Got some funny satirical type stuff? Awesome, I’d love to see it. Some questions you may have:

What type of stuff are you looking for?

Generally anything that would qualify as satirical news – obviously articles, op-ed pieces and the like, but if you have fake news video or audio, things of that nature, they may be a great fit, too.

Where will they be posted?/How will this thing work?

The answer is, I don’t know and I don’t know. Seriously. This is a new feature for the site, and as such, I’m not sure how it’s going to work. I may have a featured contributor story every day, every week. I may have a part of the site that is reader-contributed content. I may have regular writers who contribute all the time and work more closely with me. I just don’t know yet. I promise I’ll know more soon.

Who retains the right to the work I submit?

This is a tricky one. I’d like to say you do, but I’d be lying if I said I knew for sure how this works. Obviously you’re giving me the right to publish your work on my site. But in terms of you republishing it elsewhere, I have absolutely no problem with you doing that. It’s your work.

Who decides if a piece gets published/featured, etc…?

Me. And yes, that means that you and your work are at the whim of something as frighteningly subjective as my taste. Sorry, that’s just the way it’s going to have to be.

How much will I get paid?

Um, you will get paid in vast amounts of gratitude (from me) and street cred (from the street).

Okay, sounds great. How do I submit?

You send an email with your potential post to theprotrusion at yahoo dot com. Now, keep in mind, it’s likely I won’t be able to respond to every submission personally, depending on how many submissions I get. Sorry about that. I know it’s annoying.
