Japanator wants writers -- are you up to it?
Brad Rice \| 12:41 AM on 10.18.2008	33 comments

Everyone's favorite site about tentacles, anime, and all things Japanese is looking to bring on a few more writers. If you've got a hankering to talk about any or all of these, then that's the energy we're looking for.

If you're going to take the plunge, send an email to brad[at]japanator[dot]com, with a little info about yourself, why you want to write for Japanator, and either links to works that you've already done or whip up a few articles and attach them to the email.

I look forward to hearing from y'all!

I have the Lagann skull painted on the back of my jacket, pick me.

This would be cool, but I don't have any articles. I'm more of an "essay" guy than an "article" guy. Oh the horrors of an English major in a Journalism world.

I'd love to get paid to write, but unfortunately, I'm shit at it.

Anime and I have a strange relationship. I sometimes visit it whenever I hear of something special, but most of the time I'm laughing at the countless Naruto clones or annoyed at the lack of animation in anime.

I don't like it when a character moves twice in 5 minutes...

No, I'll stick with my Western comics and cartoons, thank you.

Destructoid needs a comic book blog! Now!

I'd LOVE to, but I'll wait for something bigger...

You know, I'm dying to be a "professional blogger," but I just do not go for Japanese pop culture and the like. And I don't think I could fake that energy. Sorry. :(

That would be cool, but I'm sure there are people better suited fro it than I.

Video games blog, toys/collectibles blog, Japanese enthusiasts blog, and comics blog?

That would be the perfect nerd network.

I'd try out for it sure.

Can I be a writer for Nextlust? It's my dream to work with someone World Famous.

hmm... maybe if Japanator had oooh I don't know, cblogs then you guys could get some ideas as to who's a good writer there.

seriously... cblogs, you guyz need 'em.

(In know way am I saying myself, I'm no writer, I suck, I've just been waiting for some Japanator cblogs)

Just waiting for a Moviekick opening to pop up?

Oh sorry, too soon?

Fuck, Alex is on the right track. A Comic Blog would be amazing. THAT'd be something I could do no problem.

Usedtabe says:
(# 16) on 10/18/2008 10:22

Yes. A comic book blog. I'd article the shit out of some comic books.

Wow, that header image is a great summery of the reasons I don't go there.

Incidentally, if you need a blogger for anything else whatsoever, I'm your man. I have no shame and I'm an anal speller. I also give and receive.

Add community blogs and we will all be writers.

Why isn't Necros writing for Japanator?

Cowboy TTop says:
(# 23) on 10/18/2008 20:25

I totally agree with the Japanator blogs idea, as I'm sure I'd post more there if too.

Another thing Japanator needs is that my Dtoid login should work on it too. This is a key reason I don't visit Japanator as much as I'd like to.

Don't judge all anime and manga by the ecchi side of a pic. There's some good stuff out there, the same way that not all games are like Manhunt or GTA.

I want a latin blog. The language, not the people

@Alex

no racists plz.

Blake says:
(# 26) on 10/19/2008 01:04

I would, but I don't watch NEARLY enough Recent Anime. Plus, you'd end up with an article every 3 weeks or so.

Chicken008 says:
(# 27) on 10/19/2008 15:01

That would be rad, I'm not really a writer though.

Also, I've noticed that picture seems to be in use a lot at Japanator and Tomopop.

Zac Bentz says:

Cblogs on Japanator? Wow, we never thought of that until just now!

THANKS GUYS!

Also, more people need to talk about how they want to be writers, but have never written anything and don't want to write anything for anyone. I mean, that's super helpful.

/bitchy sarcasm and back to slaving away for hours on Jtor Radio.

I sent an e-mail! Do I win?

Roody says:
(# 31) on 10/24/2008 22:52

I sent an email. No response, but I'm assuming you guys are either super busy or don't send replies unless you're interested.

Did I lose? :P
