Daily summary writers for the daytime soaps.  We often need someone new for these as people come and go quite often.  Right now we need these volunteers below.  We could also use some backup writers for most of our other daytime summaries (people to fill in when our volunteers can't do it).  

We need new update writers for All My Children, Guiding Light, Bold & Beautiful, and Young and the Restless. These are detailed summaries. We need Monday through Friday covered, but we will take whatever you can do. 

We also need someone to write short Days of Our Lives or Passions recaps  five days a week (or however many days you can do) These are just 1-2 paragraphs of the main points, not the details.

These must all be up as soon as possible after the show airs; no later than midnight the same day.

We can use backup update writers for other daytime shows, too!   These can be done as needed only.

    This requires someone who watches the show to write daily summaries of the show, at least two or three days a week.  They will be put up at a page like this.  Some good examples of the kind of summaries we need, and instructions on how to write them, are at this page.  We like them fairly detailed.   NOTE: This list changes often because our volunteers come and go often.  WE ARE VERY PARTICULAR about the type of writing we need so please make sure to follow the instructions!  However, we are willing to work with ANYONE on improving writing skills or getting it just right to suit our needs.

Managers of each section of our site
    This requires that you have a good knowledge of TV or of a particular show we cover.  For instance, you have to be a fan of The Bold & The Beautiful to manage the B&B section.  You have to be a fan of Star Trek to manage the Star Trek section.  Or you have to have a good knowledge of most of the soaps to manage the daytime section. And so on...It would help if you know MS Frontpage or are willing to learn it.  Your duties would include finding more volunteers to make content, making content yourself, helping to publicize your section, making sure your section's pages match up, putting up ads or other changes, etc.  We especially need people to run each of our soap sections and our sections for South Park, Enterprise, and Alias.  Please see this list for shows we cover.  We have managers already for Days of Our Lives, Port Charles, Passions, and Charmed., but some of these people do not have much time and could really use some help.  We also need someone to run our sites for actors Cady McClain and  Agim Kaba.

Editors to edit the site in Microsoft Frontpage for us.
    We only will take someone who we can trust and who has a lot of experience in FrontPage.  We need people to help maintain our show pages, to put up links and and content, to fix problems when they arise, and more. We can help you learn FrontPage, so email us! Requirements: knowledge or interest in learning Frontpage, owning the software, and an aptitude in using software. Right now we mostly need people who don't mind fixing problems or maintain sections of the site, which could involve writing or finding information.

Newsletter Editor
    We have newsletters for scoops/spoilers for each of the soap operas, so the editor gathers the info from select web sites and puts it together. This must be done either Sunday night or early Monday. We have NBC soaps and AMC covered but need people to run all the others.  We have one for CBS soaps, and one each for GH and OLTL.  No special skills needed, but you have to be reliable and able to copy/paste text.

Volunteers to find new links for all/any daytime and primetime shows and check existing ones
    We have tons of links pages for many shows.  Web pages come and go very quickly so we need to get rid of any dead links and surf the net looking for new sites. It's not hard and again, we can teach you how to do this if you're not sure how.  We need LOTS of people for this! Requirements: internet connection to the web and ability to follow directions.  Knowledge of shows helps! VERY EASY JOB!!!

Proofreaders to proofread parts of the site for us and soap opera summaries
    You must be an excellent proofreader and have a great knowledge of grammar and spelling.  It helps if you know Frontpage or HTML but it's not required.  A test is required. We also need proofreaders for our primetime episode guides and some fan fiction.

Proofreaders to proofread soap opera transcripts in Frontpage
    You should be able to run the spellcheck, read through to catch mistakes, and insert horizontal lines between the scenes.  Very easy!

Writers to generally add more content to our tv show pages (either daytime or primetime) ; here is a list of our shows
    We have made a good start but we need to add a lot of content to all of our television show pages.  Any suggestions are welcome.  Some more specific ideas are below.    Requirements: knowledge of a particular daytime or primetime tv show or of shows in general.  If you have one show you really like, you can be in charge of that whole section!  Especially if you know Frontpage or HTML.

Writers of Character Descriptions;
    These are a description of what the character's personality is like.  Are they a good guy or a bad guy?  What are their habits, who are they related to, who are their friends, and some personal history.  Example here  We currently have someone writing them for OLTL, GL, GH and Passions, but all others are available.

