Welcome to Airy Tales!
This is not what it was supposed to be. Airy Tales, it turns out, has its own tale to tell. It’s rather long. Once upon a time…
Carnatic’s “Prose That Blows 500″ short story contest is underway! Entries are being taken for just one week. The full guidelines are here, in Carnatic’s post on bodyinflation.org:
And the actual mechanics of how to enter are a little later in the thread. It’s fun, we’re doing it anonymously so everybody’s story can stand on its own. Exactly how to do that:
You only have until June 30, so get to enterin’! This is a great idea and I’m proud to support Carnatic’s initiative.
Spotted a few questions about Cyndi Irresisitible lately — namely “Where is she and is she still doing inflatable voice work?”
She’s fine, and she is still doing voice work, but on a professional local level, and she’s not currently taking inflatable commissions. However, she’s promised to lend her talents to a portion of Airy Tales, whenever that gets off the ground. AOL deleted all the user webpages last year without warning, including her site and my site, so her samples have been offline for several months. A thread at Expansion Mansion caught my eye, but the link they offered no longer works, so I figured I could post them on Airy Tales.
Just a note to promote the Prose That Blows story contest, which challenges all willing writers to create a complete and compelling inflation story using 500 words or less. I think it’s a great idea; it ignited some sparks for me, and I wound up writing more than one story. Now I’m trying to figure out which one to submit. The other one will be posted anyway, just not part of the contest.
