What Do You Want To See?

Hey Smashers, The Derrit here. Ever thought about writing for games? Love Smash? Have a great idea for Smash that nobody is talking about? Well today's your day - the Smashboards Writing Staff is looking for motivated contributors and staff members to cover all sides of Smash Brothers culture and community. We've expanded our scope to create more opportunities to get involved, whether it be community fare or competitive coverage.We want to expand our ability to cover every bit of Smash-related news, but this means we're going to need your help. If you are interested in creating articles about any of the topics below, please send me a direct message on Smashboards. If you have any preliminary questions, feel free to contact me on Twitter at @TheDerrit We hope to enlist two types of new writers. The first type is for weekly/regular columnists. For example, FGC guy Maximillian is going to create a Assist Me! series on Smash . Having writers committed to creating an article on that, and other regular projects, when they happen would help us get more content out to our readers and keep the front page entertaining for all of our guests. We would also love to find a few beat writers who can catch news as it happens! Sometimes important things happen when they're least expected, so we're eager to find multiple writers who will jump on emerging news as it happens.Even if you're not interested in writing consistently, don't hesitate to reach out! Single contributions are welcomed.Fame! Wealth! Recognition!Well, not exactly. The Smashboards Writing Staff is made up of unpaid volunteers - everyone, including myself, is working for free. That said, there are some significant perks to working with Smashboards that may catch your eye. On Smashboards, writers who have proven themselves dedicated contributors will receive a unique user banner denoting your contributions to the site. There are currently only four users who have earned this banner - will you be the fifth?Writing with Smashboards also builds bankable experience in the gaming sector that you can turn into some amazing opportunities. For me personally, my experience at Smashboards has opened some amazing doors. It's enabled me to build relationships with high-profile Smash players and community leaders, write features for Red Bull eSports and Gamesided, and even speak with some higher-ups in the gaming industry. If you love writing and want to work in the gaming industry, this is a great place to start.The Daily Pictures may be gone, but Smashboards is committed to beingplace to go for Smash. I always say it, but make your voice heard! Let us know in the comments what you want to see on the front page, and we will work on making it a reality.Happy Smashing!- The Derrit
