I have an acceptable entry. —That was my work of fiction that unfortunately does not meet the length requirement. Sorry Mike.

Only a few hundred words. I can't clear my throat in that time! What will I do?

@skep, thanks skep, submission accepted. ----@readoprojo maybe just the beginning of the introduction to a regular piece of yours?

Hello, this sounds like a wonderful opportunity! Thank you for posting. Just a couple of questions: Can I submit horror? Could you clarify a hundred words (Is that 300 max or...?) Can the piece have been self-published?

Howdy! Yes, no max/min for word count, yes! I need some good pieces to fill up the testing site to understand formatting and such, so need some good posts to fill that role rather than using lorem ipsum

No word limit. No that's better! I'll be in Sydney today. See what I can cough from the archives tomorrow

Speed was the key but I guess most people can't bang out 500 words on a dime

Just emailed you a 500-word story (exactly!) Drop me a line if you don't get it.

Sorry. Just realised you wanted non-fiction. I wrote fiction. Sorry. You don't need to use it.

Sorry. Sorry. Just reread. Fiction or non-fiction. I am a muddle-headed wombat

I feel like I'm watching late 90s's/early 2000's movies on TV as a kid with some of these lately. Effortless immersion

Honestly, sounds awesome. You 100% should make cool bad shit. There’s something special about making stuff just because it feels right—even if it’s just "hucked together." Plus, it kinda doubles as a service to the environment. Feels like your art already exists in your head, just waiting to get out. Grab that garbage bag next run!

Np! Looking forward to some trash masterpieces! We have been around, just got busy, BUT feeling the itch to get back to updating our page and along with that creating new film stuff. Stay tuned! =^.^=

I had a dear friend who purchased an art piece made from trash fished out of the sea. The items were assembled in a frame like a diorama and painted all in one color. It looked pretty awesome actually. The only thing is that it was super heavy. They hung it over the computer desk. It almost killed us one day as it fell and smashed the old school monitor underneath it as we sat in front of it.

...Anyway, I think you should totally make art out of trash. It is rad for all of the reasons catcat already mentioned.

Not an artist? I don’t know. Are any of us ever anything until we pretend that we are?
