The Legend of Genji Development Team is looking for 2 talented writers who can help us brainstorm plot elements, proofread and critique scripts, work on character sheets and take on writing and research tasks!
We’re excited to bring new perspectives to the team, and we’re particularly eager to receive applications from people of color and people with disabilities.
The Legend of Genji is a volunteer-based fan project that is not associated with Nickelodeon, Viacom, or the creators of Avatar: the Last Airbender or the Legend of Korra. The team does not provide monetary compensation, but we can certainly promote your work, provide exposure to a global digital audience, and help you strengthen your artistic skills. Our team is comprised of young professionals in a variety of fields, ranging from consulting to the comic book industry — there may be other ways we can help advance your career! Please see a more detailed description of responsibilities below.
*** ATTENTION: The major beats of the story are largely decided. We do welcome your thoughts and perspectives on how we might tweak the smaller details or improve character development and the order of events in later books ***

- Work collaboratively with a diverse, multicultural team via ClickUp, Trello, Google Drive, and Discord

- Maintain strict confidentiality on all team materials, sites, notes, scripts, storyboards, concept art, account information, teammate information, etc.

- Self-motivated; Able to proactively seek and sign up for writing tasks
- A positive attitude and collaborative mindset
- Commitment to at least 6 hours of activities every week

- Management and organizational skills
- Multiple languages (especially Chinese, Russian and German)
- Basic social media analytics, Google Analytics, SEO, etc.

Hi I have a few clarifying questions if that is alright for you about the Writing Additions;
For prompt 1; what kind of argument do you want us to write? Do you want us to write a quick short story about two people arguing or do you want us to just randomly write an argument between two people out of thin air?
For prompt 2; what kind of character should we write about; should we right about someone who is fiction, non-fiction, someone who we just created in our heads? And if so what should we write about them; their likes, dislikes, their life story?
I don’t mean to be rude or anything, I just want know exactly what you guys are looking for in these auditions.

Hey, so I’ve seen a lot of comments about age requirements and I know this is kind of late, but I think all that matters is the experience and amount of work you are willing to put into it. It doesn’t matter if you are too young to write because writing has no age limit. Speaking from experience. Even professional settings value experience over age. At fourteen years old, I tend to write a lot and have gotten a name around my school and friend group for being an excellent writer. If anyone here is having second doubts about applying because of their age, know that it doesn’t matter and the only thing that does is your enjoyment.
I’m not on the team or anything btw I’m just putting this out because I feel like a lot of us have doubts like these based on certain grouped factors.

Holy smokes. I’ve just found this. I didn’t know. A year ago, I wrote my own synopsis about the next avatar being a sand bender, with some plot lines and more, and my mind is blown that it already exists in the world. Had I known, I would have applied, but I see applications are closed now. I’ve got some ideas about this that might be interesting or helpful. I’d love to at least submit what I have and give input for your consideration. I think you’d like it.
