Re: The Idiom - monthly online contest & publication for Short Story Writers

Coming into a group of
(mostly) serious writers and asking us to give you stories that we've
put significant time and effort into for nothing more than the exposure
of an unknown website is rather like walking up to an established
musician as he walks off-stage from a big concert and telling him you'd
like him to play for free at your four-year-old's birthday party, and
since all your kid's friends will be there to hear him the exposure will
help his career...

And, given Brenda's devastating copy criticism upthread, it's like
delivering that request in baby-talk.
