I have narrowed my list down to three entries, and I am hoping that I will have a moment of clarity when I suddenly have no ambiguity.

Well, well, well.
It seems there may be a little bit of snivling rivalry in the Eagan household. You may recall that 10 year old Mari BEAT HER FATHER MERCILESSLY in a past competition “Your Childhood is on the Line” and took home the trophy.
Mari’s brother Sam decided to toss [...]

Glad I put out an alert! While some people think my dis-array has a certain charm to it, others (like my fellow editor Derek in the UK) find it a constant source of annoyance. Jonny Tobias (you could not invent a more interesting pen name) has patiently perused the site daily, [...]

We may have another story or two lingering to post in our contest that recently ended “Wherefore a.r.t. though?” If you sent us a story and have not seen it published yet, it is purely unintentional–we want everyone who sent something to us to see their work on line, so let [...]

We have another entry into out contest “Wherefore a.r.t. though?” from the household of regular contributor Mac Eagan. But this is not from Mac, the Divine Miss M, Mickey Mouse, or that precocious Mari. It seems Mac has a son, Sam, who would like to carry on the family tradition. And [...]

Why do I get the distinct feeling this entry came from the other side of the pond? Derek talks like this.
Here is another entry into our perspired and retired contest “Wherefore a.r.t. though?” Still a few more entries to post before we announce a winner.

If you read our technical advisory, you will know our ability to post on the blog was under threat due to a bug in the system of our server–they had no way to take our money. They still don’t have it worked out, but have issued an extension to us for [...]

It appears as if Vance and Grant will be interloping into each contest. We met them in One Tite Write, and here they are again. I would never have known at all had I not entered their names in the search box to make sure in my drug induced stupor (last [...]

The “Wherefore a.r.t. though?” diner closed a while back, but we still have a few guests to serve. We start flippin’ chairs in a day or two, but only after everyone who submitted an entry gets their just desserts.

Every now and then I decide to take someone’s most intimate communications with me and make it public, without their knowledge and consent. They were “thorned.”
