Hi, friends -

We’re two-thirds of the way through the month, which can only mean one thing… voting time!

Today’s newsletter’s short and sweet. I’ll…

💌 rehash how voting works for all you sweet new faces,

💌 give y’all the chance to join the club,

💌 and share the poll to vote on the required action and word for our monthly micro fiction, choose June’s mail topic, AND suggest future themes!

Barcelona, 2021, 35 mm (is there anything better than film?)

🗳 How it works

For those of you who’ve never been to voting time, welcome!

Each month, paid subscribers and my precious Patreon crew vote on the upcoming microfiction’s required word and action, plus the following month’s historical mail topic.

I will then write a story short enough to fit on a postcard using your prompts and based on this month’s historical mail. Voting closes on the 27th, giving me just three days to draft some fiction for ya and post it on the 30th!

Once my story’s posted, it’s your turn. Write your own microfiction according to the prompts, then post it in the comments, email it to me, or tie it to a pigeon’s ankle and hope for the best.

Paid subscribers also get annual/quarterly/monthly postcard art snail mailed to them, my annual zine of polished microfiction, and get dibs on buying original artwork this month before I release it to anyone else.

A postcard I sent in 2022 - watercolor and a vintage stamp on a single-line drawing.
