Help? Anyone?

[Ecto Jedi]

I debated on posting this in the Everything Else section, but since a lot of my writings revolve around video games and most of my likeminded brethren lurk around these threads, I figured this would be a nice place to start. As a lot of you already know, http://www.xanga.com/retro_playback/ is the home of my tiny little blog, where I (used to) review and talk about all sorts of 80s and 90s pop culture topics, ranging from games and movies to toys and music.



Sadly, due to a plethora of factors, I find regularly posting at Retro Playback (simple and easy as it may sound) a hard task. As it stands, the blog's been silent for about three months now, which is the longest period of inactivity in the site's history.

What I'm looking for are some writers who might be interested in become regular posters/bloggers for Retro-Playback -- or, if that's not your bag, just an occasional post here and there would suffice. (Or even a one-off guest post, if your stuff's up to snuff.) What I'm trying to do is get a steady stream of content out of the blog for the sake of posterity and the dedicated readers and subscribers who used to love the content I provided. I can't promise fame, or fortune, or a heckuva lot of readers, but back when I was regularly putting out reviews we collected a fair number of regular lurkers, were featured numerous times on the main Xanga page and even got the attention of a few head honchos on the Xanga team. Not too bad, I'd say.

So if you think you'd be interested in reviewing some 80s/early 90s videogames (NES, SNES, Genesis, and some more obscure systems would be welcome), movies, comic books, toys, and anything else that might fit in with the rest of Retro Playback content, then feel free to shoot me a PM. I figure we'd work out a nice, little system where you could either e-mail or PM me any reviews you've got and I'd post them up pronto, taking game screenshots and whatnot if necessary (unless you can provide them.) Of course, you'd get individual credit on any post you'd make.

Here's hoping some of you are interested in the proposition. I know I'm a lazy bastard and wouldn't really take the time to invest much energy in someone else's tiny blog, so here's hoping some of you are kind, gentle souls. (Or as hungry for exposure as I am.) Again, I can't promise you fame, but at the very least I can chuck Xanga's feeble little free offer and drop the coin for a full-fledged credit card-zapping membership, which would be free of adds and a heckuva lot nicer to work with.

Here's hoping some of you are nostalgia nuts like I am and that this thread doesn't die a slow and agonizing death from inattention. I'm looking forward to hearing from you guys and posting up a lot of great content.
