Deadline Extended: 1 More Writer Needed

Mike, one of my writers who has been with Blaqk News since the beginning, has decided to drop out due to complications of him now working on a similar blog. Because of this, I have decided to allow 1 more person fill Mike's position in being a writer. Those who already submitted your application from the previous opening will not have to do so again (unless you want to rewrite it), your application will still be considered along with the new ones.

If you would like to become a writer, please fill out the form below and send it to drewdimassa@gmail.com. Deadline to submit your form is Wednesday, December 9th, as I will be picking our new writer that day.

Applicant form:
Your age:
What country/state you reside in (optional):
Why you wish to become a writer:
Any previous experience you have with blogging:
How you could help by becoming a writer:

Recommended requirements:
  • You are at least 14 years of age
  • You have some experience with blogging, or at least general journalism skills
  • You have an aptitude to commit to this blog and a willingness to look for news
  • Most importantly, this is something you would enjoy doing

In other news...
I've been approached by an individual a couple weeks ago who wants to feature my Bright Black Heaven designs in their clothing line. Of course, I was very honored, and accepted the offer. I do not know any further details (as I haven't gotten a reply back in a while), but I am working on new designs that I will post when completed. Look forward to us possibly selling the first Bright Black Heaven merch in the future!

UPDATE:
Since the band name and logo are indeed copyrighted, I wouldn't be allowed to feature them on designs. Although I am still working with that person mentioned on clothing, it will just be unrelated to Blaqk Audio. Those designs I mentioned will still be posted when I finish them.

Is that legal?

Drew said...

I don't know actually, I'll get back to you on that :P

~*Kristin Star*~ said...

I was wondering that, as well. Just make sure that you ensure the legality of it, before jumping into anything. If it is "on the up and up", it sounds like a really cool opportunity! :-) (You should try sending your ideas to the guys, directly!)

Drew said...

Yeah don't worry, I wouldn't sell them if they weren't legal. And I would love to send my ideas to them, but have no idea how I would go about doing that. Anyone know who I can email?

~*Kristin Star*~ said...

Well, I reached Jade, once, via their MySpace...But, they are harder, and harder to track down, it seems. I'd suggest sending them a message on MySpace, with a straight-forward, but attention-catching subject line.

Drew said...

No, there has to be some email, and AFI News HQ knows how to contact them.

~*Kristin Star*~ said...

Yeah, I was wondering about that, when I saw them post about their e-mail interview. I wondered where they got the address, in the first place. Think that they'd give it to you?! (Probably, not. :-S) [Do you know if they have one for Blaqk Audio, specifically?!]

Mike said...

There is definitely an email but it doesn't go to AFI/Blaqk Audio specifically =)

Drew said...

Well Mike, I would really like to know what it is. Email me ?

~*Kristin Star*~ said...

What does that mean?!...Do you mean that it's an e-mail for them, but someone else manages it?
~*Kristin*

Drew said...

Mike told me he has the email to some chick that works for the label & can hook you up with the band. Unsurprisingly, he wouldn't give it to me.

~*Kristin Star*~ said...

Bah...We'll find out own way to contact them! ;-)

~*Kris*

Mark Johnston said...

Well one would assume that if you go through whatever label BA is getting distributed through you would be able to find a way to contact whoever represents them. It seems unfair to resent AFInewsHQ over not giving out the bands contct info when it isn't theirs to give out.

~*Kristin Star*~ said...

We'll see what we can find out, 'going through the proper channels'...I am just curious where they got that information, to begin with.

Thanks for the suggestion...We'll look into it.

~*Kristin*

Unknown said...

I am not mad about not getting the info, Mike told me they contacted the band by a friend who worked for Interscope. So it really isn't my business, and besides there are other ways to contact them, I just don't know how.

~*Kristin Star*~ said...

We'll find a way! ;-)
