Nintendo Wii Fanboy

If you're thinking about trying to finagle a spot on the Nintendo Fanboy blogging squad, you better get going on your application -- today is the deadline! Turn your attention to our recent posts if you're not sure how to proceed, and get those samples together. After midnight Pacific time, we'll stop considering new applications.

If you saw our recent post requesting applications for new bloggers and you're planning to throw your name in the hat, get to it! We will cease taking applications Friday, March 14th at 11:59 P.M. Eastern time. Rather than rehashing everything we said before, we thought we'd take this time to offer up answers to the three most frequently asked questions:

1. Can I write for only DS Fanboy or Wii Fanboy instead of writing for both?

Sorry, half-fanboys -- we need someone who can write for both sites!

2. Do you assign stories and material to your bloggers?

For the most part, no. In order to succeed, you'll need to be pretty attuned to the news of the gaming world. There's no time to wait for someone to discover the news for you. However, this also means you get a chance to write about the things that interest you.

3. Do I need to own a DS or a Wii in order to write for DS and Wii Fanboy?

It's probably a good idea! After all, how can you be a fanboy if you don't own the hardware?

For any other questions you may have, be sure to hit up the original post. It includes instructions on how to apply (and not following them is a bad idea), as well as answers to other questions you may have.

[Update: As of Friday, March 14, we are no longer accepting applications. Hit us next time!]

It's that time again, folks -- the DS and Wii Fanboy blogs are looking for new bloggers. If you can handle being beaten regularly, scrabbling for news, and oh, maybe being paid to write about video games, you just might be the kind of person we're looking for. We're specifically looking for someone who can commit to writing between 50 and 60 posts per month, spread between DS and Wii Fanboy. Not sure how much work that is? Take a peek at the average post on the blogs ... then multiply by 50. It's just that easy. For specific instructions on how to apply, check after the break -- and make sure you read everything. You will be tested.
