Calling all bloggers, part two: deadlines and more

First and foremost, we wanted to offer a friendly piece of advice to all would-be bloggers and columnists: not bothering to follow the directions laid out in the original post? Probably not the best way to get started. Just to reiterate -- please do not send attachments unless, for some reason, you cannot get things to work otherwise ... and if that happens to be the case, e-mail first and ask if it's alright to use a different format than that which we requested.

But enough lecturing! Let's talk about deadlines. We would like to announce that we will stop taking applications as of 11:59 p.m. (Pacific time), Friday, August 24th. Anything received after the cutoff will be deleted unread. However, if you are seeking a space as a columnist on DS homebrew, we will continue to accept pitches until the following Friday, August 31st. This only applies to DS homebrew -- any other subject, your pitch needs to be in by the 24th.

As a reminder, all bloggers will be applying to write for both Wii Fanboy and DS Fanboy, not just one or the other. If you have questions, please follow the guidelines laid out in the original hiring post, and we'll get to them as soon as possible.
