Internal Writers

Internal Writers are considered active members of the Charede Gaming writing team and produce articles on a regular basis. Some of our writers are also active livestreamers/youtubers and may also produce videos to accompany the article. At present we cannot pay our Internal writers however in future we plan to address this and prioritize converting these into paid positions when financial support increases.

 External writers are considered members of the community who have demonstrated a willingness to submit content and have met the required writing standards. These individuals are not obligated to make regular submissions like our internal writers and can submit as many or as few articles as they want. These individuals volunteer their time and are not paid for their contributions.
