There was a website that i thought would be good to write for a while back and i used to have their url. They pay I think between 50 and 200 dollars for personal stories about issues such as jobs, college, relationships and i think they're geared for a youngadult crowd. I think it was called collegeties or collegestories or personal ties, but I just can't remember.

I had a really great article on how I notice people don't do a good job at explaining their jobs to each other that I wanted to publish through them.

Because i don't log on here very often, please feel free to mail any advice directly to:

snippets only
common ties still pays, but they're on to a new theme now, where the answers have to be something like 30 words long and answer 1 of 20 questions... which blows. i used to like that site. now it feels voyeuristic.

Regarding Commonties
Yea, what is up with that deep, dark intrusive Q&A? I went on today to submit a relationship story, and couldn't get beyond the Q&A thing. Is this new and a constant? Or do they have different themes each week, and I'll have to wait this one out?

yes!
yes, you are correct, Commonties was the one I was thinking of.
