The Fan Contributor Program is an editorial training program. Fans who apply and are chosen get a chance to learn more about writing editorials, and they're given a large audience as well as feedback from professional editors. This is a voluntary program, just like editing is on a Wikia community. Ideally you'll be able to build a body of work that you can use to pursue professional writing endeavors in the future.
