"You should give them more time to submit applications. I don't think we'll get more than 10 applications anyway..." -Cherrie

"Try 70+." -Stilts

I knew you guys were crazy, but I didn't realize how crazy! Yes, it's finally happening - a new contributor will be introducing themselves shortly. Sorry it took so long, but we got nearly double the applications we did last time, and it took a while to go through them all. We did it though, and came to our decision. The new writer has already been contacted, and has agreed to our ridiculous demands. "Make a contract with us and become a blogger!" ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼

If you weren't contacted, please don't feel slighted. This was a really tough decision, and there were so many great candidates that I asked Divine to let me fire a few writers so we could bring in upgrades, but he told me I'd be the first one to go, so I scrapped that plan. (I'm just kidding...mostly.) We were also thinking of bringing on two writers, but then Divine made his triumphant return. Have you noticed that Divine is blogging again? We may also still reach out to another shortlisted applicant next season. We'll see what the future holds.

More after the jump.
