My problem is that i would like to dedicate the majority of my time towards being a writer for FS. I've been around for years, despite the fact i don't say much, but i'm on the site everyday. Most people would look at me funny as being a writer probably because the posts i have made. But i also joined this site at a much younger age than i am now. I believe it was in 2002... Oh well. I type how i would talk. Excellent writer, but i don't think i would meet the style or the overall knowledge that most of these writers have, such as Jakuub, kick some ass you Polish bastard!

I'd try, but it's hard because i do not feel that i know enough about any particular subject, "except for general computer hardware, digital cameras and home networking solutions"
that i wouldn't be contributing a full and valid opinion to the rest of the people on this site.

On another note, I don't even know these guys really? All you on FS I've never really talked to or had experience with. I'd feel it as a waste of everyone's time here if somehow i would have won this competition and our personalities wouldn't jive.


I'd give it a shot but i'm not one to waste anyone's time, especially the people would I gather knowledge from.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! Hopefully i'll be reading articles from the tons of great people who post on this site. Kick some ass and make sure FS is what we want and need it to be! Make sure you drop me a line and email too ;) i'd like to chill with one of the people on this site, everyone seems awesome, except for the, "I'M FIRST!" people... Glad that is done.

Great idea for a contest fellas. If only I had the skills needed to become a good writer. Oh well, I may enter anyway just for the hell of it. I'd love to go back to being Pongky's flunky but my day job and schooling is killing me. I have no free time anymore. What little I do have is taken by the wife.

I can attend to your wife. You will have to find someone else for the other stuff.

Since when do any of those things take priority over FiringSquad?? My suggestion is to drop 2 of the 3 and focus on your writing carreer. Personally I'd keep the job for now just in case your writing sucks and you don't win. You can always go back to school and/or find a new wife.

Thanks, but I am entirely too intelligent to work in internet journalism.

Just kidding... you guys do a fine job, even if most do not.

To clarify - you can enter as many times as you want, but it's all about votes, so a bunch of mediocre stuff isn't as good as a one awesome article. A bunch of awesome articles on the other hand...

w00t, now I can fix the FS editor's typos, tabloid-like headlines, grammar and spelling mistakes.... and so on.

And meanwhile win 10g and get free hardware. xD Do you have to be in the States?
