The (third) "Worst Storyline Ever" Contest is now closed. Thank you to all who entered. I got a few e-mails saying that blog comment functionality was iffy. This caught me by surprise. Tell you what. I will accept entries via email to literaryagent@fwmedia.com through the end of today, Monday, March 29, 2010. If you had comment trouble, submit this way. Same rules apply, so read everything first.
