If you are looking to join the staff of Manga Heaven, please post a new topic with the name of the position you are applying for. Please be sure not to use leetspeak (l33tsp43k) or any "internet" spellings such as "ur" for "your" when writing.
Your post should contain as much information about your past experiences or ability to handle the position as you can provide. That way, when we speak with you in IRC, we have a good background on you.
*** All applicants will be given a test before becoming a staff member***
Positions we are currently looking for (as of 10/01): Editors
Positions that can be applied for:
Translator: Obviously, the one who translates the manga. Translators should have a working knowledge of either Japanese or Chinese (Japanese preferred)(Chinese if you know how to translate Chinese names) and good English writing skills. You will be given a few pages to translate as a test. All translating applicants should assume they will be given their own project to translate.
Contacts for translators: Souldrake (Japanese), S4D (Chinese)
Proofreaders: Proofreaders read the translation in text format. They look for any spelling or grammatical errors and fix them. Proofreaders will be given a small test before being accepted.
Contacts for Proofreaders: Any staff member
Editors: Editing encompasses the processes of altering images, using either Photoshop or GIMP. For example, editors redraw Japanese texts as well as some of the sound effects on the art. Then they take translation and put it into the scans to help make the scanlation look close to a real English work.
Contacts for Editors: s4d, HaMb0, NekoX, Souldrake
Jump Scanners: Jump scanners buy weekly magazines like SJ and scan out the necessary manga
Contacts for Jump Scanners: Any staff member
