I'm curious if you guys would like a proof-reader/editor, but only for spelling mistakes, double words, some syntax, etc. I don't consider myself a great writer, nor do I have the time to devote to researching and writing articles, but I could make myself available to do a final pass over a piece before publication for these sorts of errors. I don't want to do content editing, I love the pieces produced by the SC2 team, and I don't think that I have the expertise to do that sort of editing at this point.
Of course, this implies that y'all would be trusting me not to reveal an article before publication, but I do have a few contacts in the scene who may be willing to vouch for my honesty and sincere love for the game and community.
Honestly, this is probably just a pet peeve of mine. I see these errors in publications on most sites I read regularly, and I feel that it detracts from the great writing I am seeing on display.
I really would love to volunteer my time to help advance TL in this small way, please PM me if this is something we could pursue further.

also, I must say, most applications are going to feel like they are trash compared to what ends up getting published, but that's because you've had no guidance in the technicalities and or general direction of your piece, which you'll get if you are trialed. It's worth a shot if you have the time, because you will become a better writer And if you don't become a better writer, I will make you into a better writer. With force if necessary. 
This convinced me. I'll have an application in by sunrise
+ Show Spoiler +it may not be in by sunrise

Would be awesome if TL established an official mapmaking team, then we'd have a bit more influence with Blizzard when it comes to rotating the map pool.

My articles would be rubbish without guidance from my fellow TL Strat writers
FYI writing skill isn't as important for TL strat as analytic thinking and expression.
If you could see Blade's first drafts you would never doubt yourselves again.

Esports dollars.

Seems like you need more writers, because I am pretty sure you are not supposed to have colon directly following an exclamation mark.

Yup, because these "recruitment" posts are equally hilarious every time. TL.net is offering you the chance to provide, for free, content off of which the site can make money.
By my count this "offer" has been made three times, and applications are always accepted indefinitely, which says a lot. Nobody is smart enough to be a competent writer but at the same time dumb enough to fall for this.
Just because they have the gall to make these requests with a straight face doesn't mean users shouldn't call them out on it.
