Slight Delays: !Short Story Contest!
Dear Lovers of Literature —
This year cannot do without the tank-busting, drone-downing, zeitgeist-feeding, nuclear-powered literature of throwing out windows of the !Short Story Contest! on Defenestrationism.net .
Yet, both members of our editorial staff — only midway through reading all the glorious submissions — have met with personal stumbling blocks. Don’t you worry about us, and don’t you worry about the contest, either. We just need another month.
Finalists will be announced in July. If this means a submission needs to be withdrawn, simply let us know at pnrenterprizes@gmail.com
It will also mean we might publish fewer than eight finalists, but we still plan Fan Voting for the last two weeks of August, with winners still announced Labor Day, September 1st.
Since 2012, we have held these annual contests. Of all years, we will not miss this one.
Sincerely,
And without fail,
Your editors at Defenestrationism.net
