Hey, guys. So when the Wiki Leaks happened I thought it was pretty funny that ANYTHING in the world could be revealed about ANYONE. So I started telling little stupid stories on facebook about "leaked" reports. "Putin has Small Penis" was the first one. Anyways, I started up a site. www.theleakywiki.com and have been trying to build a community of parody news writers. It's been a lot harder than I thought to get writers on board, so I've been doing all of the writing.

Basically, you write an article, and if people think it's funny they vote it up. When your article is voted up ten times it gets put on the front page.

Since it's pretty new, it's a great spot for people who want their writing to be noticed. Many other sites I've been to are swamped with writers.

If this idea sucks, what can I do different to make it more writer friendly? Thanks!!

The site looks really professional. Good job! I would only add that the headlines need to be 'snappier'. The articles themselves are good, but the headlines don't entice me in.

I'm glad there's another news satire site. Not nearly enough of them already.

You could write a satirical news story on that angle Kevin.

And then I'll do a spoof of Kevs story

Yeah there are a lot but if you can do it differently or do it better than most then there's no reason to avoid it.
