Editors Alliance Application

Hi! My name is Keith and I'm an eighteen year old dog dad from Texas! I've been in this community for 3 years and I'm very excited about applying for the Editors Alliance! To be very brief about who I am, I'll just describe myself in a simple sentence. I'm hardworking and I'm a writer. I've been writing for many years and I'm a hard-working teen, I like to get stuff done as soon as possible while putting in the effort.

3 Of My Feature Worthy Posts:

What Is Trichotillomania?

In this post I go over trichotillomania, which is a mental disorder that causes you to pull out your hair. I talk about my personal experience dealing with trich while also talking about how common it is.

My Top Surgery Experience

This is basically a post about my top surgery experience and I end up showing my results from surgery.

Changing Your Name/Gender Marker in Texas

Since I live in Texas and I already have changed my name/gender on my documents, I decided to help my fellow Texans out.

My Creative Challenge Idea

I would love to have a challenge that consists of making up your own Monster High character! Regardless of if you draw the character or just talk about the monster, I think it would be a nice challenge.

For the challenge, you would have to come up with your monsters background, what they look like, their name, age, etc.

What makes a post feature worthy?

I believe any posts that consist of a strong topic, doesn't go against the guidelines, and is something that people would be interested in are most likely feature worthy. I once wrote about gender dysphoria and why I personally believe you need it to be trans w/ scientific sources and I would love to see more posts like mine.

Why do you want to be a part of the editors team?

I would love to be a part of the team because I enjoy writing and I would like to show off my creativity! I write all the time so getting to do it on amino as an everyday thing would be nice!

You catch one of your fellow editors plagiarizing, what do you do?

I would simply dm the editor and kindly ask them to stop while also reporting the editor to someone in charge. I would try to obtain screenshots proving that they were commiting the act of plagiarizing.

What will you do if an argument gets heated in the comment section of your post?

I will respond to all of the people within the argument to stop in a nice manner but if they continue I'd have to get a leader involved. You can have a discussion without it turning into an argument.

One of the posts you've made is being called offensive. What do you do to rectify the situation?

I would simply ask how it is offensive and I'd try to solve the issue. I would also explain that any of my posts are not made to be offensive towards other people. I try to be respectful in my posts.

Someone is trolling the comment section of one of your posts. What do you do?

I'd obtain screenshots and a link to the member so I could report the trolling to someone who is a curator/leader.

Someone gives you notes on what to improve on your post, you don't agree. What do you do?

Taking their and looking over it, I would tell the member that I greatly appreciate their but I'm not too sure that I agree with their opinions. I would take their into consideration though when going over my post.

Good luck to everyone applying! Thanks for reading my application.
