Submitting a video to teh escapist

[SpannerMan]

Hypothetically, if I created a kick ass Flash video and thought it was good enough quality to be a featured video series on The Escapist, how would I go about contacting them and/or submitting my vid?

I believe the escapist is always looking for more talent so if it truely is a kick ass flash video then they probably will be interested.

PM a mod asking him about it and then you might just get accepted for it

The answer lies here: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/help

It consists of emailing editor@escapistmag.com - all content submissions go through there.

Oh no, it's not.
Why else would you want to know that?

Oh yes it is

Actually I forgot to check - do these guys get financial compensation for getting their vids hosted on The Escapist?

From the FAQ:

"I don't like your player. Why don't you just use YouTube/Google/_____?
The reason we're able to provide original video is because we pay our content creators (writers and video creators). In order to cover that cost, and make sure we can keep doing it, we run ads on our pages and in the videos themselves. To do this, we can't use a free video service."

So yeah, you get compensation. Though perhaps not in the beginning as they would want to see how your video/series fares.
