I'm Isaki, Isa for short

                         αвσut mчsєlf                          

I like to draw while listening to crime cases on YouTube. I love animals, philosophy and occasionally even being with people.

Other things I really like include being creative and learning new things. My biggest flaw is that I'm quite self-contious and shy at times, and I'm working to improve that still.

↬ Different types of candy

One version of this could be providing information about general types of candy, such as chocolate, ice cream, etc. An alternative to that could be talking about specific, possibly less-known candy and recommending it to the reader.

Posts could include the country of origin, when it was first discovered and by who, how much of it is being produced every year, etc.

↬ Problem-solving

Each post provides tips on a different problem like arguments, bad grades, a lack of motivation, losing a friend, etc. and how you can handle it.

↬ genres of books

Post would each cover a genre like horror or fantasy, and book-recommendations for every genre could be given as well.

↬ endangered species

Raising awareness for animals that are in danger of extinction. Posts could contain basic info about the animal, what dangers it faces and how you could help them.

To me, a good newsletter is both entertaining and informative. It should have an interesting layout and a writingstyle that catches the attention of the reader. It knows its audience and can inform about the topic in a captivating but responsible way.

I would love to share my ideas with a team full of creative people. Working together to create something fun and interesting for the community seems really awesome to me, and having a part in that would be incredible. I'm very creative and hope to get the chance to make use of that as a Journalist.

I'm already in staff and therefore know the commitment that comes with it. I post as often as I can, which has recently been at least once a day. Amino is pretty much my life at this point, and I'd love to use my time on here by helping other .

a) from the team

Receiving is really important and I'd take it seriously, however hate is a different story. I would stay polite and see why my idea was upsetting or worth the backlash. After I understood the issue, I'd either apologise or try to explain what I actually meant if it was a misunderstanding.

I'm anything but a confrontational person, so starting a heated argument with me is near impossible. If the other person is exessively rude however, I'd involve a leader or curator of the team.

b) on a takeover post

If the hate relates to my post and not me as a person, I'd try to understand where they come from and answer them politely and respectfully. My goal is always to de-escalate the situation, and if I think a reply wouldn't help, I'd delete their comment/s.

               íf α tєαmmαtє ís plαgαrísíng                

If I think someone has plagarised, I would a leader or curator of the team to confirm my suspicions by having a second opinion. The plagarised post would either need to be deleted or credit to the original sorce would have to be added.

Any post containing sensitive content needs a proper content warning. Thats why I always add one if I think its necessary, as I'd rather have a triggerwarning too much then upsetting someone with my post.

Here are a few things I try to keep in mind when making a post:

• language:

I try noy to overuse/ repeat words and have a good ballance between long and short sentences. I also make sure that what I want to say comes across. I don't copy and paste from sorces but find my own wordings to tell the information.

• style of writing:

Getting the readers attention, partially by having an in- and outro of sorts. I keep factual posts rather objective, but make sure to use interesting bits of information and not make it too long of a post. I use a similar technique when oosting art. For more entertaining posts, I try to use language and wordings to catch the readers attention and overall have a more ironic or funny way of writing.

• Formatting + aesthetics:

When trying to make a post interesting, I pay attention to paragraphs and subheads where they are needed. Another thing are pictures: I usually try to find ones fitting to a theme and colour. I also include headers and borders where I think they are useful to make the post less plain and boring to look at.

Thank you so much for

your time and consideration!

Good luck to all the participants ☆
