The following is a list of official, confirmed back up writers. Main writers are advised not to use anyone not on this list of writers. If your name is not on this list and you are a back up writer, please remind me in PM and I will add you.

BACK UP WRITERS: Ventura, Venom, Cloud Matsuda, Cailin Dillon, Lioncross, Carlos, Mexican Samurai. 

I'm here to list the names of backup writers. In this thread they are not put in order by reliability because it really won't matter going forward, any backup writer who is late with their match will receive a strike, and after three strikes these back up writers will no longer be allowed to back up write a show.

I will find out which back up writer is late if a writer cannot turn in the full show on the day of the show and they are given a strike. Ideally, a main writer will be upfront with me about what's missing from a back up writer and the back up will be the one to be penalized.

I will not ask or hound writers for shows on time, it is their responsibility to give me the shows on the day of the show. If I do not hear from them after the 24 hour grace period, that's when the main writer gets a strike. 

To clarify, again, it is a main writers responsibility to let me know if a back up holding up the show, otherwise they will be held accountable. The disappearing act some writers like to play when a show is late will not fly, it will immediately be counted against them.

If a main writer continues to use a backup writer after 3 strikes, and they hold back the show in any way, the main writer will be given the strike. Writers are, for some reason, continuing to use notoriously late back ups and that will come to an end for the betterment of the fed.

ADDED STIPULATION + IMPORTANT NOTE: A back up writer who is late with their matches will not only be given a strike, but they'll also get a strike for every day that they're late as well. So if a backup has a match due on Friday, but don't hand it in until Sunday night, they'll have 2 strikes. This means if you are a back up writer and you are late, you still have an obligation to get your match in as soon as possible. You cannot disappear for days, or take more than 3 days to turn it in, and continue to back up write, because it takes away from the show and the people who worked hard to promo for their match and worked hard to get their match in on time.

*Insert bitchy statement and trade request*

Good shit, DEDEDE.

List of backups updated

Because I will be writing Dynasty alone, can I get an update on this backup writer thread? I would like to know who will be willing to help out with backup writing for me...

I've been doing odd jobs here and there for Empire recently, so feel free to throw a match my way once in a while.

I am available if needed.

I just wanted to make it known that I am absolutely NOT available for this. Please never ask me to write anything, ever. I'd rather Voltage stay posted on Wednesdays than help out and get it posted Tuesday nights. Thank you.

Happy to help if need be.

Please, please, there's plenty of me to go around!

I'll gladly help out when needed.

Senn and Imp know my situation with this. Showdown and Empire seem to always get done on time, but IF I'm available, I can help from time to time. Just if possible, please ask me as a last resort if no one else can do it. I'm a very slow typer (and easily distracted) and I'm at most average when it comes to writing matches.

I know I am super new here so it might take a while to build the whole trust thing up....

But I will gladly help! Just let me know whenever you need anything.
