How to Apply as an Editor
To apply as an editor, please follow these simple rules:
Copy and Paste the following application form (minus the examples), and e-mail it to the following address:
With the subject heading of:
Editor Application
Editor Application
Name: (Such as Princess Frodo, or Hitokiri Hime, not your real name!! Unless you use that on the Wired, then that's your own thing....)
Age: (This is more of a legality thing. Yes, people can say 3 Billion and I won't care, because I wouldn't be able to know otherwise, and wouldn't be able to get in trouble with the Fed's over it.)
Preferences: (Do you want only G-R Works? Humor only? I need to be informed, so I don't accidentally send someone some thing too intense. And, for those of you with their minds in the gutters, If you say NC-17 only, you get posted as a G- NC-17 Editor!! And yes, there are NC-17 Humor Works online, but they're in very bad taste.)
Speed: (How many Works can you handle in an average week. You may just say how many pages you can handle, I will try to send only Works in about that size your way.)
References: (This may or may not apply. Basically, it's asking if you have any experience editing Works online. Have you edited manga translations? Have you edited FanFiction?)
Languages: (Due to the fact that many Works tend to cross the language barrier, it would be nice to know if you are proficient in any language in particular. Like Princess Frodo's 3 years of High School German. She isn't fluent, but she can get the gist. Are you, or have you, taken any language classes at all?)
HTML Knowledge: (Some Works may be submitted in HTML format, and it would be nice to know if it's all right to forward it to you in that same format. It can be transferred into TEXT format easily by Princess Frodo, so don't worry if you don't know HTML.)
Well, that's about all the requirements to become an Editor. Be warned though, if an Author begins to complain about an Editor's attitude, and can back it up with proof, that Editor will be denied Editor status.
So be kind to the Author, no matter how much patience it takes. You can always turn off your computer and kick back with a soda at the end of the day. You would be surprised how much a good cat nap can help!!
