    Default Fanfic Moderator Applications

    Yes, that's right. We need a new moderator for our Fanfiction forum. It's time to dust off that resume and show us why you deserve the position!

    It's all pretty simple... just post your answers to a few simple questions below. Note that we're still deciding exactly how we'll be selecting the next moderator. We might select one of the applicants immediately, or we might do something a little more interesting. Either way, it'll be good.

    Questions below. Answer them as completely as you like.

    I'll go with my best works. War of the Forums, What Dreams Are Made Of, Just Words, Question, and You Said Yes.

    Why do you want this position?
    Because I love telling people what to do! No, seriously. I like being a leader, and I like this place.

    What would be your strengths as a moderator?
    I'm hard-working, as you've seen from my work with the E-zine and the website development. I'm really active on the forums, and I'm a competent writer, as well.

    What would be your weaknesses as a moderator?
    Well, I'm really obsessive sometimes. I might be a little overbearing with the rules. I can also be prone to rash judgments from time to time.

    Do you have any additional comments?
    In my profile, I had "Fanfiction Moderator Wannabe" listed as my occupation for years. Isn't that enough to prove I'm right for the job?
    IT HAS RETURNED.
    THE TPM MAIN SITE.

    I didn't think you needed another mod. I thought that with the decline in the forums activity (not just fanfic, all over tpm) that three people could handle the job.
    Although now that i say that, you're probably tons busy with the site revival Brian, so hmm.


    LOL. Might as well apply while I'm here.

    I've never written a fic. Oh, unless you count Lapras Valley High. But it's nothing much. There were also some other on the side attempts, like Full Moon, Living in Pichu's House, etc.

    Why do you want this position?
    Few reasons.
    1) because it was so much fun modding last time, and I do actually regret quitting.
    2) I am all for a more active TPM and if by being mod, I can help contribute to that then heck yes (although I can contribute without being a mod).
    3) It would be fun.

    What would be your strengths as a moderator?
    - Past experience as a fanfic mod.
    - Been a part of the fanfic forum for seven years so more experience I guess
    - I really do want to see TPM be active again, back to the days it once was, so I guess thats passionate about activity.
    - I enjoy reading! And writing! woo!

    What would be your weaknesses as a moderator?
    - Gavin Luper.
    - Time. Around assessments especially. Also, I find that I end up going away for weekends, and sometimes for weeks, and therefore don't have the time to access the computer. But this is mainly like over the New year period, then random weekends throughout the year. That would be the only issue.

    Do you have any additional comments?
    lol. Vote #1 - Pancake.


    Actually I don't know whether its fair of me to go again. Maybe someone else should be given the chance, like, fresh blood you know? *shrugs* But I figured, why not. It would be fun.


    EDIT: Can we nominate people?

    Wait - Tara - you put me as your weakness?!! Ploise explain!

    ^_^

    I think probably in terms of modding (ie. rule enforcement, monitoring threads, replying to PMs etc.) the three of us could probably cope these days. The main reason for having four mods is for the sheer number of projects we tend to run throughout the year, some of which coincide (eg. ongoing monthly E-zines, quarterly Writing Contests, regular Writing Sprints, Golden Pens, Silver Pencils, Hall of Fame) so we could end up spreading ourselves way too thin.

    Plus, somewhere in among real life and modding, we want writing time!

    Fics (list up to 5):
    Never completed one, but I've started several, including Yu-Gi-Oh!: Above and Beyond, Yu-Gi-Oh! 3.0: Next of Kin, Pokemon: The I Syndicate, and my last hurrah, Yu-Gi-Oh!: Twilight Princess.

    Why do you want this position?
    I've wanted to be a Moderator for a long time now; since Fanfic was what intially what drew me to TPM, I figured I'd do well here.

    What would be your strengths as a moderator?
    1. I'm probably the most active person on TPM after mr_pikachu, so any problems that would arise would be dealt with swiftly.
    2. I don't jump into problems head-first - I'd consult the other Mods before making any potentially bad choices.
    3. I'm always full of new ideas.
    4. I'm lenient, and not a stickler. Unless you're causing trouble, don't expect me to be a hardass.

    What would be your weaknesses as a moderator?
    1. I'm lazy.
    2. I have a temper.

    Do you have any additional comments?
    Nothing that'll make me not sound desperate and/or self-absorbed, no.

    More of an RPG'er but i have recently started Dragonball UC and failed with an attempt doing Sins of the Blood.

    Why do you want this position?
    I enjoyed my time moddingin RPG and feel as if its a way to be productive for the forum rather than just on the forum if you get my drift. I also enjoy keeping things in order without goin all dictator and bringing fresh ideas in.

    What would be your strengths as a moderator?
    Past experience as a Mod and a great lover of reading/writing despite a lack of great talent. Im also online pretty much 24/7 since i have little social life (so sad) so even if i dont post that much im usually floating around.

