Hello,
My name is Joshua M. Patton and I am a writer. I am currently working on a longfrom piece (~10,000 words) and in this piece I am going to be examining the world of cam modeling. I hope to publish this piece in a literary journal, read mostly by the academic and arts communities. I am looking for models who have been in the business awhile or are brand new to be interviewed.
I discovered myfreecams when interviewing an adult-film actress. We were discussing the state of her industry and if it is in decline. She had worked as a studio “cam-girl,” before and felt that sites like yours were akin to the self-publishing boom in writing – a subject I could relate to. She suggested that sites like MFC are inherently bad for business – because of the “free” nature of the site – but that it represents a way for models and actresses to cut out middlemen. Although, since she has never performed for these sites, she wasn’t sure.
As a writer, I enjoy examining the parts of human nature that we don’t openly discuss and I think patronizing MFC is one of those things. Given the online slant of some of my previous work, I am delighted to have discovered this site. Not only are people falling in love and hooking up online, this is akin to an online strip club. While the initial appeal is the sexual part of the performance, the money is made in the relationships between the models and their viewers. Of course, this is just my uniformed perspective. I have interviewed dancers, adult-film actors/actresses, and black-market sex workers, and understand how to treat these subjects with discretion and cover them without judgment or false morality. While I am looking to profile certain models specifically, I would also appreciate interviewing models without naming them, so I can get a better sense of the business. I want this essay to educate, entertain, and most importantly, accurately capture this reality.
My e-mail address is JoshPatton@aol.com. I am including links to my author pages at various sites as well as a piece that I wrote last year about online dating. I hope to use that essay and this one in a larger, book-length project about how the internet is affecting interpersonal relationships and emotional vs. physical intimacy. In the article, I would want to use your actual screen name (this is nonfiction, thus has to be factual), but your given names can remain a mystery if you so choose.
I would also be interested in speaking with any users of the sites willing to talk about what you might get from the experience.
Thanks for reading and I look forward to hearing from you all.
Most sincerely,
Joshua M. Patton

Would it be too bizarre or bad taste to call the confidential sources "deepthroat" in this instance? :-D
