As the number of Glibs writing for the community happily continues to grow, I thought it would be nice to give you all a little extra recognition. Because, hey, let’s be honest: that’s really all you get here. š
To that end, I’ve done a couple things. First, if you have written even one article for the community, I’ve upgraded you to Contributor. That’s why your dashboard might look a little different when you login to the site.
Along with giving you the ability to draft your own future articles–after we give the go-ahead in reply to your proposed articleĀ submission form, this also means that your byline and author bio will show on your posts.
Please be aware that there are currently 2,339 published articles on Glibertarians. I went through them all one by one tonight and tried to make sure I edited them to show your byline and author bio. Going forward this will automatically happen, but I wanted your previous articles to be included.
Because…I’ve also created a Contributing Writers page for the site, which is linked from the About Us page up top, and is also in the footer navigation.
As you can see from this screenshot, the page shows the writer’s avatar, username, bio, and number of posts. The post number button will take a viewer to an index of all the articles by that writer.
I tried to hit all the posts of current Glibs, but if I inadvertently missed your post among the 2,339, please drop me a note through the website contact form and I’ll correct the oversight.
Conversely, if for whatever reason you DO NOT want to be included on the Contributing Writers page, let me know that as well and I will remove your listing.
Since you will now be able to draft your posts, I’m putting together an information page with guidelines on how to turn off the sidebar (etc) and how to let the editors know it’s ready to be reviewed and scheduled. We’ll include a link to that info when we reply to your submission form. No worries, however, if you can’t draft your own posts. We’re here to help!
Again, sincere thanks from all of the Founders for generous sharing of your interests, thoughts, passions and knowledge. The Glibertariat make the community what it is. We truly would not still be here without all of you.
Moving on. A couple weeks ago I added a Downloads page to the site, linked up top and in the footer menu. At the moment this includes Hatcher’s Notebook recommended by Suthenboy, and Defense Distributed’s free plans. I imagine there will be other resources added in the future.
I’m off to catch a couple hours sleep. Have a great day!
Hmmmm… I was already a contributor and now I feel less important. I blame inflation.
Well…perhaps. But you have a LARGE number of posts. Size matters?
I know… I am never allowed through the back door. But such is life.
You got to learn how to sell it…
A little wine, some candle-light and rose petals, and some Barry White on the stereo?
And 55 gallons of lube.
Did you try the old “just the tip” schtick?
I guess SP hates you, because I got upgraded to a Managing Contributor account.
/just stirring the shit
Getting ready to try out this week’s GlibFit HIIT workout. If you never hear from me again, you know why!
drowned in pussy due to your new shredded bod?
I proclaim myself most cultured of all contributors. Anyone has any objection?
It is settled then…
Not I.
I though you were sleeping
Are you saying you contain the most microorganisms?
I shant contest that title.
Swarthy and smell of stale goat yogurt? That is exactly how I envision you Pie.
That reminds me, I have half-finished articles to wrap up. I have a time contention. When I sit down to write and there’s progress being made on a sellable work, I tend to give that priority. Either I have to finish the book I’m on, or get another bout of writer’s block.
Technically, I could mark up and submit parts 1-3 of the Kitbash series, but I wanted that to be complete before I submitted them.
Larry Correia said there ain’t no such thing as writers block…
Larry lies.
Well Larry wrote a whole bunch of books. Only read the first one so can’t say how good, but still
Piers Anthony said the same thing. But considering some of the trash he published, I wouldn’t consider that a good thing.
I remember he did a dullsville novelization of “Total Recall” that was hilariously bad. Like, entire paragraphs repeated verbatim a couple pages later bad.
Renovelization? Just hand the people “We Can Remember it for you Wholesale”.
Ooh, this reminds me I have submitted a piece here before. I should probably think about adding more, maybe sneak my bum over to Tokyo and report on the activities of the Glibertarian Gaijins.
Bleah. Mostly just work. And daddy stuff. Not much room for anything else.
It can be like an Ozu YasujirÅ movie but in text and picture form. It’ll be great. Also, I believe you recommended a Mr. Colion Noir to me during the past few days. Thank you very much for that by the way. I’ve been checking out his interviews and he’s very entertaining and bright.
*Basks in the recognition*
Is this the morning post where we skip the article and links and just post silly shit?
No, it’s just slightly pinned, hit the “next article” button for the lynx.
THANK YOU, SP!!1! The contributor thing is a big plus for me since I do serial fiction with long gaps between chapters (shut up, Swiss), and it’s nice for it to be easy for my fans (both of them) to easily find the previous parts of the work. I had thought about asking for this but it seemed so trivial given all the other work you do for the site, and that you have a life outside of here.
*begins to raise hand….lowers it*
This is discriminatory.
It shouldn’t be legal. There needs to be a law.
Why, yes my good man…we do have discriminating taste!
*adjusts monocle*
Thanks SP! Now I really need to get that second article finished…
WOOHOO!
I am now a published author.
And my wife thinks she married an idiot.
My wife hasn’t yet realized that she married an idiot. She is such an idiot
I’ve told my wife many times that I know she’s not smart because a smart woman would have married someone else.
Her reply? “You can’t argue with that logic”
Can I get “Free Rider” status?
Yoga pants: getting men in trouble with their wives since 2010 (is that about when they started taking off?).

4 wins the tits award and 16 looks like she’s angling for a completely different workout.
Number 9 is doing an alt-right code sign
And number 21 has swamp ass.
“Make sure he don’t have sweat on your ass before taking a picture of your ass to show how hot you are” seems like common sense to me. I am so disappointed in this, Q. I had high hopes for this list.
Now you’ve given me the push I needed to write my next article. Thanks!
Oh, man. I just looked at my contributed articles count.
One.
I should probably get up off of my lazy ass and write another.
Iām not saying that was the intention…but it was aliens.
Thanks for all the hard work, SP.
Seconded.
Nick Gillespie would like to take this moment to remind you why Glibertarians-dot-com exists.

Christ, what an asshole.
I posted this in the morning links. Consider the fact that Gillespie is the same man who has called the Ron Paul Movement a pipeline to the alt-right and smeared Walter Block as a “neo-confederate” in the NYT.
It would be nice if Gillespie were as charitable to libertarians as he is toward socialists.
His conservative inclinations to defend the status quo no matter what is exactly why he is the “Nick Gillespie of Libertarianism”
What really aggravates me the most about him is that he aims to be seen as some edgy contrarian, but his actions mimic those of a spineless centrist like the mom who can’t figure out how to deescalate a fight between her kids.
“Maybe you’re right, or maybe your sister is right – you can both be right!”
*thwap* *thwap*
Go to your rooms. No electronics. I do not give a crap who started it or why.
*high fives another member of the āIām your mother, not your best friendā school of parenting*
Can I get āFree Riderā status?
#METOO
Okay, I put one in the pipeline.
Woohoo!
Okay, I put one in the pipeline.
Oh, my!
Dammit. Note to self: Think before you post.
I promise my next one – if there’s a next one – will be less wordy and more punchy.
