Website coming soon, need writers.

[Salanewt]

I have a question or two...

1. Will we be able to see the options from underneath out avatar(s) (under the banner) on the website?

2. How many people have applied? From what it sounds, nobody seems to have the time to help out.

Have a nice day.

Edit: Silly me, I already know the answer to question 1 (and they are still at the top).

[Atrius (He/Him)]

I've only received one application so far.

For all you people who said you wanted to help, I can't really trust you to submit anything if you're too lazy to send in an application, can I?

[Charon]

I can aid in writing anything not actually hacking related (haven't really been doing much anyways), such as main site sections. I also can serve as a proofreader for all sections.

Hm... I would apply, but there are two problems: 1) I'm still not entirely sure what we'll be writing (if it's gonna be stuff like the application, I'd rather just leave that to the wiki-ites, since it seems much more appropriate for that kind of thing anyway), and 2) I'm somewhat lazy. If I could get #1 clarified, #2 might solve itself, though =p

[Atrius (He/Him)]

At the moment I just want to set up some basic information on the games themselves, as well as the editor.  I'm not really looking for gigantic walls of text that describe everything in detail like you would see in a wiki, just a paragraph or two that serves as a brief overview.  I do not want theoretical, or opinionated articles right now.  Perhaps after the basics are up we can expand into in-depth articles relating to hacking the games, but for now I really just want to focus on getting some basic information on them, and editor up there.

Eh... I think I'll pass for now. I take on too many projects as it is. I might be interested in helping out later, though.

[Mastermind]

I'll help if I can, but I'm not the kind of person that can do data entry for extended periods of time. I have basic HTML knowledge, but anything that requires improvisation will be beyond me.

[Tetsuya the Azure Blade]

Umm... Ya don't need to know HTML to apply, y'know.

[Mastermind]

I know, but I figured that even if it wasn't required, it might help. Less work for the main programmers, right?

[Atrius (He/Him)]

The website uses php coding, just basic html knowledge wouldn't be quite enough.

[Mastermind]

All right, although if you talk to me in a few years I'll know php (It's on my list after C+).

[Griever]

Well guys shouldn't we try to revive this topic again? It's sad to see our HOME page so empty ... except for what Atrius post often.

I know it's not really my business but i thought since this topic was forgotten we might need to give it a small push.

BTW Atrius ... should i try my application again? or not?
 

[Charon]

I've been thinking about it, but I'm not sure what I want to do. I might want to write some entries on different characters though.

...

[Atrius (He/Him)]

Yeah... I really let the website fall through the cracks, didn't I?

The home page is meant to be a brief overview of what's going on in the community.  It shows the latest news post, and 4 newest downloads at the moment.  If you have ideas of other things to add it'd be appreciated, but all static information will be going somewhere else.


As far as applications go I wasn't particularly impressed by any in the first bunch.  Reasons include the writer completely ignoring what I asked for, spelling/grammatical errors, incorrect facts, or the writing style just wasn't what I was looking for.  I recall intending to send critiques to some applicants to steer them in the right direction, but for whatever reason never got around to it.


I believe what we ultimately decided for the site was to stick with just brief descriptions of the games & characters, and focus more on details that might be helpful with hacking the games.  Information such as animation variables for abilities, and other in depth stuff you wouldn't typically find at other Golden Sun fan sites.

That's a bit too much ..... since you wasn't impressed by the applications so i do not really think the blame falls on you.

This would be a problem .... since i don't think you got that many in the first place. And i do suggest that you try to send critiques, this would actually help since we do not want to have bad writers for the website do we?

True i do not recall any fan sites having information about the psynergy and there animations ... that would actually be really cool for our website.

Sorry if this was a bother for you ><

There's quite a few people on the forum who have conducted lists, especially Salanewt, about a year ago. Although old, it would still be useful.

[Crystal Sonata]

I would like to apply for making some item and weapon lists....Dont know how helpful that would be though....

[Crystal Sonata]

Ok i posted 12 days ago so i think a bumping post will be ok. if not just delete it. Apparently my post wasnt seen so ill post it again:

[Atrius (He/Him)]

Ah, sorry I meant to reply to it, but got busy and completely forgot.

Most of the information like that will be ripped directly from the game's data.

[Crystal Sonata]

Ahh ok. Anything i can do?
