Comments: "we are seeking spurious sequels to works of literature or nonfiction, complete with a one-line description, e,g,: S. Grant: Stately, plump Buck Mulligan is elected president of the United States. Charlotte’s Website: www.SomePig.com :) Regurgitates, Reloads, and Remains: A slightly edgier grammar manual. Conversely, if you hold to the notion that every great tale has its antecedent, and every indelible fictional character has his or her predecessor, you may also submit preposterous prequels..."

Contact: Please send entries (no more than three per person, please!) with indications as to whether they are spurious sequels or preposterous prequels to fiction@chronogram.com or Humor Contest, Chronogram, 314 Wall Street, Kingston, NY 12401.

Publication Date: See notice.


Comments: "No topic is off-limits. We look for personal stories that are in some way emotionally compelling - stories that make us gasp, giggle, cry, or cheer. Stories that do this can range from the subtle to the sensational, but tend to work better when describing a single event, rooted in a time and place, as opposed to a decades-long memoir. We always look for a hook toward the top of the story that hints at the outcome and holds suspense, compelling us to read more."
