The PEN15 Club

Friday will be the PEN15 Club’s two-month anniversary, nearing 100 posts. Can you believe that’s all the longer we’ve been writing this shit? Amazingly, we’re already sporting nearly 300 visitors a day. We don’t know if that’s good or bad for a blog that’s two months young, but it sure scares the shit out of us knowing that a whole bunch of people are reading our personal and very private journal.

So, dear readers, being the needy, high maintenance bitches that we are, we thought we’d ask for a few easy things to help the next two months be every bit as successful as the first:

1. More readers. Call us greedy, but it gets us all wet at the thought of having a readership the size of O magazine. How can you help? If you like a post, email it to your friends. All of them. And include the word “brilliant.” Bookmark us. Check back every day for the latest.
2. A Blogads invite. You’ll only understand this if you’re a fellow blogger, but that fucking club is harder to get into than Katie Holmes’s diary. But we wouldn’t mind makin’ a little cashmoney off this beast, even if it meant inconveniencing you with a couple blogads.
3. Gin. Seriously. If you want us to be funny, we need a little inspiration from our muse. Her name is Sapphire. Inquire here for shipping instructions.
4. Another writer. Keeping you kids entertained is hard work. Considering we’ve got day jobs and all, the only time we have to blog is between tricks in the evening/early morning. And while we can’t retire off the site quite yet, we’d love to take on another writer. If you’re a regular reader, you pretty much get what we’re looking for. We can’t pay you except in underhanded compliments and the gin that gets sent to us, but we promise you’ll have a good time. Email an inquiry or a couple writing samples to us.
5. Links. Have a blog or a site that you think meshes with ours? Throw up a link and we’ll do the same. Just let us know.
6. Skrilla. Can’t offer help in any other way but still want to see us prosper? You can donate some cold, hard cash. This Interweb stuff ain’t free, and our entry level salaries make it real hard to keep the domain afloat. For the right price, we’d send you pictures of all the places on our bodies where we can write “PEN15.” Some of them are even serendipitous.
7. Ideas, tips, and general dialogue. We love hearing from you. I’m hard just thinking about it. So if you’ve got a shout out, a tip, or a general idea for the Club, we’re all ears. Our emails appear at the top left of each screen.
8. COMMENTS! Contribute to the dialogue on each post - write your two cents! It’s anonymous. And if we don’t like it, we’ll just delete it.

Thanks for making the last two months great!
