can o' spam
Welcome to our new daily feature: Can O' Spam. This is the where we will post the SPAM email prompts every day. We invite you to use them as writing
prompts, and then submit them to us for publication. Please make sure you put SPAM ENTRY either in the subject line or in your cover letter. While it SHOULD be obvious from the context, I'm not counting on that. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff we get. Also, the prompts are just prompts... and do not need to be present verbatim in your entries, although they SHOULD be recognizable.
If you submit a piece
based on one of our SPAM prompts, your work could not only be published
in our SPAM section, but your name will go into a drawing where one
lucky person each month will randomly** be crowned the King or Queen of the Land
of SPAM, and will receive an edifice
wrecked journal from our Gift Shop. (Note: SPAM submissions are for the
website only, and will not be considered at this time for the print
version.)
