Happy Saturday! We are still looking for writers. We got a ton of requests, but at this point we still have not signed on any people to the team. While we appreciate the enthusiasm of some of you, it really helps more if we could see a little of your work or at the very least, an example. Write something up, whether it is a news story or a review on anything you want and let us see it. If anyone contacted us about this and did not get a response, we apologize as we respond back to everyone – even those of you whose writing sucked worse than ours – but it is possible you slipped through the cracks or in the case of one person, your email provider is blocking emails from us.  So if you are interested in writing for free while selling your soul to Satan, let us know. Now, for some more details…

Here is a more outlined description of what we are looking for. If you plan on lowering your bar by writing for us, as we stated before, it helps to have some examples for us to look at. If you don’t have any, write something up. And remember, one well-written write-up don’t mean shit to us if you cannot reproduce it consistently. We are not looking for Pulitzer Prize winning material, people, we are looking for entertaining reads on a regular basis. If we want a guest blog, we will specifically ask for one (and speaking of, if any of you bloggers want to guest blog, contact us as well). So if you do not think you can produce content consistently, thanks but no thanks. Anyway, her we go:

We need a couple people to write up articles on news stories like the ones seen on the site. You read them, so this is pretty self-explanatory. Film reviews. These include any twisted stuff you want. Horror, thrillers, crime, dark comedies, etc. We had a number of people respond to this, but no one has worked out. Not just from the fact that their writing was worse than mine, but some just never contacted us again. Same with book reviewers. Lastly, people to writeup reviews on television shows. Weekly recaps and such.

What do we offer in return? Well, aside from getting your crap read by thousands of people, not much at this point. Not much of an incentive, I know. But we are looking for people who want to write stuff because they like to and are happy knowing it is getting read. If you are looking for monetary incentive we are not able to help you out there. At least, not at this point. Oh wait, if we dig you, you will get a nifty email address and the need to start practicing mumbling the name of the site you write for!

Friendfriend reviews: “You write reviews for a popular web site? WowWow reviews, which one? Screenrant? Bloody-Disgusting? ”

You (with hand covering mouth): “dreamindemon.com”

Friend: “Huh? I didn’t hear you, where was that? Did you say Dread Central?”

You (removing hand from mouth): “DREAMINDEMON.COM!”

Friend: “Oh, that depressing site that talks about baby rapers all day in between reviews of Syngenor and Who Can Kill A Child? Yeah. Um, good luck with that…“

Now come one, what could possibly be better than that? So if you are interested use the Contact Form. We ignore any other emails we receive other than the ones from the Contact Form. Now, on to some other site crap.

I am sure some of you have noticed a few additions to the site in way of features that you may or may not use or even care about so here is a real, quick rundown. One of the biggest questions is about the big, red bar at the bottom of the page. TrustTrust reviews me when I say that while initially aggravating, I have grown to love the damn thing. Not only can I get to my TwitterTwitter stuff, there are some other things there you FacebookFacebook users may like as well. There’s also easy access to our recent posts, pictures and even some games. I really suggest you take the time to at least check out each option once as you may find some of it useful.

Also placed sporadically throughout articles, you will see icons beside certain words. These are kind of self-explanatory once you hover over them. But basically they allow you to share your views on that particular subject via Blipprblippr and have them added to anyone else who did the same. Finally, you can now rate the articles we write up. You will see the simple star rating system at the end of each article. We hope you will take a second to rate the articles honestly. They are collected and stored and help us determine how we are doing – even though I just write crap to make myself laugh – not you.

I know that some of you are missing my sexy voice, obvious by the zero amount of emails I have gotten about it from the ladies too upset to send me any telling me that, so we will be resuming podcasts very shortly. They will not be done in the same fashion as they were before, and while I may not be in all of them (don’t cry, please…it just makes it harder for you) they will be weekly and touch on key articles that generated the most discussion on the site for that week. Readers of the site will be urged to join in on these as well. We will have more information on that once we get it a little further along.

Finally, we are not quite sure how we are going to do this, but we would like to show off some of your writing and artwork. If any of you have any dark and twisted short stories you have written or artwork you would like shared, send it to us along with your info. We, the staff, wont review it as much as we will choose certain works to show off to our readers either on the upcoming site newsletter, our Facebook page, Myspace page or even Twitter. We have added a new subject line in our Contact Form just for this.

Other than that, it is business as usual around here. Thanks for continuing to stop by, thanks for the news tips, and thanks for the hate as well as the love. It’s been a crazy five years and we still enjoy providing all the stuff to really scare the shit out of you while satisfying some of you twisted individual’s morbid curiosity.
