There may be some of you out there who have a lot of ideas for an MDL article, but are unsure where to start. No worries! The first step to getting started is just writing about what you've noticed about Asian dramas: tropes, characters, music, etc... No experience necessary. All you need is a basic understanding of the English language and enthusiasm. MDL is always in need of General Articles; you can contact Rosefae72 for more information.

Writers, depending on preference, will be divided into four teams: Korean news, Japanese news, and Taiwanese/Chinese News/Thai News.
General expectations:
- ◘ News articles will pertain to actors/dramas/movies
- ◘ Brief stories are combined in a single article, unless a single story is long enough to make its own article
- ◘ Access to trusted news sites (topics are typically found by the writer; however, if need be, they can be assigned)
- ◘ English ability
