I am looking for three writers to visit various locations around Second Life each week and write about them in detail, but with the ability to connect with readers. Each, self-chosen assignment must be interesting, in-depth, and convincing.
You must be able to complete each task within a business week, and be able to write at least 1000 word essays without wasting a lot of space with two- and three-letter words. I will not grill anyone if the summary is 989 words, but you get the idea.
You will be given higher administrative capabilities at slandmarks.com and your stories will be published without review, so please, professionalism is a must.
Pay is 100 L$ per completed assignment. Please send me a note card in game, with an example. I really must ask for your patience as I will wait a few days for all applicants to apply, then go through each in depth, then make a decision.
If you are bored in the meantime, you may submit a post or two at slandmarks.com and I will pick one for a one-time payment of 100L$ this coming Sunday.
Thank you for your time.

Pay is 100 L$ per completed assignment... I feel I need to clarify this; I need only one essay per agent, per week. Each agent will not receive more then 100 L$ per week. I apologize for any confusion.

Professional transcribers need not apply, as you will be doing more then simply typing words you hear.
In addition, 1000 words is really easy for smart people.

Do you think I would if I had time? Thanks for your nagging responses, and for confirming in my mind the reason I only listed 100L$ per post. That way only interested parties replied.

When I say replied, I mean actually sent me note cards and applied for the position. I do not mean wasted my time with seemingly unprovoked anger.

nah he thinks I am angry
actually I was trying to help, thinking maybe, just maybe he made a booboo and missed a zero and meant to type 1000L (whcih is still low but at least you can use it in game for shopping and such)
so you tell me you would do it if you had the time???
do you think others will do it if they have the time, for 36cents US?
If they do then all the power to them and you
Seriously I do wish you all the luck, and no I am not angry, I have nothing to be angry at..
you did not directly ask me if I would do it, I tried to point out what I thought was an error, or a gross oversight... but I guess sometimes an act of helpfulness is often mistaken for one of anger??
Good luck

What is this Abbott & Costello?
Actually I was looking for people who did this sort of thing as a hobby, and wouldn't mind getting paid for it on a permanent basis. I am also curious why an aspiring model and a shoe maker are bothering themselves.
You can either apply for the job, or you can go congratulate each other over how smart you are. Misery sure loves company! It's like fate brought you two together.
Have fun!

have no idea what you are rambling about, but I seriously was trying to help... congrats on taking the time to investigate who I am LOL oh well good luck as I said before. believe me or not, I really was trying to help by letting you know that 100L for a professionally written whatever is not... good... but others may disagree  *hey you should thank me, brought some attention to your thread* hehe besides I was bored and browsing the forums, saw your thread and thought 1 of two things.. either he doesn't understand the value of the linden, or this is a joke thread PS apply for the "job" thought it was just a hobby thing, not a job?? nahhh I will pass, if I ever decide to do some serious writing I will just make my own magazine or newspaper or whatever

From: Rhaorth Antonelli believe me or not, I really was trying to help by letting you know that 100L for a professionally written whatever is not... good... but others may disagree  You can try and pass this all off as good-natured fun, but you started your responses with entirely too much ammo in your backpack. When someone makes an offer do not try and start a riot because they're handing out ones and not twenties, even if they don't know the UNITED STATES DOLLAR VALUE of a linden. I'm sure any currency value you can name would be equally laughable to the Europeans and especially the British. And what exactly is a good rate for professionally written essays in a game platform? Even if I had written 1000L$ that is still only 4usd. Since we're speaking of "acceptable" "rl" "currency" "value" "rates", I don't think I could pay anyone here an amount that is comparable to a rl salary, especially for a new site! So again, this IS supposed to be something for fun. If it was not, you would likely have seen me trying to plug my site in every category of every forum available. I also think it is amusing that a guy can't do anything right in the eyes of others when it comes to L$ given and for what reason. Would you rather I pay someone 12L$ an hour to sit in front of a blinking prim? Gimmi a break! You were not trying to help, you were trying to hen peck me into submission. That is not how you earn the admiration of a future acquaintance. And no matter how much honey you lay down, I am well enough offended to never have anything to do with you. I am lucky to have received any interest at all. And "good luck" to you! I pray you never have a posted response & it's back draft like you have left for me. PS: I stopped counting but I believe your total response nears the 300 word mark. See how easy that is? And you didn't even have to think about it. Next time be helpful where it is needed, and if you are not capable, do not be helpful at all. Your help amounts to "more harm then good".

I was going to say a whole lot more but decided on....
Good luck and good bye, I give up, I will not be posting in this thread anymore.
If you wish to continue to attack me with petty comments so be it.
I tried, it failed.
