Date: 2007-09-18, 2:40PM EDTI have $200 worth of Gift Certificates for Dunkin Donuts in exchange for some creative writing. They have over 18 different types of coffees, lattes, as well as their donuts and breakfast sandwiches which make perfect writing companions!
Basically, I’m an artist/game designer who needs some characters and storylines fleshed out. I have the basic skeletal outlines but need someone to fill em in.
E-mail me for more details!
You know, nothing says writing companion to me more than a cholesterol burger washed down with a fattening coffee drink.
I guess first I would wonder why anyone would have $200 worth of Dunkin Donuts coupons? My second question is, why would anyone want $200 worth of Dunkin Donuts coupons? Even all the wonderful greasy and caloric goodness described above doesn’t quite convince my landlord to accept a months worth of donuttery in exchange for rent. Until he does that, I have to pass.
I’ve got a friend who swears by Dunkin Donuts coffee. Maybe I should forward the posting to him…
There are so many desperate writers out there that he probably had someone offer to do it for $100 worth of coupons.
Or is this really some kind of guerrilla marketing scheme by Dunkin Donuts?
Oh, great, now all I can think about is Dunkin Donuts jelly donuts. Thanks, CC…
kk, who’s jonesing but still not that desperate
Even with my unnatural love for Dunkin’ Donuts Munchkins, I wouldn’t work for DD coupons.
I agree with Kristen though, I’m jonesing now too. =(
I must admit. I’m tempted. $200 worth of donuts, who wouldn’t want that? Maybe I could donate them to the local police department.
You wouldn’t want to give them to a 17 year old that has to spend 1-2 hrs there because her dad drops her off at 6 in the morning so he can go to work? I’m there everyday anyway before school lol now that would be awesome
