The results of this year's $5 Innovative Fiction Contest from DIAGRAM just got posted. I was one of 7 finalists who were then passed to Kelly Link. This year's winner is FC2 author DEBRA DiBLASI's "Quell the Mayhem Night."
The other finalists were:
* "And What of Boys? What Land Do They People?" by Elisabeth Benjamin
* "Four Secrets and Three Lies I Have to Tell About Love." by Kea Wilson
* "Girls Who Love Horses" by Amanda Goldblatt
* "The Many Forms of Rain ___ Sent Upon Us In Those Days Before the Last Days" by Blake Butler
* "Snow" by Mark Leidner
* "There Will Be Sense" by Amelia Gray (yay Amelia)
They will all be in the next all-fiction issue, which last year totally crushed my head, so I'm happy to be a part, and to have been read by Ms. Link. That story is also in SCORCH ATLAS.
Concurrently, I am now running parked content ads at 4 of my new URLs. When people click on the ads on these sites, I get moneys.
LINDSAYLOHANSTITS.INFO
GOOGLEINFO.INFO
SEEKMELIVE.INFO
MYGOOGLEME.INFO
DEADWINTER.COM (This is a URL I've had for almost 10 years, and I found out its estimated value is $800 due to the traffic and web rankings it now has. Auction time.)

i don't think i will.
thank ryan. i hope your chapbook wins.
yes, i hope to see ryan downey as a chapbook finalist. i still love ryan downey for the google song.
i had no idea one could do such things. how do i get started?
congrats on the diagram.
peter,
you can read tons of crap about it at
dnforum.com
sedo.com does parking, you usually need to have some amount of traffic coming in for it to work at all supposedly, unless your domain is really good. so you make a basic page with some minor content.
you should hold onto deadwinter. it'll be worth more as your fame grows or some idiot game company will come out with something called deadwinter and they'll buy it off of you.
thank you josh.
dead winter does sound like a likely candidate for a video game title.
it will be an rpg or maybe a shooter.
it will either be semi-western u.s. setting or future biometrical fascist fuck japan/u.s. hybrid.
congrats blake.
yeah i am surprised it hasnt happened yet actually.
thank you darby
