The most effective and thought-provoking articles I've read had solid positions, reasoning, and explanations to them. A catchy title and intriguing intro definitely help but aren't absolutely necessary. A clear position, though, that makes or breaks the article. Positions like "All space koalas are filthy pirate scum" makes it pretty clear where I stand on the issue, but it's now up to me to explain why I take that position. And just what does my position mean for the reader?

Magazines are a quixotic group, but I believe that writers have made them such. Receiving daily queries and submissions to articles months out requires a ridiculous amount of patience, quick thinking, and the ability to survive head-desking on a regular basis. Meanwhile, us writers are sitting at home, checking for responses, wondering what's taking them so long – I just sent it to them yesterday, how can they be so unprofessional as to not respond to my brilliant article on the many jobs weasels can be trained for?
Okay, so both sides of the equation are a bit quixotic. Maybe it's infectious.

Mwuahahaha, I hold in the power of my hands the almighty 1d20, capable of ruining your puny mortal existence. At least if I roll high enough, anyway. Thus are the powers of playing god in games. You control the gameplay, the plot, and even the outcome. Use this power wisely, or you may just be overthrown. Being immortal doesn't make you invincible. Just look at Cronos, Ymir, or any inexperienced Dungeon Master.

Plays need a set, whether it's an elaborate ever-changing stage with rotating backdrops and several intermissions to swap out bits and pieces, or a simple black box setup with white lighting. It's up to you to figure out what scenery must be in the script so it'll be on the stage and what can be left to the imaginations of the producer and actors.

A lot of things have been done in the name of poetic license. Wars, religious upheaval, plagues, love, destiny, loud noises...wait, that's religion. Scratch that. But poetic license is used a lot, just not for such disturbing reasons. Well, maybe for love, but that rarely turns out the way you expect. With or without poetry.
