[MDL Writers] Article Ideas & Discussion

A newbie here, would like to write an article on "Top 10 most unforgettable kdramas "

 Thoughts of Tani:

How to write an article?

Click here or go to this forum first page that has all the guideline and queries related to your question. 

But usually you have to write an article using Google Doc, and when you will finish writing,  share the link here, and the people incharge of editing and reviewing will follow up according.

I heard from another user on this thread that this ban is in place cause of sponsers. Is that true?

It's true. devitto said this. See this post: https://mydramalist.com/discussions/community-tasks/29624-mdl-writers-article-ideas-discussion?pid=1669781&page=78#p1669781

Hi, I would like to try and write an article on editorials with the topic 'Dubbing in Chinese dramas". Do you think I can claim it ?

Hi,

Notice that there is no drama recap or articles written on cdrama Bloody Romance  https://mydramalist.com/27510-bloody-romance   Would like to put a claim on this (but I think I would be quite slow in writing it....).

I saw in the guidelines that sexual and gore topics cannot be written on.  If I do not elaborate on this, but use words like "cannibalism", "sadistic", "S&M", "erotica".... is it allowed?  Images in article would not include such scenes.

And does MDL article writing page allow link to music?  Is it possible to upload a mp4 song to play at the article?  If not, is it possible to embed youtube links in the article?  This drama OST is quite awesome, all 3 Leads sang 1 song each for the drama  ^^"

Which category is under weekend movie reviews?

Can anyone provide any examples under this topic with a link?

I guess it counts as editorial... and you can find one example here.

Thank you!

You can mention the words but you need to keep the article itself family-friendly. :)

You can't have music in the article itself, but you can indeed embed Youtube videos and link to other video sites.

Also - yes, you can claim this!

Is there any limitations while writing weekend movie review

How many movies we can add?

There are no limitations apart from your personal limit of how many movies you can watch in one weekend...

Hi there. I would like to write an article called " My 10 K dramas I watch while in 2020 shelter in place ." This was when i started my journey in watching K, C J dramas. In one year I've watched over 300 dramas. Is that bad?

I'd say it's impressive. :'D - You can write about it!
