Guest Blogging Offer
Now that we're all "hungover" from the sugar rush of Halloween last night, I'm going to offer the guest posting for my readers if you're interested.
I think that the guest posts went rather well the last time we tried it, and I still have people willing to write on this site from time to time.
I would like to find some people who would like one or more shots at posting on my site, as well as a couple of people who will guest post for me on a regular weekly basis, and cross posting for them would be acceptable.
Your credentials must include the following:
1. Be humorous - not only know what scatological humour means, but be able to use it - although scatological humour isn't necessary.
2. Accept that I may make any changes and corrections I desire to your article being that it is my site and I am the evil ruler/dictator; however, I will consult you if the changes are what I consider significant. As you could probably tell, I'm pretty lax, so there won't likely be many, if any, issues to fret over.
3. You want to write a pro-PETA article??? HA! I don't think so. Look elsewhere to punish readers.
4. Accept that the timing, ordering and logical position of the posting is going to be random to all others except me (and even then, I wonder).
5. Accept that an editorial review process of posted facts does not exist. If you make up a fact, at least be convincing or have previous work experience at the New York Times.
6. Accept the same creative commons license as I give to my fellow patrons and give all appropriate credits when due. I don’t want to hire a blood sucking lawyer to re-write the frick’en licensing. No insult meant to any lawyers reading this site. Besides, you all know you are blood suckers.
7. Be able to accept that although I may not pick your article to be posted, I still care about you deeply.
And, of course, you must be able to accept that you will not be getting paid for this because I am a greedy underpants collector (refer to link for more info on underpants blog profits). I do link and support the bloggers who post articles and allow them to cross post, so hopefully that can make it up as a reward for writing on this site.
If you are interested in blogging on my site, please let me know by email or post a comment here stating that yes, you are in fact interested in either an occasional or a permanent position. Read the FAQ for the email address if you can't guess it.

Crossposting would be reward enough to occasionally share my bewitchment with cheese-cutting,corn-flecked,pantleg-escaping chunks of nightsoil.

I'd love to write for ya Sam but I have a hard enough time posting on my own blog...
I do offer up the post I put up today if you'd like to post it up here on your site. It's right up your alley, whatever that means.
I know it's not what you're looking for exactly but...
ok, I'm a link whore...
I'll email you the text if interested...
I'm shameless!

Step 1. Guest blog for Samantha Burns
Step 2. ????
Step 3. Underpa...I mean, profit!
I would definitely be interested; it would give me a chance to try my hand at writing something (intentionally) funny for a change.

I'm in the same boat as Peakah. My heart wants to say, "Pick me, Pick me!" But I would wind up never submitting anything. I could go for that once a decade gig, maybe. I might have something funny to say at some point in the next 9 years.
Nah, probably not.

Well, Fitch you are welcome to write once a decade for me if you'd like to, just send it to my email if you ever decide to.
Posted by: Sam | November 2, 2005 01:23 AM
Yeah, I'll give it a go.

What about eschatological humor? Is that close enough? And do I have to spell "humour" with a "u"?
Posted by: AlanDP | November 2, 2005 01:49 PM
Thanks, Sam. That'd be great. Now i just need to write something submission worthy
Someday...
