One question: Until what day will you be accepting applications?
I'm totally considering this.

No, TA isn't stepping down at all. His exceptional work really drew my attention to Fan Art, something about which I did not have a strong passion, previously. The situation is this: If we have two people, we can guarantee constant high quality articles in that section. Sometimes, as was the situation this week, a certain member of the staff will need time off for whatever reason. With two people, we have that covered. Also, it lowers the workload tremendously, making it a less stressful environment.
As for your second comment... we know. We are getting a proof reader and are adding steps to our proof reading process, to insure a higher quality. 
The deadline is: When we get someone good enough for the task. This is a standing application.
Also, we are continuously reading applications and fan submissions, so you are always welcome to apply.
I wonder how much time this might involve? I'm "running" the City of Artists club on dA, and really enjoy working with the community through that, but time is one of those things that gets away with you

I would consult with Thors_Assassin via PM and ask him how long he spends per week on the article.
Turbo_Ski... I don't spend a lot of time in the Fan Art section, but invariably when I do, I see something of yours that makes me [censored] my head in confusion. The above post was today's instant of that. 
And now I am aware of the weird wordings I had made.

Wait .. what was the question?
The City Scoop is looking for a new staff member to assist Thors_Assassin with the art section! We love TA, and we hope that he stays to work on this project for a very long time, but we realize the wisdom in having more than one person working on each position. Do you think that person is you? If so, apply! Tasks would include: <ul type="square"> [*]Seeking out quality pieces of Fan Art that are related to the City of Heroes/Villains universe. [*]Writing articles on current events related to the Fan Art Community. [*]Interviewing members of the Fan Art community. [*]Consistently providing feedback on all aspects of City Scoop.[/list]
We will, however, ask that you have the following talents and skills before applying: <ul type="square"> [*]Extensive knowledge of the Fan Art community. [*]A high level of charisma that helps to represent the best of the City Scoop and handle and learn from negative feedback. [*]The discipline to work, with a team, on a weekly schedule. [*]Exceptional English, spelling, and punctuation.[/list]
Please send all applications to either Hertz or myself. Applications should NOT be posted in this thread, as they are a matter of privacy. This thread will be quite acceptable for giving feedback on our current Art section, however, and for discussion anything related to City Scoop, life, liberty, or the pursuit of happiness.
I look forward to employing you soon!
