hey i don't have PMs but who should I be sending articles to for editing? I've got two cued up, "I have no chill and I must scream" and "how to argue insincerely online."

A better question is: Whom did you send it to last time, so I can send mine there? I've sent two to LD since she said I could write a weekly; the first of which she said she forwarded to Lowtax (that was almost a month ago), and I've heard nothing since.

Another good question to ask is if that month of radio silence counts towards the two months unpaid trial period, the one that makes sure you aren't going to disappear or be inconsistent with your delivery.

SA isn't even in the top three least reputable sites i've written for. Vice Sports permanently closed before paying me for all my work. i've been bruising my nose cartilidge on this site breathing heavy about writing for the front page For A While. i'm not about to gently caress off (till some joy-hating mod of Ask/Tell decides to try banning me again but w/e not gonna sweat it)

Me, too, I just like to write things that will hopefully give people some comic relief from the craziness of everything in the world.

I work through personal traumas and tragedies publically, pointing out the odd humorous parts that crop up. Sometimes I'm able to see the humor in real-time and laugh, but most stuff I just notice while revisiting the whole process.

Like in my "World's Dumbest Stalker" thread, it's like 1/10th me posting hilarious misdeeds by the guy and cracking jokes, and 9/10ths goons dunking on him and noticing weird nuances and patterns I didn't.

Then, hopefully, people who are going through similar trauma can read it, and start noticing the things in their tragedy that give them a few second of laughter relief.

Or I write about my kids, the twinado is real.

Seconded strongly, this place is not even close to worst. I've been ripped off more than enough times to know a deadbeat client from a real one, and SA is a real client. There are delays sometimes but that's true in this kind of work even when there's not a global emergency going on.

You got to expose the wife beater on the front page of his website. You did good.

I get what you're trying to do, Phiz, but that wasn't the beest try at it. Could have used a bit longer in the oven. Makes us look like idiots.

I think that's kinda the point. It was less a comedy article and more a "Hey yeah we've been dumb about this" and worth pointing out we still tend to reference the "furry concentration camp" era as comedic genius, rather than something that was only funny because we were dumb kids, and in hindsight really isn't something we should be proud of.
Though I can see where it doesn't have a consistent tone, I still think it was a decent article.

I think it's sincere, as far as a front pager goes, but it needs to also ref things like some poor fuckers getting Goon Justiced and how completely hosed that was.

Oh yeah you could probably do a whole series of articles on poo poo like the segakiller that in hindsight is really loving dumb we were cheering on, but I think the furry concentration camp was one of the few things were even at the time everyone (except the furries) seemed to think was hilarious. Whereas folks were actually reporting the the whole "This guy is stealing my cable, I'm gonna burn his house down!" bullshit

The part of the article about how furries are inherently good at activism or ousting nazis is very strange considering how many pedophile and nazi furries there are...Just my two cents on teh whole thing. :cheerdoge:
