UPDATE: DEADLINE PASSED
Hello, writer-types!
Do you have what it takes to write for a visual novel? Are you ready to find out exactly what you need to do to apply? Good. We're tired of waiting.
We're shaking things up a bit, so rather than looking for replacements for each writer per se, we're seeking out a more general approach. Writers with a decent grasp on several characters and their interactions are top on our list. Naturally, everyone has their preferences, and has different levels of skill writing different characters; don't feel like you shouldn't apply just because your Rarity's not adequately eloquent or your Applejack just don't feel down-to-earth, just tell us where you think your strengths lie.
Here's what you'll need:
-Your name (or handle)
-Age
-Skype contact name
-A sample of your best work attached to the email in a standard word or Google document. It can be anywhere from two pages all the way to ten, but please don't give us too much more than that. We're going to have a lot of reading to do. If it's a part of a longer story, you may give us the link to the rest on FiMFiction or another external site.
-Anything else you'd like to say
We'll be having two writing rounds, followed by voice interviews via skype. The first round, you may submit any story you've already written, or an original piece set in what you imagine the Starswirl universe to be like. Then, we'll go over your work and if it's what we're looking for, we'll give you an idea of what we'd like to see written for the next round.
Send your applications to
apply@zap-apple.com with the subject "Writer Application"
by the end of the day Friday, April 5th.
(Feel free to ask us if you have any questions.)
