It's just ridiculous!
(1 vote)

The time has come, the walrus said…

Celebrating the new Nonsense genre on Writer's Café, I am starting my first contest.

Throughout the Mad March Hare month, I'd like you to send me your nonsense poems and short (like the length of a hare's tail…) pieces of writing. Nonsense and Limericks only!

They may be acrostic, they may be agnostic, they may alliterate, or they may be illiterate, they may rhyme, but they may not reason.

And... to make things more ridiculous, I am starting this contest, with a Mad March hare leap, on the 29th February... hippety hoppety hoo haa.

Ladies, you may propose marriage to me, or another beau if you really insist, on this day also. In a ridiculous style of course!

Think Lewis Carroll, think Edward Lear, think Ivor Cutler and Spike Milligan amongst others. Let me know if there is a writer that particularly inspires you!

In the interest of fair nonsense, this contest will be by vote, so vote, baby, vote!

I'll be announcing winners on All Fools Day!

Pretty-Scary Anthology of Women in horror
(2 votes)

Are you a woman that writes with a darker ink than most? Then we would like to see your spill! We are putting out an anthology sometime in the next year (slated for December 2007) and you could be in it! What is this anthology, you ask? An anthology of raw, female talent in the horror genre.

Requirements:
1.) MUST be a female!
2.) MUST write horror (this could be straight horror or a mix of horror with any other genre or subgenre, including but certainly not limited to splatterpunk!) We don't care, as long as it is well-written and original.
3.) Work MUST be the authors' original work, plagerism is NOT tolerated!
4.) Stories are to be no more than 5,000 words and no less than 500.
5.) Unless you are utterly outstanding and extremely polished with it, do not send in poetry. Short stories only, please!
6.) Only one submission per author, so pick your very best to send!

Finally, have fun.
