. . . .that's what I said to Rae (SingingOnDemand) like half an hour ago, when I had this idea!! Work, school, etc - it often gets makes time managing difficult. And with my sometimes-evil internet and work I've been falling behind. My subs list only holds 100 at a time and once they've been bumped off, it's hard to keep track of what I've seen and what I've missed.
On top of that; BTW = Back Track Weekend. Well, depending on when I get off of work tomorrow, it might have a different meaning for a little while. BTW = Back Track! (Whenever Aya's Days Off Are). Now that this month is over, I don't have weekends off anymore. My usual days are Wed & Thur, but that might change. I have vacation days I have to use up, so I might be off three days a week; I just don't know which yet.
I was thinking that over when the idea hit! What if there were other people helping me to write entires?! I love this blog to pieces, it's my baby. And I hate when I only average two entries a day. So I have decided to strongly consider doing 'guest entries' - where other project leaders, members, or really any dubber (who can write without bias) would review a dub, much in the same way I do.
You could either suggest a dub for reivew, or I am going to keep a constant list (made from my subs) of recent releases that they can take from. Then you'd listen and write down your thoughts and one of the following; A) if I am too busy, it would be solely your entry; I would (of course) look it over, discuss anything if need be, maybe edit, and put it up.
B) I will would get together with you (MSN perhaps?) and we'd both go over our notes and make it sort of a back-and-forth review, that I'll type up and make into an entry. C) Two people, other than me, could get together and review, making it a joint entry, back-and-forth, only not with me (lol).
Blabodu would still remain my blog, with me doing my own entries and my rambling. But (hopefully) more entries would get posted, and it'd be more interesting; with views from other people (like mixer-smart people *Aya is not one of these*). I'd try as hard as possible to avoid drama, but I don't think there'd be much of it. Most of the projects and dubbers I listen to are mature enough to take the good with the bad when it comes to views.
Anyways, I just wanted y'all's thoughts on this. Please let me know if you like this idea and/or if you're interested in being a guest. Also, Rae suggested I make a YT for Blabodu, and I told her. . . .I actually have one, lol. I just haven't done much with it yet. So I might try to work on that sometime soon~

I actualy think this is a good idea. I'm sure there are lots of guys who would love to do this (me included xD).
ReplyDeleteAnother reason why I think this is a good idea: I'm one of those people who checks your blog like... 10 times a day xD
Making a list would be a good idea on my opinion, since you already told that YT gives you only a review of 100 releases.
For the A,B,C question I would suggest all.
If you really would be busy with your real life, this A would be the best solution. The basis you have to look over it is already made and you just need to correct the things about grammar and vocabulary. Maybe discuss some things your completely not his/her opinion. I guess this would be less work.
B is also a good choice in my opinion because I think discussing such texts 'live'... it would bring an interesting mix of you and this guest writer.
For C, I wouldn't like it if you'd start with it because like you said it's your blog. I think even if you would take A the most time for your blog entrys, there's still something you did. If only a few times, C would be also interesting because you can see whether the entrys are good even without you. And your visitors would see that too (At least I do). But I wouldn't take it for the most of the entrys. You could use that when you got a little pretaste of the guest's writing skills. But I wouldn't do it from the beginning.
(Phew... now I wrote much more than I wanted to xD)
Like I already said I would love to become one of your guest writers since I have lots of time and I always loved to write texts. The only problem would be that I'm just almost 15 and of course not perfect in english. Also, I have no clue how a critique of mine would look.
Anyways, I hope you don't think this opinion of mine was a waste of time.

I would totally write for you, Aya ♥
