Basically, what we're doing is asking a bunch of questions relevant to the department. For example, if you want to become a reviewer, we're asking you about which consoles you play, how often you play, what types of RPGs you enjoy playing, that sort of thing.
We don't want a bunch of slackers, so we'd like some sort of assurances that you'll do some regular work for us (RPGFan's had problems in the past with editors doing jack shit for work - it's part of the reason we tend to have a large staff, and also why we tend to have decent turnover). It depends on the work you're doing - if it's reviews, we'd like to see a few a month (fewer reviews if you're doing newer games, since you have to play through 'em - if they're retro-reviews, the expectation is you've played them already and won't take as long to do one). News updates, we'd like a few updates a week - go out and seek out some sort of game news, and post an update (there's plenty out there, and if you like PC games and PC news, that's a definate bonus). We'll train you on how to use our updater script, it's actually pretty streamlined now.
For news and reviews, we ask for a few samples of your work, so we can get a feel for your writing style and if it's something that will work. Pictures is more general, but I think that the plan is to have the more qualified applicants meet up with one of the pics editors and do a little work with them.
Basically, it's straightforward. You've got a few weeks to turn in applications, so if you need some time to put something together, go ahead.</div>
