Creative Loafing’s eighth annual Fiction Contest party was — we must admit — a literary hit. Thank you to everyone who came out to Eyedrum last week — whether it was for the readings from the winning authors, the book sale, the sweet treats from Highland Bakery, the great tunes from Night Moves Gold, or simply the PBR.
Check out photos from the party.

We popped the question for the eighth annual Fiction Contest and you responded with a resounding “Yes!” through stories about soda pop, popping pills, mom and pop, pop music, and Snap, Crackle and Pop, just to name a few. Our three winners were anonymously chosen by Creative Loafing’s editorial staff and three independent judges from a pool of more than 200 entries. Read the winning entries here.
We decided to make things even more interesting this year with a pop culture trivia contest. Check out the paper’s front cover. Senior Art Director Jason Hatcher carefully selected eight images that tie into the theme, two of which have double meanings. The first to name the eight main hidden messages wins a CL gift pack. The first to figure out all 10 wins a little something extra.
Send guesses to debbie.michaud@creativeloafing.com by 5 p.m. on Tues., Jan. 13.

So, submit a manuscript of no more than 3,000 words either as a hard copy to our offices or online. All works of fiction must in some way incorporate the word “pop” — as a theme, a metaphor, whatever. You can use the word as any way you like; just use it well. Originality is encouraged, and the word count is enforced.
