If you’ve ever read any of the www.cracked.com articles, you probably know
they are well researched articles often written about serious topics, written
in a list type format with a humorous take on them. In order to submit pitches to write articles
for Cracked, you must apply for and be granted the “Purveyor of Dick Jokes”
title. I am now a “Purveyor of Dick Jokes”.
While this is exciting news, being
granted the title is only the first step, allowing you into the writers forums
where you can then pitch ideas for consideration. However, the style and format for the
articles that they are famous for is very different than my normal style of
writing (which is to write whatever and however I want and if someone doesn’t
like it, tough shit for them). So now I’m
tasked with the finding a topic on a serious subject that I can write about which
fits into their model.
A couple topics I’m thinking of
at the moment are 1) Top (insert number here) internet scams and how they
turned out. 2) Top (insert number here) male
enhancement drugs and how each is tested and proven effective. I’d love some ideas and inspiration. If you’d like to know more about Cracked and

Honey clearly your area of expertise as a paralegal photographer mom is in the fields of, oh, i don't know, legal, photography, and motherhood, and possibly platypus venom extracting...
ReplyDeleteI like the platypus venom extracting, but sounds like we need a vampiric extractor. Happen to know any I could use as a source?
