How to Serve the Scorching Details
- Start With the Who, What, Where, When, Why (and a little “OMG”). The more receipts you provide—screenshots, pics, TikTok links, Venmo descriptions—the easier it is for us to fact‑check and dramatize.
- Be Specific, Babe. “Some guy said something shady at Number Nine” is cute, but “Kevin K. from Kickball Team The Swallows was heard bragging about sabotaging Pitch Please’s jerseys at Nellie’s Sunday at 3 p.m.” is the stuff Pulitzer dreams are made of.
- Keep It Legal (ish). No revenge‑porn, personal data dumps, or anything that’ll land us—or you—inside the D.C. lockup. Satire is fabulous; defamation is not.
- Choose Your Anonymity Adventure.
- Totally Ghost: Use the contact form below to get in touch with us (if you are super paranoid, sign up for a free Proton Mail account to get in touch).
- Secret Identity: Use a burner IG/Twitter handle—our DMs are open like Drag Race casting calls.
- Full Credit, Full Glory: Want a byline and eternal brunch bragging rights? Tell us, and we’ll shout you out louder than a Sunday sermon at Town.
What We Love to Publish
- LGBTQ Nightlife Naughtiness — from U Street dive‑bar debauchery to clandestine bathroom meet‑ups in Georgetown.
- Political Shenanigans — hill staffers, lobbyists, or anyone flashing a security badge where they shouldn’t.
- Culture & Celebrity Sightings — did Troye Sivan pop into a Capitol Hill coffee shop? We need the latte order, too.
- Community Wins (or Woes). We spill drama, but we also spotlight heroes and hacks making D.C. queer life shine—or cringe.
The Fine Print (Because Our Lawyer Demands It)
District Drama reserves the right to edit, withhold, or flamboyantly embellish any submission. By sending us content you confirm you have the right to share it and grant us a worldwide, royalty‑free license to publish it (big legal smooch 💋). Nothing here is legal advice; nothing here is an admission of anything. If your tip leads to a Pulitzer, we’ll buy you bottomless mimosa brunch—scout’s honor.
