Style Guide

So you want to be a contributor to DeadBrain, do you? Well, let's see if you've got the guts to deal with our style guide first.

Humor
People come here to laugh, and if your article makes us laugh, that's half the battle. (GI Joe fans know what the other half is.) We especially like articles with a good point to make, so if you can present a unique slant on a topic and make it funny, you'll make us swoon.

Style and length
We emulate (if emulate means trying to copy something without having received the proper training) the laws of print journalism. Please use correctly punctuated and paragraphed English, and accurate spelling and grammar – don't rely on a spell checker to save you! Limit articles to 350 words, maximum.

What to write about
The editor-in-chief is the final arbiter of what the DeadBrain audience will understand, and what will make their skull casings shatter. Your best bet is to stick with current events. In Internet time, 'old' is just another word for 'dead.'

Names
Real people's names should be used realistically (i.e., accurately). If you need made-up names in your article, then use our stock names ("Fred Butler," "Morgan Fanberg," "Giovanni Colonna") or variations thereof.

Bias
The only unacceptable target, until further notice, is Chelsea Clinton. All other public figures are fair game.

Headlines
When you submit your article you are given the opportunity to enter a headline and an optional summary for the front page. Make your headline good - people won't click on it if it doesn't sound worth it.

And finally...
It's DeadBrain, not Deadbrain, deadbrain or Dead Brain. Get it wrong at your peril.
