VOTE FOR CYN KITCHEN!
VOTE FOR CYN KITCHEN!
So, does anyone actually read all the stories and then pick the one they like best and vote for it? I mean we all just vote for our friends, right?
Not that there’s anything wrong with that, I guess, but is it a weird way to award $500?
(also, you should vote for my friend Roderick, whose story was on Eyeshot. It involves auto-fellatio!)

Vote for Roderic Crooks and Eyeshot to beat out Stuckey-French and Narrative/
Eyeshot = old school, free, freak-form posters of Jimmy Chen, Blake Butler, a hundred others.
Narrative = establishmentarian money grubbers, subscription-required posters of Richard Freakin’ Bausch.

I voted for Bell’s story in Agni and I have no idea who he is and may never. But I really really really loved that story.
