Ongoing Article and List Writer for Offbeat Unusual Online Magazine

Num. of articles: 1
Words per article: 1000
Topic: Several
Tone: Other
Outline & Structure: The site is a popular list based site, think in the style of: Cracked.com listverse.com
Im looking to increase the quality of the articles, so I'd like to find someone who can deliver quality copy in the same "voice" and style as something like Cracked or listverse.

Particularly interested in people who have a specialist knowledge in either science or history (or anything else nerdy, obsessive etc).

The articles are fun to write, wacky and off beat topics.

Im paying between $20 and $25 per article, I've got several writers, the ones who have been with me for a long time who I have increased the pay for.

Please do not bid higher as that is what the pay is currently, this is a long term stable job with ongoing work.

- Please send me an example piece of writing, preferably a link online, not an attached file please.

- Tell me why you would be so good at writing wacky, interesting, off the wall, pop-science, well researched articles like those on cracked.com or listverse.com.
Extensive research needed: yes
