Guide to contributing to The Chaser

(1/10) > >>

dom:
We get quite a lot of emails from people who want to contribute to The Chaser, and we dont always have time to reply to all of them. So we thought wed set up a forum so you could post your stories and headline ideas here. That way we can browse through and look at everything in one go, and you can immediately get a reaction from other forum users.


We wont - and in fact nobody should - use any of your ideas elsewhere without asking you first. But bear in mind that its possible for two different people to think of very similar ideas.


Just so you know, while we love finding new writers, writing for The Chaser is first and foremost a labour of love - at least initially. While we do pay our very regular contributors, we generally ask new writers to contribute for some time without being paid. (We all did for years, and our budget is still extremely limited.)


Please also bear in mind that senses of humour are subjective. We often disagree violently amongst ourselves about whether an idea is funny, so please dont be offended if we decide not to use an idea that you think is hilarious (and may very well be). Unfortunately, material included in The Chaser has to conform to the majority of the editors senses of humour - its the same rule we apply to ourselves.


Thanks a lot for posting, and we look forward to reading your contribution.

Good post Dom.


 


Is it possible to make this post "sticky" with your forum software?


If youre not aware.. that means that this post remains at the top


of the list, even years after its been written.

Thanks David. Although in broad terms I am very unaware, I have made that post sticky.

You guys crack me up! Imagine inviting Joe Public (or Jo Public, for that
matter) to write unsolicited Chaser stories! As if! (Translation for New
Zealanders: Ez uf!)

Always first with the great gags, arent you! Ha! Ill bet youre behind
Pauline Hanson running for a Queensland Senate seat.

Please tell me its a joke and youre behind it.

Please! For Gods sake, please!  :cry:

You say the chaser is a labour of love. But is it a full time job for you all as well?
