I just post storys I find on other sites, I may end up having to pay them $5. Besides, all of my articles would be how Summer is the greatest and sexiest actress ever, and that "Warehouse 13" should be canceled....it should be canceled.

Sounds like I'm the only one who thinks this, but I'm used to that sort of thing, I think you might just go ahead and pay for next month's bills, I mean, it never hurts to get ahead. But it sounds like everyone likes this idea, so hop to it if you like. I guess I'm just dull like that, paying bills is good.

I actually agree with you. I would sooner know that the site was financially secure for the next month than use that money and end up short.
To Haken:
Most of the comments above show folks that would be willing to write for free (myself included) so maybe it's just a case of getting article ideas out there and letting folks pick the ones they want to do.
Maybe even make a competition, of sorts, if you want to give money away. We could vote for our favourite articles each month and the first three places get a monetary prize. But keeping some money back for the bills.
Just typing this as I think it....

Well, I'm going to T3 which currently has both Summer Glau and Melinda Clark as two of the guests; I'm happy to write a report centred on them [and any other Firefly guests who might turn up]

Whozit,
Your article should contain lots of pictures and video clips, like outtakes from the Firefly pilot that couldn't be aired on TV because of the excessive nudity.
That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.

I like the idea. I'm not much of a writer, but I certainly don't think it's a bad idea to have some more original content around here. I'm not really into the fan-fic type stuff, so articles of the nature you described would be more appealing.
I like that you want some kind of editorial group reviewing them too. Gotta keep it all of a high quality.
If I had any ideas I thought worthwhile, I'd be up for contributing though, $5 reward or not.

Should the site handle the articles the same way it does with the fanfics? Basically, I'll have an area of the site where you can post articles, editorials, reviews, etc. that members can post to. And maybe some sort of voting mechanism to get it onto the news list or maybe a featured article list, etc.?

that sounds pretty good. you could have Featured Authors, the ones who get the highest ratings/comments who posted in the last month.

I have a better idea...How's about you taking over Facebook and My Space and Twitter and re-directing everybody back over here? Then those places would be free of socially transmitted disease and the internets would be a much better place!

hey...I can write articles that make fun of everywhere that isn't FFF.net
