I'm one of the eight finalists in broken pencil magazine's Indie Writers' Deathmatch (obnoxious hipster contest? you bet! look at the graphic on the website!), which means that starting this monday, the 28th, you can vote for my story (if you like it or if you don't, but want to help me out with affording a post-secondary education) for a week and help me win money and books and publication and things!

You know, if you feel like it, or whatever. The story will be up on the website (www.brokenpencil.com) starting monday.

p.s.: all those awkward brackets are hopefully not an indication of my actual skills as a writer. hopefully.

Could you post a direct link to your story on Monday?  The little hipster avatars melted my eyeballs when I tried to navigate the site.  Good luck, though, my little antichrist friend!
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

Of course!

And thank you.

I wish this was everyone's plan, really.

Okay guys, the stories are up at http://www.brokenpencil.com/deathmatch/ for the next week.  Mine's the one that isn't by a guy.

If you vote for me I will bake you cookies or something exciting like that. We'll figure it out.

Are you cynically pandering to the electorate simply to win the election? If you'll admit it, I will cynically give you my vote

My Internet connection just came back for a moment.  It won't last long.  But I've used part of my limited time online today read and vote for your story.

I'll be counting on your sponsorship when I decide to emigrate.

If cynical pandering's what does it for ya, then cynical pandering's what i'm doing.

Sarah - consider it a deal. I'm more than honoured to have been a part of your small internet browsing time window.

The whole piece was good but I loved that little part about your dad's lamp.
