McSweeney's announces "weird short story" contest. A $3,000 (american) prize. Deadline March 10, 2004.

I'd kind of be shocked if someone from barbelith ~didn't~ win this.

I entered this. Anybody else?

I keep meaning to...

OK, I have to share this -- it's another thing by my friend Van.

The Valley of the Screaming Cheese.doc

I don't know if he submitted it or not, but he SHOULD HAVE.

Your friend Van might = sui generis.

I entered the contest too. Good luck to us.

Yeah, I sent something in. Doubt anything'll come of it; the story in question has been rejected by a couple of webzines already.

Well, I say rejected. Actually they just ignored all my emails until I went away.

Bah. I just got a form e-mail saying there were over 600 entries and I didn't win. Oh well.

So who/what won?

Some bloke called Jay Roberts. He gets a hell of a build-up though ...