    What would be your weaknesses as a moderator?
    Making my presence felt as such. I had complaints in RPG that i was never around. I was i just didnt see the point posting when i didnt have an rpg nor had any interest in the ones posted so to avoid simply spamming 'fear me underlings!' as some ex mods did i just didnt post.

    Do you have any additional comments?
    A vote for me is a vote for cake......and stuff.

    What would be your strengths as a moderator?: I have moderating experience, I've been around TPM and the forums for a long time, and I'm very approachable! I also believe I get along with the current moderating staff... I think... *PEER*
    What would be your weaknesses as a moderator?: My inability to finish my own fiction! That and some might say I'm stretched being an RPG moderator, but I really don't see that... being as how I'm always browsing the TPM boards and being bored. @_@
    Do you have any additional comments?: Just figured why not! A lot of good members are applying!

    Why can't moderators become moderators? They already know the duties of moderators so they're better equipped for the job.

    I feel it will bring me closer to Fanfic as I haven't been active lately. Plus it'll give me something to do during my free time!

    What would be your strengths as a moderator?
    I am dedicated in whatever I'm passionate about, including writing. I try to listen to everyone's side before making a decision. And I'm usually happy to help!

    What would be your weaknesses as a moderator?
    I tend to get lost in arguments. ^^;
    Also, I can get forgetful sometimes and I'm not really good at judging. Bad grammar hurts my eyes. *is as much as a Grammar Nazi as mr_pikachu*

    Fics (list up to 5)
    A Doolittle of Pokemon (1st part), Knights to Remember (2nd part), Scattered Lights (3rd part), Hemisphere (KH fic), and the discontinued Dragon's Song.

    Why do you want this position?
    I feel it will bring me closer to Fanfic as I haven't been active lately. Plus it'll give me something to do during my free time!

    What would be your strengths as a moderator?
    I am dedicated in whatever I'm passionate about, including writing. I try to listen to everyone's side before making a decision. And I'm usually happy to help!

    What would be your weaknesses as a moderator?
    I tend to get lost in arguments. ^^;
    Also, I can get forgetful sometimes and I'm not really good at judging. Bad grammar hurts my eyes. *is as much as a Grammar Nazi as mr_pikachu*

    Do you have any additional comments?
    Kupo!
    Yay I'm glad you applied. I was going to make you apply anyway

    None, but I am currently working on one And I have experience with several RPG's.

    Why do you want this position?
    Because I like to read the fanfiction posted here and I feel that I can be a valuable asset to the moderating team, if given a chance.

    What would be your strengths as a moderator? I am on quite frequently, and i am generally nice person, but if the situation calls for it I can just as well be strict (yet always fair)

    What would be your weaknesses as a moderator? I may tend to carry arguments on for too long.

    Do you have any additional comments?
    I would try and say something witty and smart to entince you to vote for me... But it's 3:42 in the morning, and my imagination banks have run dry.

    I'm sorry, PancaKe, but I've already applied. It's going to be impossible for anyone else to win at this point.

    Why? They're not moderating in this forum, and it's not really about "giving everyone a chance", it's more about who's deserving.

    Anyway I considered applying just for kicks, I HAVE posted a story here... I doubt anyone remembers.

    But... nah, too busy.

    Just to clarify, all members, whether moderators or non-moderators, may apply. If a member is currently a moderator, this will be taken into account when choosing our new Fanfic mod.

    Why do you want this position?
    Because I've been here forever and have nothing better to do. What's TPM without Mewfour? You missed me, didn't you?

    What would be your strengths as a moderator?
    Previous experience, online pretty much all the time. Plus I have BBP's backing.

    What would be your weaknesses as a moderator?
    Hardly ever posts, much less login when I'm lazy

    Do you have any additional comments?
    It's been 8 years since the original Mewfour account. That counts for something right?
    [img][/img]

    Mewfour is a Canadian writer and longtime TPM veteran.
    Over his impressive 9-year ficcing career he has won 5
    Silver Pencils and 3 Golden Pen awards, and currently holds
    the record for most times won Most Evil Fanficcer (3)

    He's also not above posting stuff about himself in the third person.

    Why do you want this position? I have a secret desire for power and respect. That and I want an excuse to hang around Fan Fic again.
    What would be your strengths as a moderator? I'm always on, maybe not at the computer, but I'm usually quick on the reply button. I think through, I can note when something in a fic doesn't make sense, and I have some experience writing so that others can understand (arguing with Fundies since 07). Most of all I give what everyone needs: Constructive Criticism (may not be nice, but not all of it is supposed to be). Oh, and sarcastic.
    What would be your weaknesses as a moderator? I'm a Graduate Student, so I have little time I spend to the boards this semester with my current work load. Hopefully that will change. And I'm sarcastic.
    Do you have any additional comments? Friends, TPMers, Fic Writers! Lend me your ears. I come here to bury the opposition, not praise them.
