This and That

Thanks to Brian Lindenmuth we have a link to a 100 word contest over at BoingBoing. The winner gets a $700 HP MediaSmart Ex 495. Just drop your hundred words with the theme "Found in Space" in the comments and cross your fingers. There's no closing date but they've already gathered over 900 stories when I checked. http://feeds.boingboing.net/~r/boingboing/iBag/~3/I85ftrZZHbY/100-word-fiction-com.html
