Looking for staff members to join my new show, My Little Reviews

[TheLoyalBrony 24]

Hello everyone! My name is TheLoyalBrony and I am pleased to announce that I am (planning to) starting my new show called My Little Reviews tonight. In this show my staff and I go through fan content ranging from music, animation, and fan fiction and give a review of it. After which we interview a brony who has made the content mentioned above and more. Some of them are well known in our community, even other talented bronies who you may have never even heard of. This is all done live on Saturdays at 8 PM Eastern Standard Time.

 

Now to give you all a better idea on the shows layout we have myself and my friend Akkura who are the hosts and interviewers for the show. Our panelists who do the reviews consist of iSmartMan for music, ExtraExtrapie for fan fiction, and MyLittleAwesome02 for animations. Lastly we have our researchers, these are the guys who dig up the buried treasure of amazing fan content, not just from the well known bronies but those who are just getting started and have already made amazing pieces of work.

 

I would now like to say that I am looking for more people to fill in some roles that need filling. I need researchers for animation and fan fiction. I also need backups for our reviewers in case they can't make the show that night. If you feel you can offer your help to our show then please read the appropriate section for the position you are interested in. Before you answer, keep in mind that I am looking for someone who feels they can do a great job and is dedicated enough to devote some of their time to the show.

 

 

For researchers. I am not just looking for someone to pull up every single song by TheLivingTombstone, or every fan fiction written by deviceheretic, and so on. We need to give everyone a fair chance and that requires looking in those secret areas that may contain something incredible that has yet to be discovered. Along with that I am not just asking for you to link me to a video/story. I would need a short excerpt of why you feel it is worth looking at. Here is an example, 10/11/12

Title: If I go back

Artist: ElectroKaplosion and Alioopster27

Genre: Alternative/electra

Views: 117

Channel: ElectroKaplosion

Subs: 2268

Reaction: Definitely one of the better original songs I’ve found. Very well made using a synth back ground and a piano main line. It uses some horns near the beginning and continues using the electronic synths throughout the song. It includes violins during the intro and has a good light percussion line that maintains itself during the whole song. Just a little repetitive. 7.5-8 out of 10

 

This is an excellent example that was given to me by one of my current researchers for a format of submitting your results. Even this is a little extreme if you ask me but if you feel you can delve deep into the amount of content made by us bronies, find that hidden gold, and give a report about as detailed as the one above. Then I will gladly accept you into the show, please leave a response below detailing why you want to do this and why you would be good at it.

 

 

For backup panelists for music, animation, and fan fiction. The bar is set a lot higher here since the reviews must be professionally (by that I don't mean legitimate professional work that you would find in newspapers and such) and appropriately. Your opinion is something that must be put aside when reviewing content. By that I mean, if you have an opinion you have to have a reason for it and it must be within reason. Pointing out that you liked this about what you reviewed is okay and negative opinions are okay as long as they have a good reason for them. You may not like a certain genre of a song, or the lack of vectors in an animation, or even the category of a story, but there are others that will. How do you go about doing this?

 

Well a good tip is to compare previous works done by the person who's content you are reviewing, pointing out how a certain tone or section doesn't seem to fit in with the song or how something that they did to it ties it all together, finding a few grammar errors or explaining why this part of the story was great, and pointing out that the lip syncing of a PMV doesn't line up with the vocals or saying why this bit in the animation was very well made.

 

Another great thing to do is look up tips of how to review something properly, go listen to a review done by the staff of EverFree Radio, or even read one published by a professional. Lastly personal experience/knowledge of the field you are reviewing is a great resource and skill to have. My current reviewers have some of that and it has proven useful to how their reviews come out when given. As I said before this is a tough position to grab but if you are willing to show me how you can benefit the show then I will be willing to hear you out and give you a shot. Just leave a post below and I'll look at it.

 

 

I apologize for such a lengthy post but that is just who I am. If you are still reading this then you are definitely showing dedication already to possibly helping out on the show. This is something that I really hope to make successful and can only do that with your help. You feel you are dedicated enough and have the skills necessary to do just that? Then I would be honored to have you on my crew. You may also even be asking "What will I get out of this?". The answer to that would be a chance to shine in the community, meet bronies who you have always wanted to talk to, get to ask them questions during the interview live, and most importantly, make some friends and have fun! Who are we going to interview? I can't say for certain who it will be in the future but the following people are some who have already agreed to be on the show real soon and what they do.

 

Hirosashii (Music), ElectroKaplosion (Music), TNT9995 (Animation and Meme videos), M_Pallente (Music), Chaotic Harmony (Fan fiction and host of Reading Rainboom on EverFree Radio), dBPony (Music), deloreandudetommy (Remixes), DeiStar (Fan fiction), and last but not least Saberspark and PaleoSteno (Hosts of Brony Breakdown on EverFree Radio and creators of many funny and insightful brony videos on YouTube).

