Oddcon's writing contest for flash fiction or poetry has been extended to 1/31. New writers, good prizes, queer friendly -

And for G/L upper Midwestern poets, Raymond Luczak's new poetry imprint - http://www.squaresandrebels.com/
Congrats to Jean Marie Ward, who won the 2012 Lesbian Fiction Appreciation Event drawing for a copy of "A Day at the Inn, A Night at the Palace and Other Stories"! :-)
The random drawing process in this case involved me writing
names of blog post commentators on folded pieces of paper and placing them in a Tupperware container, which was then shaken. Jana, who was not wearing glasses at the time, stuck her hand in and pulled out Jean Marie's name. :-)
I also just posted "Hellebore and Rue" as an auction item for the annual Con or Bust Auction. I'll post a link closer to the bid open date.