Writers to make trivia quizzes about each show (either daytime or primetime) ;
    These are like multiple choice questions; you send in 5-10 questions, with multiple answers, and also the answer key to tell which is the right answer.  It can be about the current storyline, past storylines, the characters, the actors, anything.  Example here

Writers to write top ten lists for all/any daytime and primetime shows
    This would be writing funny top ten lists (a la David Letterman) about any given tv show.  Here are some examples for Bold and the Beautiful, As the World Turns, and Passions.  We are NOT picky about the writing or humor!!!  We will take them for ANY show that we already have a page for (either daytime or primetime) and will consider them for other shows that we don't have yet.  Requirements: knowledge of a particular primetime or daytime tv show or of shows in general.

Writers to write fan fiction for all/any daytime and primetime shows
    Here are some examples on our site of fan fiction for One Life to Live and Y&R.  We are not particular about writing style, length, subject matter (as long as it's about a tv show...racy is okay but no porn), which show, or how often you send in a segment.  The only requirement is that it be about a tv show and that it be finished at some point.  It should also be original and be written well, in story format (not all dialogue).  Requirements: knowledge of a particular primetime or daytime tv show or of shows in general, writing skills.

Writers to write opinion articles or reviews (prefer funny but not necessary) for daytime and primetime shows, as well as new DVDs.
    We need essays/observations/columns/articles about tv and/or tv shows.  They can be funny, obnoxious, or anything you like.  We are not particular.  Here is an example of some General Hospital and Days of Our Lives essays on our site.  Requirements: knowledge of a particular primetime or daytime tv show or of shows in general; writing skills. 

Writers to make puzzles for all/any daytime and primetime shows or general tv/soap ones
    We will take any kind of puzzles, word games, etc. that use TV or TV shows as the theme.  It's VERY easy to make puzzles; we will show you how if you are interested.  You can download a free computer program to do most of the work or there are some sites where they can make them for you.  All you have to do is come up with the clues and answers, which should be easy if you are knowledgeable about any TV show.   Requirements: knowledge of a particular primetime or daytime tv show or of shows in general.  Access to a PC. 

Writers to write poetry or haiku about shows
    We have some for OLTL, AMC, PC, and Passions, but it would be good to get more for ANY show. It's easy and fun!  Example here

Writers to help contribute to our Predictions and Rumors section for each show
    This requires someone who watches the show and would like to tell us what they think will happen on the show or pass on any rumors they might hear about in mailing lists/groups/forums.  Example here

Someone to find celebrity appearances
    Requirements: Just time to find appearances on the net, copy them and send them in regularly.

Fans to choose "Best Lines" or "Best Quotes"
    Requirement: watch the show every day or week and pick out the best lines of dialogue and send them to us.  For the soaps, we have daily transcripts so you can use those as references. Example here We currently need them for older daytime episodes (from transcripts) and many primetime shows.

Episode Guide Writers for primetime shows We currently need them especially for "Smallville", "Lost", ""24", "South Park",  and our new sections for "Battlestar Galactica", "Jericho", and more.  If you want to write them for other shows, we might accept those as well.  Please see our list of primetime shows.
    Requirement: Watch every episode of the show live or on tape/DVD and write summaries of what happened on the shows.  They can be either detailed or short, as long as they are descriptive enough so that you can tell one episode from another.   

Primetime Show and DVD review writer We need someone who watches new TV shows or new TV DVD's to write short reviews for our site.

Graphics Person to make slideshows using RealSlideshow or other programs.
    We would like slideshows for all of our shows. We have some right now for General Hospital, One Life to Live, and Smallville.

Promoter to advertise our site on the web, in newsgroups, etc.
    Right now we need someone to post on message boards and newsgroups for more help.  Later we will need someone to post on those places to let people know about our great site.  We currently do this ourselves.  Requirements: This does not require any special knowledge or skill; we will tell you where and what to post.

Volunteer to make pictures for our site (screen captures)
    We need some more pictures and the best way to make our own original ones is to use a screen capture device such as a Snappy or ATI TV Wonder.   We do not want someone else's pictures (unless they are your own that you took at a fan encounter or from the set of a show) or pictures scanned in from magazines because they are copyrighted.  This requires someone who already has a Snappy or other screen capture device. We especially would like someone to make daily screencaps for soap updates.

Please look to see what we have planned for the pages
