I understand the style issue. Writers who write for general, informative requests all day may have a hard time shaking themselves out of that rut. What can really help a writer, and I'm sure that you include this as a writer yourself, is specifics about the style you want. If you want the post to be funny, say so. Should the "funny" be sarcasm, puns, corny jokes or situational irony? There are also levels of formality. Asking the author to stick to third-person writing and avoid contractions can emphasize the formality of the article. I'm sure that you already give excellent instructions, but anyone else looking to use a freelancer, whether with Textbroker or on the open market, might enjoy the reminder.
