Rallying the troops: Unwarranted Serendipity
I'm way behind.
1st - 106
2nd - 93
3rd - 35
Yes, I'm in third place.
mabfan wanted to know a little more about the contest, so here we go.
debtaber pointed it out to me a couple of weeks ago. Basically, diemonday is a humor blog targeted at those folks needing a bit of levity during their workday. They are kicking off the site with a short story contest for work-related stories. The contest was free to enter with great prizes (first gets $200, second $100, third $50, and fourth a sponge gun).
Well, I happened to have a nice piece coming out in a book I'm publishing later this summer by the wonderful Alethea Kontis (she invited me to submit something, so that helped my mind reconcile the self-publishing conundrum). I asked Alethea if she minded I entered the story in the contest. She waved her wand and said "Let it be so."
They story is a fictionalized and highly exaggerated retelling of my first fan convention experience (and meeting Alethea for the first time).
While I'd be delighted to win $50 or even the cool sponge gun (my little girl would go nuts with such a toy), I have my eye on the big prize: $200.
So please vote for me! Voting ends Sunday night.
