h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Ah ha, you appear to be very knowledgeable on the subject, but you're spiralling off into the realms of romantic fiction. I am a journalist, a journalist servicing the national magazines of this fine country... erm, Britain.
I would consider my work 'Gonzo', most editors would describe my work as 'Gonzo', along with 'largely unprintable', 'libelious' and even 'liabl eto incite violence' - which was how my piece on my wanderings in the Sahara desert was described by the editor of the Readers Digest.

Hunter S. Thompson is certainly the father of gonzo journalism and, in my humble opinion, all that's good about writing for a living. God knows, the drugs help - and I've had my fair share of those as well - but that's not what it all about, oh no! It's about getting away with it, about being paid for something which comes so naturally, it's not work at all, and even being revered for it. That's what gonzo journalism is, being a journalist without having to resort to journalism.

Oh, it's also about not checking your work for mistakes, that's the job of desk-bound sub-editors, God help them.
