I’m not sure what it says about my performance thus far that Dorn is having me do a callout for new TFM writers when I only just started on Monday, but it can’t be good. For me, that is. This could be a great opportunity for you — if, of course, you have what it takes.

I’m just gonna get straight to the point: We are looking for the funniest writers from around the country to join Total Frat Move’s remote writing team. Do you have ambition? Do people care about what you have to say? Do you have the capacity to make people laugh with your written word? Well, then you’re already more qualified than I am, and you need to get in on this. You’ll make some cold, hard cash in the process, too.

Being a member of the remote writing team consists of contributing columns and news pieces to the site on a semi-regular basis. If we still like your stuff after a short trial period, you’ll start making that moolah. Casholini. Dinero.

You’ve got to be good, though. And I mean real good. You have no idea how many columns we get each week that are just awful. Because of this, we open your applications assuming you are a terrible writer. Sorry ‘bout it. Prove us wrong. We only publish the best of the best on this site. And also my shit.

You’re gonna have to work to earn our trust. If you aren’t funny, have a shitty grasp of the English language, don’t understand the voice of the site, or are a fan of plagiarism, don’t waste our precious time. I have a lot of Golden Tee to play during the workday, and I don’t wanna waste time reading your shitty column when I make the turn.

Why this is such a great opportunity for you:

1. The Grandex network attracts millions of monthly visitors. If you want to get your work out there, this is your chance.

2. It’s the most fun way there is to earn drinking money.

3. If you’re an aspiring journalist, it’s a great way to get your foot in the door. I started off here as a remote writer during my sophomore year of college. Now I get to stare at Dorn’s model-quality hair all day, every day at my shiny, new full-time job. Becoming a remote writer for TFM was the best decision I ever made.

Here’s how the process works:

1. Write an original column, not news piece, with a word count of 550-800 words. If it’s a single word under 550, we aren’t going to bother reading it, and we might even publicly shame you. Your column should be funny, relatable, on-brand, and, most importantly, your own work. This is your chance to show us how funny you are. Seize the opportunity.

2. Create an account on the site.

3. Submit the column to the site by clicking “Submit” on the top menu bar, and then “Column” on the left menu bar. Then submit.

4. Include your email address in the title, in parentheses, so we can contact you.

Let’s see what you’ve got. Good luck.

    Does this mean you finally fired SteveHolt?

    On a more serious note, hire Shibby. He’s wrote a couple articles over on PGP, he knows what he’s doing, and it’s the least you could do after the Ballocaust. And bring back ruger_dern. His articles were a lot more legible than Holt’s.

      “And bring back ruger_dern.”Dern is forever welcome here. He knows that.

        Dammit, Dorn. We want fucking articles. I’d read “gewd playces fur pusy” a million times before reading a Holt article. He sent you a job application. Why isn’t he on staff?

        We really don’t need this kind of negativity at PGP. Our lives are already miserable enough.

        Dillon, I’ve had a few columns sitting in the “Pending” tab on both PGP and here, some for over 6 months. Does the editorial staff not delete the columns they chose not to publish?

      “He’s wrote a couple of articles…” Guess you won’t be applying, huh?

        I wish I was frat enough to correct grammar in a comment section. And to have Frat three times in my username.

    So all we need to do is be a better writer than Steve Holt? I’ll tell my 13 year old brother to apply.

      Careful what you wish for. Remember, Dorn is looking at the applications too.

    You had some great articles/series in the past. Why not bring some of them back? I understand that things like Frat Romance Novel take time, but bring back smaller series such as Ask The Intern, GDI of the week, etc. that were favorably received. I think I can safely speak on the behalf of everyone that we would prefer them to most of todays content.

      Do Dicks Picks the way they were originally done. I don’t want a stupid storyline
