Hi Adam,

Excellent, i figured you would probably suggest something shorter.
I'm in!

When is the deadline?

Thanks & best regards,
Selena

What if we did something like this... Could each of you write a shorter
piece about your experience (maybe 500 words) that we could run side by
side
as a comparison?

Hi Adam!

So excited to see my first real article in print (a book review for
"Vice" doesn't count). Thank you again for the opportunity!

I am writing to you with another idea - I know you have been in
contact with Barrett Brown, the political pundit/author/blogger about
him contributing a column to "Flavor of the Week." One story he is
going to pitch to you will be about his first real role playing
experience where he 1. "raped" a girl as she "struggled" and then 2.
fucked her again while she was "asleep." Well, I was that girl. It was
our first date. All of the sex that transpired was 100% consensual and
I thought it would be interesting if you would pick up both his
version as well as mine, sort of like a "he said/she said" piece. Two
sides of the same sex coin.

Anyway, I know that is asking you to take on two stories at once, but
it might be interesting to read; I know I would be into reading such a
piece (were I not the one pitching/writing it).

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks & best regards,
Selena

P.S. For convenience sake, I have CC'd Barrett on this email.
