Why do you want to join? Because I have an adoration for both CS and writing. ^^
Do you consider yourself a good writer? Yes. I have the writing level of a grade higher than my current one, and I have worked on a school's newspaper for a year, writing about three articles a month. and I've been told that 98% of them are fantastic. ^^
Are you good at grammar and spelling? Um, yes? Take a look at my RPs if you don't believe me. I was also a member of the CS Grammar Police.
Anything you like or are particularly good at? I can be good at either fiction or non-fiction. I tend to do oneshots and "short reports" as opposed to chapter/long stories. ^^
Other (optional): Um... nope! ^^

Why do you want to join? Simply because I love to write, and an idea of sharing the biggest ideas, suggestions and thoughts of the general 'population' of CS interests me enormously.
Do you consider yourself a good writer? Yes, I do work for my school paper, and all but one of my articles have been published. I also write fiction in my spare time, and would love to start getting my teeth into non-fiction.
Are you good at grammar and spelling? Yes, definately. One of my greatest pet-hates is poor grammar, especially seen on the internet, such as poor capitalisation, incorrect use of apostrophies and lack of simple punctuation. Oh crikey, you've got me started...
Anything you like or are particularly good at? As I have previously mentioned, I do continuously write non-fiction, but I would love to be some sort of agony aunt, or 'checker'.
Other (optional): I think it's an incredible idea, and an excellent chance for aspiring writers to start to write for a purpose! If I were to be chosen to do... something, I would love to be a... kind of... 'checker', to assure all of the grammar, misuse of punctuation or simple typos in the Gasette material is corrected, before it is 'published'.

For example, I did see some... errors in the first post X3

Nice article. :3 One thing I'd like to say is that the ninja trading could have been better written.

Ninja trading is another form of scamming. It’s a situation in where one member finds out that the Punk Pony she traded for an Uncommon Butterfly Dog; turned Rare that night. Furious, she figures out an impossible situation in which she “accidentally” pressed accept even though Nick has prevented that by having another screen pop up and confirm the trade. She whines and complains until Nick reverses the trade and she skips off happily while the other member sits there with his Uncommon. I’ve seen many of these in the CS Problems thread. It’s absolutely ridiculous. You’ve messed up in a trade; get over it. You would never believe how many other member’s trades are trash but you don’t see them lying about it. If your Trade becomes unfair; learn from it. Trade for things within time periods and demands; not looks and Rarity.

That can be a bit confusing. No one knows when a pet will change rarity. Pets of the same date/rarity can be vastly different, but you'd only know that if it WAS vastly different. I'd say ninja trading is more like if a person KNOWS FOR A FACT that one side is GREATLY unfair to another, then it's ninja trading. However, if it were not known by either party, then I would say it couldn't really be considered a ninja trade. Good article, again, just could have been explained a bit more clearly.

Also you might want to change "Kaitou Kuroba" from my article to "Satamoru" (except where I say her previous name was Satamoru, change that to Kaitou Kuroba".

1. Please fill out the form
2. I don't think it would be a good idea to write about celebrities. It creates a rift in the community, it's like saying one person is better at another (whether that "betterness" by in popularity, talent, etc.). Besides, if they are a "celebrity", everyone already knows them, why would you need to write about them?

Are you good at grammar and spelling? Yes.
Anything you like or are particularly good at? Fantasy writing.I'm a pretty well rounded writer allt he way.
