Inferior Ink

begin shameless plug/

I'm sure you've noticed a new category there on my sidebar, right? And the new link under it? Of course you have! You're not only brilliant, you're observant!

For the rest of you, look under Where You'll Find Me Now and you'll see it. Inferior Ink. Yes, there isn't much there yet. I know. We've only just started it.

What is Inferior Ink? Well, we're hoping to bring you outrageously bad writing-- and maybe some bad poetry-- in the spirit of The Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest. The wonderfully bad writing there has inspired us.

We will be posting a "theme" for the writing in the beginning of the week and will be posting our bits of bad writing sometime during the week. ("Theme" day: Sunday. "Bad writing" day: deadline of Saturday.) We also hope you'll honor us with your tidbits of fantastically wretched writing. You can post them either in the comments or via the email link on the site. J and I will each pick our favorite bad writing out of the submissions-- if there are any-- and post them along with our own submissions. Yes, this means you will get a link back and you can show all of your friends and family how truly awful your writing can be. It will be a proud day for all.

So far, J and I are the only main contributors. Don't despair as we will be adding more in the future. We hope to make this a fun project for all.
