I know some of you write original fic, so I thought I'd pass this along. I heard this on the radio the other morning. It's a contest to write "three minute fiction" (about 500-600 words), put on by NPR.

Here's the story about the contest.

Here's the first line and where you submit it.

P.S. Curlywurlys are very good.

Hmmm...the first link says the contest is closed, but the second one doesn't say that at all...

Not that I could enter since I'm not in the US...

Oh, you know I think they had a first round that just finished up. Maybe it worked so well they're doing it again?

I only picked them up because of you! I saw them at the store today. "HEY!" :D

YAY! I am pleased to have spread the Curly Wurly message to all and sundry. Or, you know, to you. :)

I've been watching the C Series of QI this weekend and in one episode they were talking about being able to buy Deep Fried Curly Wurlys in Scotland.

I think I've been put off for life. D:

BWAH! Yeah, that doesn't sound so appetizing. But then deep fried Snickers or Twinkies never sounded good to me either.

That opening line has been stuck in my head all day and it won't leave me alone. ;;

Of course, the only idea I have for this is hideously depressing and Nabokovian. *sigh*

Maybe they'd like that! :D
