I'm in! When is the deadline? Thanks & best regards, Selena On Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 3:25 PM, arathe <ARathe@manhattanmedia.com> wrote: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? On Apr 19, 2010, at 3:20 PM, Selena Leong wrote: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.
