Sassy queen:

If I set a specific date for my article to be published will it be published that day? Even if it’s in two days?

The date you choose currently doesn't make a difference, and two days wouldn't be possible considering it needs to be edited first. :)


 Sassy queen:

Is my article submitted https://mydramalist.com/articles/edit/7513

Yep!


 Ford Carter:

Hi everyone! My name is Ford, I'm from Australia, and I've been considering writing articles for MDL for a while now. The recent article about writing articles made me realise that I really wanted to try it out.

I currently write for a Eurovision fansite for about a year and have been looking at expanding my horizons to writing about Asian dramas and movies.

I was wondering if the weekend movie review was still something that was done, and if the contact for that is still correct, as it wasn't loading a profile when I attempted to get to it through the forms at the beginning of this thread?

Thank you in advance,

Ford.

The profile is Kikimorka but posting here is okay, too.

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.

Hi! I have a quick question about your answer to my previous question. I asked about the BL/GL ban and you aswered this.

"Why is Yaoi/BL on the list and not GL? -> Nobody wanted to write about it before, the rule goes for both. Bromance/sismance and dramas adapted from BL novels/mangas/whatever are fine. Nothing we can do about these rules, sorry!"

I heard from another user on this thread that this ban is in place cause of sponsers. Is that true? I was under the impression most of the website was funded through the VIP service. 

Thank for replying!

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

Hello, I wanted to write an article on Introduction to cdrama land but my content was similar to already existing one. So I've changed to Exploring the world of Cdramas, where I'll give recs and talk about my fav Cdramas of all genre

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 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?

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  ^^"

Thank you!

Claiming a new topic for News Diary: Doom at Your Service (2021)

This drama hasn't aired yet, but I found some info on it.

Update: Changed the the title and cover to "Premiere Recap". It felt more right for this topic / news category. All I need to do now  is patiently wait for it to be published. ^^

 Sassy queen:

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

Contacted and claimed an article on Chinese Drama I Don't Want To Be Friends With You.

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!


 Sassy queen:

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...

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

Will co-write a recap article on Octogenarian and the 90s with ChineseDramaFan. Editor contacted.
