We're looking for volunteers to join SilverFork on the news team.

Your task as a newsposter would be to locate news stories relating to Final Fantasy and Square-Enix, and of general interest to RPG fans, and report on them for CoN's front page news.

We're after people with the following qualities:

• Enthusiasm about games to the point of enjoying searching out news about them;
• A good grasp on proper usage of English, including spelling and grammar;
• Prepared to spend time to ensure their news reports are of the highest quality possible.

You would be required to make a certain number of news posts per month - that number will depend on the number of staff we take on to the position.

If you're interested, please e-mail climhazzard@cavesofnarshe.com to let us know. Please provide a sample news article in the e-mail, exactly as you would post it to our news forum if you had the job. Feel free to ask any questions either by replying to this post or sending e-mail as detailed above (though if it is a general question with an answer that could well benefit other potential applicants, the former would be preferred).

We look forward to hearing from you!

I sent an "application". I only have 1 question. Are there any known "liars" about RPG news out there? Nobody would want to post fake stuff.

EDIT: Thanks for the info, SilverFork. Another question. When will the announcement of who made the cut be?

eh?

I don't think you'll have to worry 'bout that. Posting fake news really wouldn't benefit someone else's site any more than it'd benefit this one. Most, if not all news-heavy gaming sites out there are perfectly reliable, and I'll be more than happy to point you towards several if you aren't already familiar with a wide range of sources yourself.

I'm curious. Can a person freelance write? I might be able to do one or two, but I doubt I could reguraly write news articles. I'm pretty sure others are like this as well.

At the moment we're seeking people who could create a dedicated network of newsposters to work together on a consistent basis to post news. We have been kicking around an idea similar to yours for several months, and may at some point revisit it, but at the moment we're looking for people who feel they have the time to give. If you'd like to apply, feel free to do so and mention that in your application, and we'll take it under consideration.

We've had a pretty good response so far, and will be taking applications until probably this coming weekend for anyone still on the fence.
