SITE NEWS: Interested In Becoming A BRB Writer?
At various times throughout BRB's long and dignified brief and embarrassing history, we've added new writers to the masthead. Sometimes this has been a case of me simply bringing on people whose writing I've enjoyed reading elsewhere (e.g., this guy, or this guy, or this guy); sometimes it's been me asking for potential new contributors to submit "applications" (e.g., here and here). As there have been a couple of readers who have expressed interest in becoming contributors, coupled with a few of our current writers getting busy in their non-blogging lives, we're opening up the "application process" again. Details are after the jump.
If you're interested in writing for BRB, please draft a post on anything Texans-related and e-mail it to me (my address can be found by clicking on my name at the top of this post). The post can be centered on your opinion about how the 2011 NFL Draft went for the Texans. It can be an analysis of Rick Smith's track record in free agency. It can be a breakdown of how you think Wade Phillips will fill the 3-4 with the roster as currently constructed. It can be an ode to Matt Schaub's receding hairline. Really, it can be anything, as long as it's original and relates to your Houston Texans.
Before you start writing what I'm sure will be the most insightful thing I've ever read about some aspect of the Texans, a few requirements of the gig should be discussed:
1. I can't promise you any money for writing here. There may be some advertising campaign revenue associated with the gig in the future, and I'd be glad to talk about that in greater detail via e-mail if you like. But understand that for the immediate future, BRB is purely pro bono. Any remuneration would likely come via a free official BRB t-shirt me picking up your drinks at the next BRB gathering.
2. Keep the profanity to a minimum. I understand that there will be times when it's necessary, but I want to continue to do our best to keep this site off the workplace-ban list.
3. Although there's no hard and fast rule for the number of posts you'd have to author each week, I would like to see the newest member of our dysfunctional family commit to putting up at least two, and preferably three, pieces per week. If you submit an entry, please do so with the knowledge that you'd be on the proverbial hook for two-plus posts each week.
4. Punctuation, spelling, grammar, and all those sorts of things matter. While we have the capability of editing posts, it's no fun to have to rewrite or excessively correct things that are capable of being caught before a post is published. I humbly beseech you to proofread your entry.
I hope several of you are interested, and I eagerly await all submissions. Ideally, we'd like to have someone up and writing here in a couple of weeks, so let's say that all entries should be in by May 13th. I look forward to reading anything and everything anyone submits. Happy blogging.

Invite BBS to write for BRB, he is so loved at Stampede Blue for his thoughtful writing
And then he can ban everyone!!! Yay!!!
Great Idea!!

It seems like Battle Red Blog has a bunch of writers anyway though.
This site puts out a lot of articles which is great.
Looks like they removed at least a couple of people
from the bottom of the screen though.

Maybe all the interested parties could write up a story in the next 24 hours and submit them by email to Tim and Tim could post them anonymously. Then readers vote on them using their own criteria and that way Tim can get some direct feedback.

Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
Never use a long word where a short one will do.
If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
Never use the passive where you can use the active.
Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.
