If you haven't heard about this web-based newspaper-of-sorts, don't worry, neither had I until recently. Basically it's made up of a bunch of columnists, local to the chapter they're writing for (there's a chapter for each major city, pretty much), each person writing about their own particular specialty or interest.


I was just hired as the Anime Examiner for the Pittsburgh chapter. I'll be reviewing anime of all kind, researching new stuff coming out, doing little informative blurbs, and talking about other anime-related things like merchandise, news about the people involved with anime, spin-off games or live-action adaptations, etc. There's no end to the stuff I'll be writing about.



The thing is this: I get paid per view (the example they gave is ten bucks per thousand page views), so once I get my first article up, I'm going to post the link to the page here. Even if you're not interested in anime, it'd be a huge help if everyone could just check it out as often as you can, maybe even get your friends to do the same. I'd really appreciate it ^_^

As I said before, congrats on the job I looked at the first article you sent me, and I'm eager to see more, especially since I was at that con :D

Just wrote an interesting review. Anyone who's as fascinated and amazed at the advancement of our automobile technology as I am might find it interesting.

Hey! I'm $0.26 from getting my first check from Examiner. So I need about thirty more views. I'd really appreciate it if a few of you would just click around my column to push up the views. Read or don't, doesn't matter much to me. Thanks for the help!


Edit: Dunno if anyone here checked it out, but in a couple of hours, I managed to jump up a good sixty or so views, so I've made my $20 mark ^_^ Thanks to anyone here who helped me out. Here's hoping I reach my next 20 a little quicker :p


....



Well, shucks. I either remembered wrong, or they changed their policy, but it seems it's $25 instead of $20 that I have to reach before they'll send the first check. Ah well.. $4.21 to go, then ~_~

XD I had to catch myself up on your reviews; hadn't been to the site in awhile. Had to go from Ponyo onward. I do think I'm going to look into watching Emma at some point since I also enjoy Victorian romance and I liked what you said about it, both in the review and the nights we talked on messenger.

Emma's more than worth it!


Also, if you just subscribe to the column, you'll get an email whenever I make a new article, so you won't have to keep checking back or wait for me to get on your butt to read it :p



I'll be doing a couple more pretty soon. The wave of views I got yesterday is somewhat inexplicable, but I'm hoping I can keep that kind of momentum *-*

XD but going back every so often to find a few columns to read at once is more fun!

And yes, more reviews plz! hehe
