First off, I want to personally thank everyone for their donations and support. It's incredible how quickly the money was raised to get Yaoi-Haven back up and running, and it shows how truly important this site is to its members. Thank you!

Second, now that things are back up and running, I need to ask a favor. One that, the first time around, not many people showed an interest in. So here it is. The Yaoi-Haven Journal has been slow and inactive for the most part, and this has to do with my laziness to actually do something about it and also not having enough hands on deck. For this journal to flourish, Munkii and I really need a team of people behind us. It's impossible for us to write enough articles for the entire site. So this is what we are thinking we need...


-2 or 3 artist to make strip comics or one panel comics.
They can be yaoi/yuri themed, yaoi-haven themed, or just about life! It's up to the artist. Requirements: either a scanner or PSP or PS, whichever you use or need to make the comics, must be able to submit them as a .jpeg or .gif

-2 or 3 columnist.
These writers will have a column about one specific topic that they always write in. We have a Top Ten columnist. On top of hat we could use a convention columnist, and manga or anime columnist/review, etc. If you have an idea for a column you'd like to write let us know! Open to ideas.

-3 or 4 staff writers.
These people will have the freedom to write about any topic they find interesting and will also be given assignments in any of the categories.

-2 ASSISTANT EDITOR!
This is the only job that I would ask you to only apply for if you really are going to have the time, but these are also the most important jobs to fill. These people will have the opportunity to write for the journal if they'd like but their main job will be to edit articles from other writers before they go up on the journal. Munkii is extremely busy running the site and I can not edit all the articles by myself. These people need to be skilled writers. Being an editor is more than making sure there aren't any spelling errors.


WHAT WILL BEING A STAFF MEMBER BE LIKE?
It will be a great way for you to contribute to the site and maybe even have your ideas and opinions for the future of the site better heard. There will be no set deadlines and the work load is flexible. Most realistically you will be asked to submit one piece a month, but if something comes up or you are too busy you may tell us and you can get around to it when you have the chance. We want this to be fun, not stressful, and something you WANT to do, not HAVE to do! : )


So PLEASE think of applying! To apply just PM me or email me at sammiebambam@gmail.com and let me know what position you are interested in!


THANK YOU ALL!

I'm not sure about Sammii, but in my opinion a General Music Columnist isn't necessary.. Though if on the other hand it were to do with Yaoi or General Anime related music, I'd be all for it.

-Munkii

Munkii can I be a comic strip person?! please

What exactly are the editor's duties besides grammar and such? I might be interested in that position or in a writing one.

You'll probly have to talk to Sammii about that~

You should totally add dark moon goddess *-* she is amazing at writting and correcting other's writting... believe me I know >_>

Munkii is right, the columns need to be atleast a little site theme, yaoi/yuri, anime, etc.

If you'd like to be a comic artist please PM me or email me, a sample of your work (doesn't have to be a comic, can simply be any art piece) will be requested.

The editor will be working close to me, the other editor, and possibly Munkii, so you must readily be available through some means, in other words you need to be someone who checks there email and has the time to commit to the position. This person will be sent pieces from other writers which they will edit for grammar, spelling, clarity, and appropriateness to the topic. They will then send it to me or Munkii for final check. They will also be in charge of contacting other writers and keeping track of their progress on their pieces. The assistance editors are also in charge of making sure I stay on top of things. Again, these people will have the most asked of them out of anyone in the staff.

do we need to send something when applying? like a sample or work or information?

Just email or PM me and I will tell you, depending on what you are applying for, what you need to send or do.
