Koby Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I'm going to revamp Forgotten Memories into more or less simply an all-out Gaming News source.Information-based fansites in this day and age are way too much work with pretty much no benefit which has led me to become lazy when it comes to updates and thus the site is pretty much dead. The only thing active about it is the occasional news post. So I figured, hey, why not just put the center focus on the site to that? It could be more lively if we broaden out to include news on other games as well besides just Square Enix games and similar RPG series that for the most part has died out.So what I'm looking for is people who would keep up with gaming news and be able to re-write news posts coherently into their own words with proper grammar and sentence structure or at least to a similar level that I do.I'll be revamping the new layout I had been planning on using and coding it to work on Wordpress so anyone familiar with Wordpress should immediately get the hang of working on the site. I'd like to include at least an index page for a couple of my favorite games along with user reviews and screencaps, and wallpapers eventually when I get to it.td;lr Looking for gaming news writers and game reviewers.

Kasoivc Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 So, in a sense, basically if I were to sign up for a job like this - I'd pretty much eat/spit back out what I'd read/been told/reviewed in my own words? o_O It sounds enticing because it'd get me to do something for Kametsu but I'd be afraid that I can't post updates frequently. Then again if I'm tracking like specific companies/titles I don't think it would be as hard.i know right grammar is my bitch i butcher it on a daily basis =pLmao. I've gone through all of my high school english classes as well as a college english course. They hammered perfect grammer into us but I still prefer to butcher it because it's fun not because I don't know any better q.q. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libitinarius Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I would totally do this for you, but recently I have only been purchasing old Naruto games. For my words to have meaning, however, I would probably need to actually play some of these games, right? Rewording news is easy enough, as I could probably swing a few updates daily apart from finals week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again if I'm tracking like specific companies/titles I don't think it would be as hard.Yeah, and not everyone has to be completely active if I can get a decent team of say 5 members, hopefully at least one person would be able to get the news out of about something the others happened to miss.As for the reviews for the most part I'd prefer to focus on series I plan to have a little coverage on at some point. Later on we can start doing more reviews about games we don't actually have coverage on. A news writer doesn't have to be a reviewer. If needed a reviewer can just be a reviewer and could submit the reviews to one of the staff on the forum. I'd like to focus on reviews for the Final Fantasy main series numbered games at first. Yeah they might be old but at heart Forgotten Memories originated as a Final Fantasy site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asch Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Well, I can help in it, with the news and whats going on that is, and gaming hardware articles and like that.Can't promise of anything more, but certainly not less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
†Ferocia Coutura Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I would definitely be able to do it. I agree with Kas, though. I follow specific companies/titles religiously, (Square Enix, Atlus, etc.) so I guess it would work if it were a team of five and we focused on different things...Anywho, if you need someone, I am available.

†Irish Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Hmmm... This sounds Interesting... I already do Gaming reviews and stuff like and no one reads them on my blog(which is a wordpress site) If I wasn't already GFX I would totally Jump all over this. Great idea though.

Wolfwood Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Well honestly I would be up for this task. I am in training to become a sportswriter/journalist in college and I think this would help my cause by writing stuff for a website. I would love to put up articles about gaming up for you. I read IGN on a daily basis, so it wouldn't be a stretch to just write some information and apply it to the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuLake Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 I'd love to contribute, but my schedule is pretty packed this coming semester, so I can't commit to more than a few posts a week (though I could do more as my schedule allowed). I understand if you want people who can be more reliable, but if you want those few extra posts I'm game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koby Posted August 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Well like I figured everyone under the trial was short lived. It's been a whole six days without a single news post.Looks like I'll have to look for people still.Anyone up for the job that isn't going to drop the job after one or two days?

A dead team, is still a dead team, no matter what their quality may have been when they were alive. I was looking for a quality team that was and will be active.
