| Still wish I could join. Barely have any time to sleep doe so no. Grats on your recent achievement! |

| I had already sent an application, but wasn't accepted. |

Nashetania said: Shoichi said: I had already sent an application, but wasn't accepted. When did you send your application? I'm not quite sure, but it was around a month or two ago. I believe I wrote a description of Overlord. |
|
| I would've applied, but since they enforce "American" English I guess there's no point for me. Shame. Grats on the milestone though. |
 It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |
Nashetania said: ItsMaz said: I would've applied, but since they enforce "American" English I guess there's no point for me. MAL is an American site, alack. Is American spelling that difficult for you? English is an English language. It is, actually. After writing and typing for the last 18 or so years, it's merely second nature to spell things as we spell them. A lot of the differences aren't as obviously noticeable - the omission of U after O in words such as favour I'm aware of, but they aren't all as plain as that. Due to that, I wouldn't even realise I was making the 'mistake' a lot of the time. |

| I have a feeling this question was asked but I just want more clarification. If you get "hired" do you get to chose between being an Editor/Writer? Or do you get assigned to one? |
 |
| Thanks, @Nashetania. Sakamoto- said: I have a feeling this question was asked but I just want more clarification. If you get "hired" do you get to chose between being an Editor/Writer? Or do you get assigned to one? Hi @Sakamoto-! You get "hired" as a writer or an editor depending on your application. If you applied to be a writer and if you get selected, you become a writer. If you applied for editor, and we liked your editing, you become an editor. If we liked your writing, but not your edits, you will be offered a writer position. You will not be "assigned" arbitrarily. And if you sign on as an editor, you'll not be expected to contribute to writing synopses (though you could if you wanted to). You're asked to show strong writing skills as a part of the editing application because every editor needs to show that they can a) create good content, b) make mediocre content better with their writing, and c) recognize good content when they see it. |

| 3 days since I applied , yet no reply >.> *sigh* 😥😩 |

Nashetania said: ItsMaz said: I would've applied, but since they enforce "American" English I guess there's no point for me. MAL is an American site, alack. Is American spelling that difficult for you? Could I solely be rejected because I wrote mine in British English? I'm pretty sure I didn't write anything different from the two languages anyway... Though, I'm not too sure. |
Rojo said: Could I solely be rejected because I wrote mine in British English? I'm pretty sure I didn't write anything different from the two languages anyway... Though, I'm not too sure. Well you guys do spell Organization as Organisation and Catalog as Catalogue or something, so its possible. I actually like British English more and the differences are slight, I think you'll be fine or I'd sue for discrimination.  |
|
| The intention of this group is beautiful and I'd love to assist in any way applicable. |
| Yo! I just wanted to let you know that I just applied and filled out both Google Doc forms. I hope I get accepted, but, understand if I don't. I love this group's vision and want to participate in it :) Cheers! |
| Thank the Heaven's of Japan's fortune gods. Seriously, THANK YOU. Sometimes, I hate some of those synopsis and other times, they don't explain much to me. So thanks for putting the time to fix that. |
| I don't want to pressure you guys or anything as you may still need more time to discuss and confer with each other about the applications, but it's been 5 days and I'm wondering exactly when can we expect the results to be out? |

Anything as good as that. |
It took them like 3 months to get back to me bro. It can get busy though so that's why we're looking for more people ^_^ Here's to hoping you get in though ~ |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |

| @Sakamoto- Already got Phoenix Wright on the phone. @Nashetania @ziggyopolous Awesome! Thank you for clearing that up for me. |
| I'm actually lost on the editor's application. Is it okay if we change that "summary" into a less spoiler-y synopsis, or do we have to keep it as a summary? |
 |
hopeless408 said: I'm actually lost on the editor's application. Is it okay if we change that "summary" into a less spoiler-y synopsis, or do we have to keep it as a summary? We're okay with either approach. As long as all the grammar, spelling, punctuation, tense, and other errors are weeded out, we don't mind. |

AnimeAndChill said: Someone change the 2nd season of haikyuu's synopsis, spoiled the whole damn first season lmao. That one's not an MAL Rewrite synopsis. Besides you can't make an informative synopsis of a sequel without spoiling the prequel. |
 |
| A sequel/prequel synopsis has to be inherently vague. They are some of the more difficult synopses to write because of all the additional artificial constraints placed on writers. |

xaos12 said: It has been more than a week, so can we(some of the early participants) just get a reply now? Maybe we are disqualified but just a word for that will be enough, don't need a detailed pm. I hate this waiting game, only to be kept in dark. -_- Chill and forget about it for a bit, it's not like you can't do other things whilst waiting for this. Everyone's doing this voluntarily, so please keep in mind the club admins sorting through the applications also have jobs and schools and lives to attend to. You'll definitely get a PM even if you are disqualified so don't worry about being left hanging forever. |
| Congrats to MAL Rewrite for achieving the milestone! I need to get off my lazy butt and start writing again. ._. |

| I have a quick question about editing. So, a writer just goes onto whatever anime or manga page they feel like going onto and writes a new synopsis? How exactly do editors know which synopses are in need of editing? |

| Do you have to be active on MAL? I'm not particularly fond of posting a lot of stuffs. But, I really like to read or create some quality contents, especially reviews. |

But wouldn't it be so much more interesting if writers just wrote on MAL and editors would have to go one massive easter egg hunts to find synopses to edit. I motion to make this the new system! |

A-bey said: Do you have to be active on MAL? I'm not particularly fond of posting a lot of stuffs. But, I really like to read or create some quality contents, especially reviews. Not necessarily. We do not expect you to have watched a lot of anime previously or have 10,000 posts. We only look at your mastery of the English language and the concepts of synopsis writing. Once you join Rewrite, we do expect you to be reasonably active--complete within 1 week whatever you claim, can't be idle more than 2 weeks, stuff like that. If you need to take a break, you could easily talk to one of us and we'd understand, like @Nashetania said. |

| i can't believe how perfect this is for me. are people still accepting applications?!? |
 |
Nashetania said: Yes, they are. You can still send in your application whenever you want: in a day, in a week, or even in a month. The goal of this club is to rewrite the whole Anime, Manga, and Characters DB, which will surely take awhile. ok then! and not to seem as a hustler, but is getting paid somewhere in the midst of this? |

| So, one more question: I already submitted my writing, how long will it usually take to approve a submission? |
A-bey said: So, one more question: I already submitted my writing, how long will it usually take to approve a submission? Hey A-bey, It'll take a short while. You can expect a response soon! |
