"Hello, fine folks of YouChew. This is the Writing Staff here to ask you some questions. No, this isn't a pop quiz, and this isn't some survey you fill out either, but rather it's somewhat of an opportunity, for both you and for us. You more than likely have noticed the Writing Staff articles as least once or twice in your time here on YouChew (or, at least, we would hope you have), but to be honest, as of late our articles are getting less readership than they used to, with declining numbers seeming to be the trend. We're not saying this is because of you guys, because it's plain and simple that people aren't going to read something that they're not interested in, nobody could blame you for not checking out and commenting on an article about how cucumbers are grown.
Readership isn't exactly important to us in the same way it would be to a newspaper or an online magazine, because we volunteer for this job out of our own passion for writing and the subjects that we write about. However, our audience is still important to us. One of the best things about writing is the way that it strikes emotions in people and entertains the reader, and that's what we strive for. Plus, without you guys reading what we write, there would be no point to the Writing Staff in the first place! We as writers want to give you guys a better reading experience, and to do that, we've realized that we're going to need to know what it is that you, the readers, really want out of us.
If it wouldn't be too much trouble for you all, please take the time to post below about how we, the Writing Staff, could better your experience with us. Are there particular articles that you would like to see from us, maybe of a certain subject or genre? Do you think we make too much of a particular type of article for your liking? Is there a particular part about some of our articles that you don't like, such as the titles or the the number of pictures? We're more than open to any other kind of suggestions you, the community, might have as well.
Of course, it's not always going to be possible to make the articles that you guys like the most, but we will try our best to make more types of articles that you're looking forward to, in addition to the articles you already love.
Thank you for your time! - The Writing Staff
P.S. If you are having trouble coming up with something off of the top of your head, here are some general questions from us that we would like answered:
- What do you think of Photopoop/The Photopoop Contest? Would you like to see it more, less, or disappear altogether?
- What do you think about our ratio of humorous articles to serious ones?
- What kinds of games/movies/other media do you like, or like to read about, the most? Are we forcing too much Pokemon down your throats yet?"
