Writing for Cracked

I was just recently inducted into the ranks of the writers of Cracked.com, a well-known comedy site whom I have been visiting and reading for quite a while. The interest of writing for them sparked within me not long ago, and, having found out that they are freely hiring writers into their ranks for free, I've decided to join in the action. I am now promised good money (fifty US dollars) if one of my articles reaches a million viewers. Of course, that could be just a wet dream, but who knows. Fifty dollars sure is a lot for someone like me.

Of course, this will not completely divert my attention from Sulatang Tapunan. ST is my personal site/blog/whatever, and I will always budget my time every week to write on it every once in a while. Perhaps if one of my pitches (aka article ideas) were not accepted by the Cracked editors, I may publish it independently on Sulatang Tapunan. But there are some bad news.

 If I'm lucky enough to have one of my articles published on Cracked, all of my rights concerning the ownership of the said article will be given to the Cracked editors. In exchange for the rights on my works they will give me recognition, and money (in case the article reaches a million views). So basically, we call each other as "comrades" in the Cracked writers guild.
