Calling all role-playing bloggers!

By Ludwig Kietzmann

We know exactly how you feel. The waking hours you spend away from your keyboard or control pad are all just taking away from the time you could be spending meeting new polygonal people and slaying dragons. Real life is great and all, but it's distinctly lacking in adventure, intrigue and anti-aliasing. That's exactly why you escape to worlds beyond our own, worlds that can only be found after a lengthy installation process.

Your addiction to
Second Life and the Final Fantasy series is exactly what we're looking for in a couple of bloggers. If you're interesting in writing about either of those games (and can actually stop playing for more than five minutes at a time), you need to start paying attention. This is what we need from you:
 

  • 3 Blog Post Samples: We demand 3 pieces written about the game of your choice (either Second Life or Final Fantasy) and in the style of a typical Joystiq post. This, of course, means that it's engagingly written, focused, free of errors and, in some cases, oddly inspirational. Original content and a strong writing personality will count in your favor.
  • A Brief Autobiography: Tell us about yourself. You need to convince us why you're right for the job. You could mention how dependable you are, how obsessive you are about the game and why exactly it is that your criminal record looks the way it does.
  • Contact Details: We'll need to get a hold of you somehow in order to make fun of your hilariously inept application, so be sure to provide us with e-mail addresses, AIM details, telephone numbers and GPS coordinates.

If you send us an application that is incomplete in any way, we'll print out a copy specifically so that we may send it through a shredder. Then we'll delete it and laugh maniacally. (And if we're feeling particularly evil, we'll take it out of the Recycle Bin and delete it
again.)

Send your submissions to winapply (AT) gmail.com. Blog posts can be written up in your favorite text editor, just so long as it isn't a weird one we haven't heard of.

[Update: Alternate e-mail address added, as previous one unceremoniously failed.]
