Here at Working Stiffs, we recognize that a Web site like this is only as good as the people who contribute to it. We encourage all fanfic authors to pitch articles to us, and we look forward to hearing what everyone has to share. E-mail us your idea for an article of at least 500 words. Don't be afraid to just say, "Look, this is how I write. It may not work for everyone, but it works for me." If you'd like to explore a topic that other authors have already written on, go ahead! The whole point of Working Stiffs is to show how different writers approach the same peaks and pitfalls in writing. Write about something you feel you do well, or that excites you as a writer. We guarantee your enthusiasm and insight will shine through. Remember, you're the expert.
