[Info] NOW RECRUITING NEW REVIEWERS
CAPS LOCK IS ENTIRELY NECESSARY!!!
Yelling aside, isn't it ironic that I had a poll and a whole post this month last summer about doing something about this community, and then I let it sit and forgot about it until now? Yeah, I'm a totally responsible maintainer. :| The point is: ONMEL NEEDS NEW REVIEWERS AND I AM OFFICIALLY OPENING UP FOR APPLICATIONS. We're short a reviewer (shapby stepped down; please continue to enjoy her contributions since they'll still be available in the tags!), so I'm thinking about adding up to THREE new people.
★ Preferably interested in persons with prior experience in reviewing music works -- you don't have to be a professional (by no means am I or the other reviewers here), but it helps tremendously if you have a blog or LJ that you used to post your own reviews to.
★ Having dedication to this is a necessity! I'll be instituting a monthly quota of about 2-3 reviews per month, something I agreed on with the other two reviewers according to their needs. I understand if you can't meet that quota every month because all of us are busy; it's only to help promote activity amongst the reviewers here and keep the community from growing stagnant.
★ Another necessity is having a reliable and stable Internet connection. Since we are technically a music sharing rotation, we provide DL links to all the works we cover, which entails having to upload everything you cover to a hosting site (i.e., MediaFire/MegaUpload/etc). However, we also promote purchasing the artist's music in an effort to support that artist.
★ Also note that this is a nonprofit "hobby" sort of thing. We don't pay the reviewers for their output -- therefore, the time you put into this and your interest level is dependent on you.
If you feel you suit those requirements and are interested in submitting an application, this is the form:
Name/nickname:
LiveJournal:
Favorite artists:
Favorite genres:
Any prior reviewing experience:
