Call for Submissions: Breakfast Topics
Update: Due to project renovations, Seed has closed the assignment a day early. We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience that may cause.
Yes, it's a picture of the most controversial cup of coffee that has ever graced the pages of WoW Insider again, so you know what that means. We're looking to you, dear readers, to help fill the WoW Insider Breakfast Topic cup with hot, fresh topics! What's on your mind (and what do you think is on other players' minds) when it comes to the World of Warcraft? Write it up as Breakfast Topic and submit your article for a chance to be published right here on WoW Insider.
We're looking for Breakfast Topics in our usual conversational style, asking the community for their thoughts on a WoW-related topic. Submissions should be between 200 and 300 words. (Watch that top end! Exceeding it substantially could get your submission thrown out, no matter how good it is. Brevity is your friend.) We're looking for strong writing in combination with topics that will spark an interesting conversation. Only the best submissions will be accepted. Multiple submissions from one author are allowed.
WoW Insider does not accept articles submitted under player names or pen names; please use your full, real name and an actual email address. Please include your email address again at the bottom of your submission; the email address will not be published, but it makes it easier for the WoW Insider staff to contact you if there is a need for it. Artwork is not mandatory, but any you choose to include must be your own work or via Creative Commons.
Currently, the Seed program only accepts submissions from individuals living in the United States, and we are not accepting submissions outside of the Seed service.
To submit an article, read up about our guest post program, then sign up for Seed. WoW Insider articles are not listed among Seed's open category listings; click here to view the assignment and submit your article. (You may be unable to see it unless you have a Seed account.) We'll accept Breakfast Topic submissions for this call-out until 11:59 p.m. Eastern on Thurs., Sept. 22. If you have additional questions about this assignment, drop us a line at alex@wowinsider.com.

WTB Seed allowing Canadian writers :(
Hurbster Aug 29th 2011 8:09PM
Or indeed anywhere outside the good 'ol USA...

2nding deadrabbits.
Someone do a write-up about what behind-the-curtain stats you'd love to get from Blizz. Hardware profiles à la Valve? Percentage of players who enter a level-appropriate raid on any character at least once a month?
Take this and run with it, with my blessing.

Time to earn some money again. Thanks!

Just out of curiosity, how much does Seed/Breakfast Topic pay per article?
DragonFireKai Aug 29th 2011 8:17PM
$10 per, at below 300 words, you can usually bang one out in about 20 minutes.

"Sorry, at this time AOL Write is only available to writers in the United States."

See above ^^
Warcraft is played in places other than the US, I find it sad that WoW Insider does not accurately represent this.

This is not a Wow Insider restriction but a Seed(A.O.L) restriction.
There are writers on the staff from outside the U.S.

I'd love to see a breakfast topic on how people cope with dual specialisation, I find the entire have to log out with the spec and items equipped to be a major pain in the back side, because not even the wow armoury seems to allow spec and gear switching. Been using askmrrobot.com which will remember characters, but it falls somewhat short of what I would like to see, equipment profiles assignable to your spec, so you can switch in the armoury at will.

The deadline on the Seed site was 12:00 AM 9/22, which is a day earlier than the article specified (11:59 PM 9/22). I can't submit my entries.
