Job posting: Official Fan

We seek an Official Fan for our show as well as any spin-offs that may be put under contract. The Official Fan will have a variety of duties.

First and foremost, the Official Fan will help the show's team ensure continuity and consistency throughout the seasons and into any other media that may be licensed (e.g. graphic novels, movies, spin-offs). This will require extreme attention to detail and impeccable record keeping. The Official Fan will be responsible for monitoring the fandom wikipedia. It's important that all details available to fans are accurate. Should any inconsistency pass the Official Fan as well as the rest of the team, the Official Fan will join the writers in coming up with a plausible explanation within the show's universe.

The Official Fan will need to keep track of all characters and actors, regardless of how small the part. Occasionally, the Official Fan will be called upon by the casting director. For example, some characters will be discussed by others before they appear on screen and the Official Fan will need to assist the casting director in finding someone consistent with all previous descriptions.

Research will also be a large part of this role. The Official Fan will be expected to monitor fan forums, including fan fiction sites such as AO3, to see what the fans are asking for. We strive to be a show that gives its fans what they want and so we need to monitor what fans are expecting and what plot points they would like to change. The Official Fan should not be engaging in these conversations as that could sway fans' opinions. However, the Official Fan should be writing monthly reports on fan trends.

Social media will also be a large portion of the Official Fan's duties. The Official Fan should be adept at Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and Tumblr and should help direct the content that is posted. The Official Fan should also stay up to date on various trends and memes so that the show's social media can play into those that would work well with the show's tone and fan base.

The Official Fan may also have opportunities to attend conventions with the cast and crew of the show. This would be a great opportunity for the Official Fan to meet with fans as well as to help create forums for the cast and crew that fans would get the most out of.

At times, the Official Fan may also work with the marketing and merchandise departments to design products that fan would like. This ties back in with the research and social media duties of the Official Fan.

We are ideally looking for a team of five or so fans who will need to work together.

Qualities desired:

  • Social media proficiency
  • Online research proficiency
  • Adobe photoshop and meme generation
  • Ability to communicate orally and by text
  • Ability to work independently as well as part of a team
  • Experience in creating content related to at least one current fandom
  • Knowledge of fandom trends and activities (including conventions)
Please send in a resume, a cover letter, contact information for two references, and an original fan fiction about our show.

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
