I am pleased to announce that this week’s unanimous winner of Post of the Week is our very first winner of Post of the Week, way back, 41 weeks ago. That numbering system is so handy.

The Overnight Editor: There’s a Time Machine on Kingley Street

“Ow. Next morning - afternoon, whatever, they’ve been fucking about with the clocks this weekend - proper fucking headache, like a jubilee clip tightening round my skull.

This post was nominated by Peach.

Our judges said-

“sheer bizarre lunacy and captivating writing”

“A wonderfully imaginative and pleasingly perverse novella in miniature.”

This week’s shortlister was SwissToni. Judging duties were assumed by mike and Timbo with me, asta, serving as head judge.

Fancy a turn in the judge’s robes? We’d love the company. Let us know if you’d like to join us as a regular or guest judge.

Congratulations to the winner and all the nominees.
A new week begins.

    Well deserved: a *beautiful* piece of writing.


  3. An Unreliable Witness

    Thank Jiminy (no, me neither) for that, then. My frail and elderly relatives can sleep soundly in their beds tonight. Ahem. Sorry.

    Well written. Crazy. Captivating. Read it twice.
