OS Has Writing Positions Open

[Nightz]

Could you elaborate a little on the difference between "Two Original Short Articles (400 words or less) About Football Games (not links!)" and "Three Sample Stories You'd Like to Write For Operation Sports"? Did you want full written articles for the three sample stories, or just ideas for stories that we'd like to write?

Ah, only if I could write...

Might apply for blogger.

[huntt26]

I was wondering the same thing that Nightz is about the original articles and sample stories. Do those sample stories need to be full written articles, or just topic ideas that interest us?

Also, is there a deadline for applications?

We want two original articles written by you at less than 400 words (important to be able to have brevity) -- and we want to see how creative you can be with story ideas. So just two articles and three story ideas

Deadline is when we fill the positions. Realistically speaking, it's best to get your application in this business week. We'll likely move pretty fast.

Yeah sure....we'll have to negotiate a few things though

*Idk if this helps but I believe that you have to write two real articles. Think of something about madden 10/11/12/13, or whatever game or sport your interested in. Think back to a time you were playing the game and something either frustrated or excited you. Write about the situation and the emotion that followed, then add how'd you'd fix it. *However since they are asking for two mock articles it'd be wise to do positive and negative articles. And as far as the three articles you'd like to write. *From the wording I think you just need ideas like: boring sidelines taking away from the game atmosphere!, where did all the big hits go in football games?, or the most popular one I'd like to see ( blank ) in next years game. I don't work for OS so I'm not sure but based on the wording like I said that's what I took from it. *And don't forget to be passionate!*
