So many writing gigs posts . . . .so little to do with writing.

I couldn't have said it better myself:

RE: Looking For An Article Writer

No, you're not looking for an article writer. You're looking for free labor for some cheap-ass website (probably) that you want to fill with crap content and then try to use it to get yourself invites to parties or press passes or free meals or whatever other scam you're running. 

Here's the deal: REAL PROJECTS PAY REAL WRITERS! PERIOD. 

Here's an idea, and it goes for all the other no-pay-I-gotta-scam-don't-appreciate-skills jerks trolling CL for free content: Go jam a dictionary up your ass and fart out articles. May I suggest ramming the OED up your bunghole to poot out your prose. At least then you could call it an art piece. 

Then please go back to the moldy rock you crawled out from under, and leave us alone. 

it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
