out sites like WB Online, AtomFilms, Urban Entertainment, Mondo Media, and
Homestarrunner.com. Some sites allow you to submit material directly to the site. If there
are rules, those rules are posted. Usually, agents aren’t required for submission.
Another area for animation writers and developers is the kids’ sites like Disney,
Nickelodeon, Noggin, and Kids WB! Much of this material is either created in-house or by
smaller companies like Unbound Studios that have experience in this area.
Few writers can make a living by writing animation for the Internet alone, but the Inter-
net holds promise in the future not only for a full-time occupation but as a part of the
rainbow of possibilities in freelance writing.
Writers are also needed for corporate intranets, museum kiosks, and interactive televi-
sion like Web-TV (which allows you to watch the Internet and TV at the same time). They’re
needed for training multimedia, references like encyclopedias, and so forth.
