Can U Please Pick Me? My Life Is Scratch!   

id love to be a curator!

i personally like games such as platform games and other games with programming/concepts i find unique. i also like animations that i find well animated and entertaining.

i would like to feature projects that i think that more people should see.

Examples:

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/JoshuaWarner68/1982578
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/PwnedPerson/2963448

if i become a curator, i'll be sure to look for some good projects to feature.

I would like to be a curator. I usually play games on scratch, but from time to time I like watching short animations. I like games with a good structure that look good, Simple games that are easy to learn and competitive, or have a high re-playability value. Animations I watch are either short and funny or longer and filled with action.

Hello, I'd like to be a Scratch Curator because I really think that Scratchers on the website have great potential; boys, girls, African-American, White, every single Scratcher. I'd like to curate projects that I believe are special in their own way. Now, I'm not picking good from bad, because I believe all projects are equal. But like I said, I would curate non-well known projects and give them a chance in the spotlight, and show off their true potential and creativity.

I would like to be a curator because I would like to give Scratchers the chance to show off their talent. I would show Not just games, but animations, artwork, and many other topics of programming. I would curate things at least two to three times a week, to give a diversity of projects to the Scratch community. I would not favorite my own projects to get publicity, because that would be dishonorable. If I were chosen as curator, I would be very grateful.

Hello! I have applied several times before, but I feel that this will be my best so far.

A quality that would make someone a good curator is being able to put yourself in someone else's shoes. This quality is good because you can imagine; "If I was talking to a curator, is this how I would talk?" Another reason this quality is good is you can imagine how much time and effort the creator put into that project.  I feel I have this quality.

Another good quality is honesty. A good curator dosen't tell someone they'll curate something and then they don't. I'm not exactly sure I've mastered this skill. It's pretty hard.

My curating plan is to curate two projects a day, 5-7 days a week. That way, most projects will be on the front page for several hours to two days. I could post a forum thing with slots for each project I'll curate. First come first serve.

One problem with me being curator is my Dad dosen't have internet. DO NOT ASK. That would be a problem because I wouldn't be able to get on Scratch for a few days every other week.  I guess this could be solved if it was timed right and I only took a one week term, but I don't want to put anyone in the trouble of timing it just right. I'm sure it'll be fine.

If I became curator I would curate mostly Art Projects (not coloring contests. Unless they're really good, I guess.) and unknown animations. Maybe a few platformers or games, but that would probably be it.

I thank you for considering me! I would be greatly honored if I was chosen.
I am Mintfang, and I approve this message!

When will the guidelines be out (aka can't curate flagged/inappropriate projects, already popular projects, your own projects, etc.)?

Interested in applying to be a Scratch curator?

We choose curators that represent the diversity of the Scratch Community - girls, boys, gamers, storytellers, animators - Scratchers of all kinds! We especially like to choose Scratchers who have been helpful and contributing members of the Scratch community.

When applying to be curator, it's good to give some thought to the kind of projects you'd like to show. "Cool projects that most people have never seen!" is a nice idea, but it doesn't really give us a good sense of what you like and why. We want to know what makes a project interesting to you.

Try viewing the projects in your favorites, and see if you can find a theme that describes them. Talk about that theme in your post on this thread, and consider providing a few links to good examples of that theme.

For example, I really like projects that use sound input from the microphone to draw interesting designs on the screen. Here's an example of one that I recently added to my favorites: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/MitFan/874786

Hello!! I have always wanted to be a curator and I would love to be one!! I have a good taste in graphical designs and funny projects that should be recognized! I love Lezspio's progects and more like that.I also would like to recognize people who make amazing games as well! Also i will not only feature projects by my friends cause that's just unfair!!
