Good, we need you even more -- we recently started running Quick Fixes, shorter content that can be read in a minute or less, in basically any goddamned format you can imagine. We've done quick insights into current events and pop culture, we've done comics, video reviews and more. We'll take whatever else you can dream up, as long as it's short, and good, and smart. We want your ideas. Don't have any patience? Got a short attention span? Good. Readers will love you.

"Yeah, but do you actually publish any of the random junk you get in? Everything is done by staff writers, right, and you just occasionally grab something off the contributor pile?" No, it's the exact opposite of that. Our entire comedy empire was built on people just like you, people with no previous publishing experience who were simply funny, clever and creative. Maybe you have a blog already, maybe you just make your friends laugh around the water cooler, or maybe you're the funny guy on a message board. Maybe you're considered one of the great novelists of your era. Doesn't matter, you all start off on equal footing with us. We want you all, the door is wide open. Once you're in, we'll show you how to do everything -- we have an editorial staff who will work with you directly. You risk nothing.