 

 

So I will finally say thank you for taking the time to read all of this and lastly, show me what you got!

 

P.S. If the show is to go on tonight I will need an animation reviewer ASAP because my main one I just found out is out of town this weekend so please help us out if you can!

I would love to be a researcher and I think that it is great how equal you want everybody's content to be represented. I get at least two free hours every weekday and just about the whole weekend. As an animation reviewer I just don't think I would be #1 choice, but if it gets to the last minute I would say that I am good at finding lip sync errors and I have some experience in animation.

Since i've been laid off from my job I for the most part have all the time in the world. I'm actually working a couple projects that could make use of the talent that will be one the show. This is a good idea all around i think! Although admittedly animation review isn't my kind of thing so I'm not sure how i feel to be honest.

Oh yes, let me also point out that if I feel you can help, I will PM you on this website regarding that. So be sure to check your inbox for my response. Thank you.

I would be happy to volunteer as a backup fanfiction reviewer! I've been passionate about writing ever since I learned how. I also have years of experience in editing and proofreading. I wrote a column for my college newspaper, the Student Voice of University of Wisconsin-River Falls, where I was a standout radio broadcasting student and earned a Journalism degree in 2009. I can promise you a fair and well-written review for whatever might come my way!

 

If you choose to take me, what I'm wondering about is exactly what the responsibilities are, and what kind of equipment I would need to join in a live podcast (?) should I be required to participate.

We still need positions to be filled everyone, in fact I will be in need of another back up animation reviewer because our main one found out he can't do his part anymore so now our new backup is filling in that spot and therefore we need another backup. My team and I would really appreciate it if someone could help us because we hope to get this going and would be glad to welcome you into our group if you feel you can. Thanks.

     Alright, it has been a long time since I last updated this thread but that is about to change. For anyone who reads this, I want to announce that My Little Reviews is now in need of a new Fan Fiction reviewer. Our previous reviewer TailsIsNotAlone has unfortunately had to resign due to his new work schedule conflicting with the show and he will be missed very dearly by the team and I. As a result we now need a new reviewer and are now accepting new applicants to fulfill his previous role.

 

     Since the thread itself is outdated on what we do in the show itself, I will update that now. As stated before our show is a weekly livestream in which we review the categories of fan fiction, animations, and music (though other categories find their way in on the occasion) all made by artists in the fandom. There are a total of three for each of these so that equates to 9 reviews overall each episode. After this we have an interview with a special guest who has made something of the sorts in the fandom. On top of all of this we have a discussion topic on stuff that is related to the bronies or MLP itself to get things started up and more. Here is a list of all the guests we have interviewed already since our start in mid October 2012: Hirosashii, dBPony, Chaotic Harmony, M_Pallante, RavensDagger, Odyssey Eurobeat, ElectroKaplosion, WandererD, Aftermath, DarkWing, Jastrian, MyLittleBr0ny, Cap'n Chyrssalid, Megaphoric, LittleshyFIM, Steven A.D., LadyPixelHeart, CoffeeGrunt, Gravekeeper, and Circuitfry.

 

     Now to clarify again, the show happens every Saturday from 8PM to about 10PM EST. The role of Fan Fiction reviewer requires you to find three fan fics each week that you would wish to review and must provide constructive criticism. That means you must offer something to the writer that will help them improve and not something that puts them down instead. The team and I are very flexible with what you choose to review but we ask that when you do it is not focused on one writer (unless they are being interviewed on the show that week) and that they aren't a repeated category every week. I.e. shipping of the same characters, or similar plot lines. This does not mean you can't do a story of such criteria's ever again, we just ask that it be broken up if possible each week. Also these fics MUST be kept PG to PG-13 with strict limitations as we wish to appeal to something everyone of all ages can enjoy. This means no fics with sexual content, grimdark/gore, racism, excessive cursing, etc. For more info please see the original post where I have For backup panelists for music, animation, and fan fiction listed.

 

 

     That pretty much covers most of what this role requires. So if you feel you are up to the task and would like to take part of helping my team and I with our show we would very much appreciate it. To apply please fill out an application that explains why you want to join, what qualifications you have for reviewing fan fiction, and why we should choose you. I ask that you please send in your application to me via PM here on MLPForums and you can notify me of your submission directly on this thread if you wish. Please keep in mind that we ask you have a reasonably flexible schedule so we can contact you easily in case we need you and that you will be mature when the show is live. Other than that, I sincerely thank you all for taking the time to read this and hopefully fill out an application for the role. Have a nice day everyone!
