What is Fresh Arsenal’s biggest flaw? Is it the abundance of unqualified writers; the frequent speeling mistakes; the annoying advertisements that tell you how to get a six pack in a week? No. Fresh Arsenal’s biggest flaw is its lack of user interaction.
When was the last time you got to write an article for the site? The answer is simple – you never have. It’s time to change that.

When you see a [write about something we’re describing in this box], you can get ultra-creative and use your own words to finish the sentence.
The time for reading is now over – the time for creating has begun! Make your own articles using the template below, and once you’re done, be sure to share your finished articles with the rest of the world (don’t send them to us, we really don’t want to hear from you).
