"That Scotland has so few trees."
a short story by Lydia Davis.
isn't that the best story you've read all day? possibly even all week! i love super micro fiction. i bought this book once where all the stories were 250 words or less. i thought that was pretty crazy. course, i hadn't heard of drabbles at that point. a story in 100 words or less. then i bought this neil gaiman short story collection, and it's got a drabble in it. a drabble about santa claus. and how he's being held captive by the elves. it was a christmas card he sent out one year. how many people would i KILL to receive a christmas card from neil gaiman? ... a lot ...
anyhow, what i'm mainly here to do today is pimp a micro fiction contest. for those of you who are writers and yet can't be bothered to read the prose news column -you should be aSHAMED!- take a gander here. look a little further on down the page, and you will see that `danielzklein has thrown down the gauntlet of telling a story in less than 500 words. and then he apparently ran for the hills. heheh. anyhow, i thought i'd pimp that. coz among the thousands of people in the world, SOMEONE can write the story that will knock mister `danielzklein straight off his feet and he will realize the error of his ways. heheh.
the other thing i'm here to pimp is ~LostCauseMagazine. coz they rawk. they've gotten themselves a little lulu.com account, and they're getting themselves on the path towards more traditional publishing. i

W.T.F. izzat?!
i realize that onomotopeia in other languages is sometime a little silly sounding to americans, but come on, ufufu?
can't those cool japanese people be more creative than that?
i sure hope so, or the anime/manga industry will go the way of the cilakanth.
and it is.
i like tee hee better.
