Weeb Zone is looking for writers.
I mean, weāre always looking for writers but on a team of a grand total of three who are all busy with real lifeĀ weāreĀ desperate for writers.
Weeb Zone is a blog I started to facilitate a fun, interesting conversation about ānerdā entertainment like games, anime, comics, cartoons, TV, and movies.To be blunt, itās a blog with reviews and crap but one that aims to start a discussion. Reviews are written from the angle that everyone has been watching along, our livestreams have open Hangouts calls which anyone can join, and we welcome questions and arguments to our individual Twitter and Tumblr accounts. We also have an internal policy to elevate the standards of being a nerd.
Standards of a nerd? What is this, elitist bullshit?
Nah I mean like, Iāve always found it weird that for a subculture thatās made of a lot of people that were bullied for who they were and what they liked now have this dumb elitist attitude and has this shitty entitlement culture. I find it infuriating that I have to share this culture with sexists, white apologists, sexists, and [shudders] pseudo-intellectuals that write 5000+ word essays about anime while completely missing the point of the show and I hate that often the industry cater to them and implicitly reward them for their behavior, even down to the blogs and news sites (see: Sankaku Complex). Weeb Zoneās my own way of fighting back on a small scale and I hope it makes even the smallest of a blip on the radar.
So, like, why the hell would I write for Weeb Zone?
Really I canāt tell you that but I hope itād be because you share our mission and would love to help us out! Iām not gonna lie and something like āWeeb Zone gets thousands of views and has hundreds of followersā or whatever. Donāt expect recognition, really donāt expect money. Do it because you love nerd shit and wish it was way better.
Aight, Iāll bite. Whatāre you looking for?
Weāre looking for great critics who are passionate about art and entertainment and love writing about them. Youāll have full reign over what you write and when you do. Deadlines are for when we actually make money ;P. Weāre not looking for general writers. If you can write about everything and write well then great! But whatād be even better if you have one thing you know and know well enough to write great critique.
We also donāt want just writers. We want our writers to be facilitators, people who are always open to discussion with others. Donāt just be ready, be psyched for random tweets at night, people adding you on skype, emails that are for once not sent to you from a mailing list.
Send me what you think your best piece of writing is along with why you want to join at workwithenoch at gmail dot com. Be sure to email me from the address thatās linked to your tumblr account so I can easily add you as a contributor if I like your stuff.
Ā Thank you in advance for reading all this garbage! If you have any questions about Weeb Zone, email me at workwithenoch at gmail dot com, though admittedly the best way to get at me is tweeting @yahooeny on twitter. And hey, be sure to check Weeb Zone on Tumblr! We admittedly have only been living up to our meager 3 posts/week minimum through the virtue of livestreams and a podcast because Chopper has an actual friggin job and Iām doing like 10 million things at once along with high school. You can tell weāre dying for more staff! But Iām happy with what weāve done so far and we hope youāll join us!
