Calling the fanfic writers...

There's a contest out you need to know about.

It starts with a picture. I would show it to you, but man, I just can't bear to put people through looking at it unnecessarily. Not that it's not well-done, because Jeff Zugale is an awesome artist. It's just... well... it's Wil Wheaton, clad in the infamous clown sweater, riding a unicorn pegasus kitten, about to skewer axe-weilding John ScalziOrc on a spear. Really. Would I shit you about something of that magnitude?

Here, look at it on Scalzi's blog, if you don't believe me.. This link also gives you ALL the details on the contest.

Now that a portion of your sanity has been irrevecobly ripped away, you should know about the contest. It's pretty simple: 400 - 2000 words describing the picture, emailed (in the body, no attachments) to fanfic@scalzi.com by 11:59pm Eastern, June 30, 2010. One per person. The winning entry gets paid $.10/word AND gets published in a e-chapbook containing stories by Scalzi, Wheaton, Catherynne Valente and Patrick Rothfuss put out by Subterranean Press. Proceeds from sales of the chapbook benefit the Lupus Alliance of America.

Sounds worth it to me. As soon as my eyes stop bleeding, I'll get right to work on that.
