If you're reading this thread, it probably means you want to apply to be a part of Catalytic Productions comic studio. Hooray! *throws confetti* Read on to find out how to apply.
The applications process goes like this: post in this thread, or PM the Catalytic Productions account, with your application form. (Found below). We'll get back to you as soon as possible with the next step, which is a simple aptitude test for your chosen position. If you applied for more than one, we'll send you the next test after you complete the first one. You can apply for as many positions as you think you can handle.
If we take a while in getting back to you, don't bug us about it. A tactful reminder every so often is appreciated, since we've probably just lost track. (Ah, to have enough applications to lose track of x3). If we decide not to accept you, we will do our best to provide you with constructive criticism on your test and give a decent basis for the decision. You can feel free to apply for a different position instead, or to reapply for the same one at a later stage.
Now before you fill the form in, there's just a few things we expect from our members or things that you should be aware of, to make sure we're on the same page for the future. ^^
- We don't offer any kind of payment for being a part of the studio, be it gold or real money. We make comics for the sake of enjoyment and experience, not for profit (at least at this stage). If you're happy to collaborate with us on that basis, then please read on :3
We expect regular activity from our members once they join. What does that involve? Things like posting in the guild and chatting with readers, providing updates to comics in progress, as well as working on the comics themselves. We understand when real-life issues can make working on internet stuff impossible, but in that case, just let us know. Above all don't simply go AWOL and stop responding to messages, because that's very frustrating for us.
You should also be able to keep to deadlines. For the moment these are mainly for us, to make sure work gets done on a regular basis, but later we may have to produce content on a tight schedule for our readers.
Please be prepared to give studio work an equal or higher priority to any other personal projects you might have underway. If you have several other artistic commitments that would take priority over studio work, this isn't for you.
Please don't come to us hoping to find an artist who will draw your personal project for you, or a writer to develop it. We create our comics together from scratch so that we're all equally invested in them; if you want to find a collab partner for an existing project, try looking in the Comic Creators forum.
And now if you're happy with all of that, here's the application form!!
Name: (Real name, username, nickname, we're not fussy. Whatever you want to be called. Though nothing along the lines of Lord and Master or anything, because we still pwn you x3)
Position you would like to request: (Positions and their availabilities are listed in the next post. Make sure you read to find out what positions are open before you fill this in.)
About: (Tell us a bit about yourself. How long have you been writing/drawing/editing? What kinds of comics, if any, do you like to read? What makes you want to apply here? Stuff like that.)
Gallery or Example: (Whatever you need to show us to show that you can do your requested position well. For example, a DA account, a fanfiction.net account, a website you designed. If we like what we see, we will ask you to produce a more specific example, e.g. a comic script, or some character art using a description we give you).
N.B.: Please do not post actual images in the thread. Have some consideration for those with slower computers and link to them.
Contact info: (Your preferred and most reliable method(s) of contact. We will work with anything from dA note to Skype, but you must give us an email address along with these. It's proven to be the best way of contacting people in the past, and it's useful for other things like our blog and Project Manager. So list whatever methods of contact you like here, but an email address must be amongst them.)
Other: (Whatever other random stuff you feel like adding ^^)
