Question: Can I write for I-Mockery?
Answer: We used to be more open about accepting submissions, but generally nowadays, we stick with the people that we already have on staff (ie: Dr. Boogie, Protoclown, Max Burbank, etc). While none of them are full-time staffers, though Dr. Boogie is close considering how much he helps out around here, when they do send in new material it's always a classic read. I also just don't have the time to read the HILARIOUS articles that every 12-year-old decides to send in to me. Still, you're welcome to submit material if you want. Just don't expect myself or the others to find the time to read it for about a year or so.

That notice has been up on the site for years for this exact reason. I get a TON of emails and it's simply impossible for me to get to all of them, let alone read people's submissions. I used to be able to respond to every single person that emailed me, but that was a long time ago. But in case there's any confusion: we've got a great compact team here on I-Mockery and I want to keep it that way... not looking for new writers. I'm glad if I helped this guy start his own site in some way; I'd rather see more people doing their own thing instead of having to cater to our style (which is apparently to "vain" for this guy). I've actually been to Scary-Crayon before (probably because Pjalne mentioned it to me or I received some other email from them) and honestly thought it was set up better than the average e/n site that people send me links to that they set up on their geocities homepage or what have you. It's too bad he comes off sounding like a pissed off kid who wishes somebody knew his site existed in that post.
The simple fact, however, is that I-Mockery is one of the oldest humor sites on the web, and since we have an established following, there's going to be plenty of criticism to go along with it (just like all the other e/n sites get). All we're here to do is make people laugh, and if they don't like what we're doing or how we're presenting it, there's a ton of other sites out there to explore. We're having fun here and don't plan on changing anything other than adding more 'n more new features to the site. I think we're extremely lucky to be where we are... and it's pretty spiffy that so many people have stuck with us over the years.
Actually, all of this has been a lie. I only work with pretty people. Sure, it's shallow, but I'll be damned if guys like Max, Boogie and Protoclown aren't sexy as hell.
