Last month, we asked for applications from people who were interested in joining the DS and Wii Fanboy blog teams, and we were rewarded with great, teetering piles of posts. On that front, we've got good news, and maybe some bad news. At last, we are nearing some decisions. Unfortunately, this means that if you haven't heard from us, you're probably not going to. Sadly, we do not have time to respond to every application individually, but we can say that, on the whole, the applications we received this time around were fantastic and competition was extremely fierce. Go ahead and pat yourselves on the back if you applied, because you deserve it. And watch this space for new fanboys -- they should be appearing soon!

Attention all would-be Fanboy bloggers: update
Last month, we asked for applications from people who were interested in joining the DS and Wii Fanboy blog teams, and we were rewarded with great, teetering piles of posts. On that front, we've got good news, and maybe some bad news. At last, we are nearing some decisions. Unfortunately, this means that if you haven't heard from us, you're probably not going to.

Want to write for us? The deadline approaches!
If you saw our recent post requesting applications for new bloggers and you're planning to throw your name in the hat, get to it! We will cease taking applications Friday, March 14th at 11:59 P.M. Eastern time. Rather than rehashing everything we said before, we thought we'd take this time to offer up answers to the three most frequently asked questions:1. Can I write for only DS Fanboy or Wii Fanboy instead of writing for both?
Sorry, half-fanboys -- we need someone who can write for both sites!
2. Do you assign stories and material to your bloggers?
For the most part, no. In order to succeed, you'll need to be pretty attuned to the news of the gaming world. There's no time to wait for someone to discover the news for you. However, this also means you get a chance to write about the things that interest you.
3. Do I need to own a DS or a Wii in order to write for DS and Wii Fanboy?
It's probably a good idea! After all, how can you be a fanboy if you don't own the hardware?
For any other questions you may have, be sure to hit up the original post. It includes instructions on how to apply (and not following them is a bad idea), as well as answers to other questions you may have.
Attention all scribes: We're looking for bloggers [update]
[Update: As of Friday, March 14, we are no longer accepting applications. Hit us next time!]It's that time again, folks -- the DS and Wii Fanboy blogs are looking for new bloggers. If you can handle being beaten regularly, scrabbling for news, and oh, maybe being paid to write about video games, you just might be the kind of person we're looking for. We're specifically looking for someone who can commit to writing between 50 and 60 posts per month, spread between DS and Wii Fanboy. Not sure how much work that is? Take a peek at the average post on the blogs ... then multiply by 50. It's just that easy. For specific instructions on how to apply, check after the break -- and make sure you read everything. You will be tested.
