HW: The first assignment is to write as though submitting to the Escapist so it is only natural that you should read some of the articles there! Here is a selection I have chosen from the same week in 2012 that all our examples were from, which illustrate well the tone you are shooting for. Read and comment here - not on the content but on the TONE of the pieces.
