I could be wrong on this, but I think they are very selective on who has the title. Those titles are mostly given to those who write extreme
constructive threads and become popular on the site or have an inner fan base that enjoy reading their threads, as in the case of slayer69.
But again I could be wrong, maybe a mod can confirm this.

There are two seperate writing forums.
One, the Short Story forum, is open to all members. If any member of ATS wants to write a story there, they can do so.
The second, Collaborative Writing, is reserved for those who have Writer status and its function is for group efforts. The reason why only those with the writer status being allowed to post there is so that a collaborative story, such as this Space opera can carry on without interruption.
It is perfectly fine to ask for the writer status, but it is only given if myself or another moderator responsible for that restricted forum feels secure that there would be no disruption to ongoing collaborations. To just jump in and post to a thread like the Space Opera without first being introduced and vetted by the participants would be disruptive.
To want writer status but not wish to participate in collaborative efforts would be a useless enterprise since you already have the Short stories forum at your disposal.
Hope that helps.

Paul McCartney once said, ‘a singer is someone who sings every day.’
I actually write for a living, and have done so for a quarter of a century. In addition, I am on ATS every day.
Look what it says under my name in the side panel. And that is the way it will stay.
I have never been able to understand the desire for formal recognition. Won’t adulation and money do?

Okay. Why not just u2u someone you'd like to collaborate with, get together with them, and present the board with the results of your collaboration?
Generally, when people are interviewed for a creative position, we ask to see their portfolios, or give them a brief and see what they come up with.
Added: Well, I see you’ve got what you wanted. You’re a writer now!
