Sorry about this, but I'd like to appeal to all writing Jatraqueros to submit something for issue two of The Metastatic Whatnot. We're having some difficulty filling our ToC, and I know (just from the poetry thread, for one!) that there are some good writers here. Guidelines are on the site (one thing, though: contrary to what's said there, we are looking for non-fiction, the rate for which will be US$10 a piece).
While I'm at it, I might as well plug my new blog, too. Yeah. Go read it. I mean, if you want to. . . .
Edit: Because I'm curious, but don't want to start a new thread—does anyone else here keep a blog? I'm sure there've been topics on this before, but I must have missed them.
Edit 2: Also, vote for my blog in the Asia Weblog Awards here and here. If you don't, the terrorists have already won!

I have a confession to make...I really hate the phrase 'ripping good yarn'. Otherwise, blog is most excellent. Exchange of the day made me laugh out loud. Posts: 13123 | Registered: Feb 2002

Dan, of course I remember it. I enjoyed reading it, but looking at it now, I don't think it's for us. As I said, we're focussing on literary topics with regard to non-fiction (just for comparison, we ended up not running one of the editor's essays that was on film because of the relevance issue). Bu thanks for the offer.
pooka, we pay you $10 (on publication). We get the moola using our patented "four guys saving money" method.

I was a little worried since the names of a couple of the staff sounded made up. I just hoped they weren't involved in... you know... pimpage or something. But I guess a lot of people spend at least that much (divided by four) on hobbies.

Actually, I think he's in high school. Could you be a little less condescending and snobbish yourself? You sound like someone whose ex-girlfriend dumped him for a lib-arts student.

AE, I notice you're purchasing first electronic rights. Does that -- as it traditionally does -- automatically disqualify anything that has already been posted to the web?

Argent: Huh? Were you responding to a deleted post?
As for the paper diary. . . I foten wonder the same thing msyelf about people who keep really private blogs. Maybe Syn meant "one other person"?
Tom: Nope. Firstly, we're not too anal about it, and secondly, we do take reprints.
Miss Severe Hottie: Our deadline for issue two is. . . well actually, as long as it gets to us in time for our webmaster to slot it in for the 1 Jan release, it's fine.

So. . . doesn't anyone else have a blog? Am I the only narcissist in the hizzouse? And by the way, if you check mine out, it can't hurt to vote for it in those *cough* silly award things. Posts: 2443 | Registered: Apr 2002

I had put a post up about your blog that was a bit derogatory, and Argent responded to it. Although he was way off base about the lib arts thing, he did make me realize I was being a bit too harsh about the blog. You weren't asking for editorial opinion, but were merely requesting perusal of the blog. I realized my mistake and retracted my post.

Well, Tom, if it was ever nominated for an award, I'd vote for it. Just as you should vote for Metastasis here and here. You know you want to.

I'm trying to think of something short to write. But my short stories always turn into something much longer.
