For the sake of keeping things rolling steadily, we're looking for another front page writer. We'd like you to commit to writing, over the course of time, 7 updates so it's worth the effort of training you. It's even helpful if you think you can write four updates a year.
The job requires:
1) A genuine interest in speedruns not just of games and on platforms that you grew up with, but whatever it is people have sent in. That or being a good faker I guess
2) A relatively solid command over the English language.
3) Some affinity with creative writing.
4) An understanding of what SDA does, having been around a bit, perhaps having gotten a run of your own accepted...
The first point is really critical: you'll probably want to look up some information about each game/run/runner, so both you and the Front Page itself will really benefit from you having your heart in it. We want the updates to have both information and entertainment so you get to be you! YOU GET TO BE YOU! (<-- I literally have no recollection of writing that but it's true nonetheless)
The second point is also inevitable, although I'll be able to help you with your grammar and such, if you're actually interested in improving over the course of time.
It's a job that synergizes well with verifications or Pre-Release Checks because having seen the run helps you in writing about it anyway. Please leave your applications (why would you make a good updater) to me as a PM, and any general questions below this post.
