It sounds quite interesting and, I must admit, something I've wanted to do but...I'm not very good with commitments or writing.
Go for it cheeky!

i was thinking of applying but then again, although i can be online 24-7, i think i'm not up for the job.
being a moderator gives you headaches, trust me i've been there.
good luck for those who're trying out though!

| Well... I sent my application yesterday. I guess all we can do now is wait. Good luck to everyone else. Quote: I have a question about the news article.. Does it have to be something like n article in a newspaper..?? Nope. I had the same question The whole point is so that Emma can check if your grammar and spelling is good. It can be a short story, it can be anything. |

Thanks! Obviously dedication to the site is necessary and being new that wouldn't be evident. But I'm not about to disregard a good application simply because you only just joined, that would be silly. So try regardless. And it can be either. I just want to see how people write. Quote:
If I do I have a question...The article we write...what does it have to be? Can it be an opinion piece or a review of a movie or book or what?
Anything. Quote:
How long does this article actually have to be?
A couple of paragraphs. Please don't make it pages long! Quote:
wait do we have to be sorted to apply?
No. Quote:
Does it have to be something like n article in a newspaper..??
Well online articles are different so preferably no. Quote:
is there is any age limit ??
Not really. I would prefer applicants to be 16+ if not older though. Quote:

No.

I shall have my application sent as soon as I've written an article. I love this kind of thing! I always got really good marks for assignments like this in my high school english classes. How exciting!
Emma, is it possible to keep our house-coloured username if we get the job?

Well there are many many details and it'd take a long time to go into it all. I've summarised it but I'll only go into great depth with those who I choose.

Does that mean that if we're under 16 we can't apply?? |
