My writing talents tend more toward drama then humor, but I'd love to take a shot at it.  If you're interested, here's one of my less pathetic attempts at humor:

The disturbing part for me was the reduction of English to an operational language for insectoids, like German.

 Sure, I'd be interested. I've done a few comedy articles here and there.

I feel a bit overshadowed by some of the more "frequent" users, but writing comedy, and for CRACKED specifically would be very much like a dream.
A dream with moderately priced ignition fluids.
That joke has been recycled.

Yeah! Sounds like a time! Would you accept a compilation of all my failed Craption entries?

Seriously, though, is there anything we should know? Do we do our own formatting? Are you looking for any specific topics or categories? Do we just PM you with our article or is there an addy?

Be cool.  Everyone who posts in this thread is getting a PM from me with instructions.

Working on the Harry Potter book cover was a lot of fun.

I'll try my hand at writing something. Count me in.

I'm afraid all my articles would be composed almost entirely of made up or misused words, nonsensical babble,  strange use of logic, illustrations, and misplaced euphemisms.
Plus there are many pwot members that could do this better that I could.

On the other hand, I've got nothing to lose.

I don't know. Tomorrow, If I can come up with something funny I'll type it up and show it to a few people. If they judge me unfit, or If I can't come up with something, then I'm probably not cut out for this type of thing.

Hey sounds like an interesting opportunity, although Ive never done any formal comedy writing I have a site of random bitching etc. if you'd like to take a look its: http://www.freewebs.com/boftin/index.htm

Also if you do decide to let me write for your page then I would prefer to paid in twinkies rather than gasoline, as thats where the money goes anyway. My mom thinks I'm fat but I like to think of myself as husky and mysterious. I also like knitting throw pillows and smoking weed with my grandpa, if that helps with your decision.
Anyway I'm off to go have unprotected sex with a midget, she may be small, but shes a friggen demon in the sack.

Cheers

 I would like to give it a go.  I have a few ideas that just might work.  If you want, I could PM you one of the main ones I was thinking of. 

Groupies do come with the job right?  I could tell the ladies that I am a published writer AND I own a Toyota Carolla, they wouldn't be able to keep their pants on.

Yep, interested. Mind you, it will take a while for me to come up with an article as I am funnily unfunny. Even then, It might not be funny, so...

I'm guessing that with the hundreds of people who will be posting in this thread, the competition will be pretty fierce but I'd love to give it a shot.

Hello David,

My name is Owen, I am a teacher from Australia and I have always wanted to be able to write for a website. I am a social observer like you and being a teacher I have a LOT of subject material. I consider myself a good writer and kinda witty.

Please let me know how I can be a part!

I'd like to try. I've always enjoyed writing and I may need something to fall back on in case they don't need any more astronauts.

I was pretty pleased with something I submitted to Mack for consideration, so I'd like to know how to hit you up if I have another idea.

My family has been increasingly on my back about writing something clever (I don't know why they think I'm the clever one in the family, but whatever) I'll give it a shot for them.

I would LOVE an opportunity to contribute!

Right now I"m posting at comedy blog http://www.saynotocrack.com (I'm "Karen"), but it's a "clean" site, meaning no swearing or sexual jokes or anything fun.  It would be so great to actually write stuff and not have to sensor myself.

I'm definitely interested. I've been reading cracked.com for a couple of months now and I dig the stuff on there. I didn't realize they were open to user submission type dealies, and I got a few things that I've wrote that seem to fit the formula they have for most of their articles.

I'm definitely interested. I have a column in my college newspaper so I like to think I at least have some experience.

Plus, who doesn't want to see another installment in the Pulitzer Prize-winning Fuck Wars saga?
