The Last Gaffe is auditioning! A space has opened up on our roster, and we need a fifth contributor if we’re gonna be able to keep up the steady stream of comedy our readers have become accustomed to.

What Would Be Expected Of Me?

As a contributor, you’d be expected to write at least one article of around a thousand words per month. The site focuses on commentary and analysis of popular culture, with article topics being selected on a case-by-case basis. When you get an idea, we discuss it and I give you the go-ahead, whereupon you write the article on the word processor of your choice and e-mail it to me. You aren’t responsible for formatting and pictures, but if there’s a certain way you want something laid our or an image you want included, just let me know.

Beyond that, ideas and suggestions are always appreciated. TLG is something I do because I genuinely enjoy it, and I want to make sure that everyone with work published there are having a good time as well.

What Do I Get Out Of The Deal?

Beyond the camaraderie of your fellow contributors? Well, there’s a certain amount of exposure involved – we’re doing fairly well for a site with only about three months of regular updates under its belt. TLG receives over 1000 views per week, and that number has been steadily increasing.

All in all, it’s one more place where your name would show up online next to some very high-quality writing. If getting paid for writing internet comedy is essential to you, then I wish you good luck.

Is There A Form I Have To Fill Out Or Something?

All I ask is that you display genuine enthusiasm and give me some example of your previous writing to look over. It doesn’t have to be something published professionally (though that certainly wouldn’t hurt,) just something that will give me a sense of your writing voice and whether or not you’d fit in.

If you’re interested, leave a comment to this post or e-mail me at mchristiansen (at) thelastgaffe (dot) com.
