assume the deadline is in ~1-2 weeks. as of now i've only received a single application - i was expecting a lot more given the amount of interest in the other thread, so i'm a little surprised. ^_^; i planned on setting a deadline sometime soon to try to speed things up, itll likely be in a week or two. basically i need to know if i need to start building the feature or not - itll be expensive and big so if we dont have enough columnists that fit the bill, i will likely work on clubs or something else. ^_^

as far as needing to be anime-specific, it probably should focus at least somehow on anime/manga at least some of the weeks... otherwise i'm not sure if it would make sense to have it on AP. then again, i think gaming is perfectly acceptable to have columns for, especially if the subject is games otaku tend to like to play (a col on touhou/visual novel type stuff, a col on rpgs, etc)
