may or may not result in an increase in the amount of higher-quality VNs released that come from this particular corner of the internet.

 

I could also write some 'general pieces', but that depends on what kind of stuff is needed.  I'd rather take those on a case-by-case basis.

 

I tend to take a bit much upon myself during these phases of my life, so I surely can't promise anything, but I'll certainly make an effort.  It's nice to meet you.

Send me a PM if you do come up with something.

Sent you a PM.

In hopes that you're still accepting freelance work, I've polished up my thoughts on Narcissu. Whereas the thread I started was just as extensive rambling of my thoughts regarding both Narcissu 1 and Side Second, the paper I just wrote is an organized analysis of just Narcissu 1.

For transparency: I've looked at his PM and replied, but I feel obligated to read Narcissu first it because the post contains spoilers. What little I read looked good though, so you're likely to see this up next week.

I'm thrilled. I've wanted to send something to the blog for a while now, but nothing inspired my writing until I read Narcissu and couldn't stop thinking about it.
