Turn Your Spam Into Flash-Fiction

Weird Tales magazine is having a clever contest - Take your email spam and use it to create flash-fiction:

Write a flash-fiction story — under 500 words — based on a spam you’ve received. Send your story, along with the headline that inspired it, to contest@weirdtales.net before 9 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 4. The Weird Tales editorial team will judge them, and three winners will be announced at the Weird Tales reception on Friday, Aug. 8 at the World Science Fiction Convention in Denver!

The first-, second-, and third-place winners will all be published online at WeirdTalesMagazine.com the week of August 11. The first- and second-place winners will also receive three free issues of Weird Tales; and the first-place winner will also receive an autographed copy of Ekaterina Sedia’s incredible new novel The Alchemy of Stone.

We encourage you to spread this announcement far and wide. But note: entries from Nigeria will be examined very closely.

And you thought all those emails telling you how to increase your size would never come in handy.
