I had one of these once 4.12.2010
If I go tomorrow, do I get a free Porsche? Or at least a fork made out of a hat?
Priscilla L. Kinter 4.12.2010
Help me help me! Here's me: Came to your table at AWP, bought two magazines and scammed a Literary Death Match button (complete with stick-man self portrait of button-making- and holding-down-the-table-man on the back) from the man just mentioned in the parentheses. He told me to come back to the table in ten minutes so that Etgar Keret could sign my Issue 7. (Is this sounding familiar?) I was still there when Etgar made it (and he signed my 7 and another issue he's not in because that seemed fitting) because I never actually left because a woman named Shavawn came up to the table and she and I talked and talked. I wanted to look for her on (stupid ol')Facebook, or Google her or something ('cause she was cool), but the last name I scrawled in my AWP is just a scrawl and thus unreadable. She seemed to know the man at the table. Did the man at the table know her? Who is Shavawn? Help! Thanks, Priscilla the well-intentioned-but-absentminded-or-something
It was a very long time ago 4.12.2010

Priscilla, I have seen that name spelled Siobhan and Chevonne...good luck in your search. You can also try posting in the craigslist missed connections section.
like hours and hours ago 4.14.2010
Yay everyone got a free Porsche! Todd was getting a little stingy with them as the night went on though, so as an FYI to those attending the remaining Death Matches, if he doesn't bring it up, feel free to go up to him and badger him about it until he gives you your free Porsche.

Jim Dixon, in Kingsley Amis's "Lucky Jim". Bitter, desperate, and incredibly hilarious.

Austin Wall 4.20.2010
Hi, I'm just checking on the status of my submission, "Said the Joker to the Thief," which I submitted on October 21, 2009. It's been six months, and I was just checking to make sure it had been received. Thanks.
Annonymous 4.26.2010
Hey bumble flea, and Lindsey. What happened to your sisters other kid and her black ex ole man? Don't pretend you don't know who!
K. A. Brennan 4.27.2010
To the wonderfully named Austin Wall: Don't count on it. Opium is a little, how shall I say, deficient on the acknowledgment and notification side of things.
Submitter 4.28.2010
Austin, There's a submission page on the web site where you can check the status of your submission. I sent them something last year, and within a couple weeks my status was "recommended for acceptance." I expected the official acceptance email any day. I waited for ten months, never got any kind of email, acceptance or rejection, and finally had to withdraw the piece. I had had a similar experience about a year earlier and probably should have known better. Anyway, good luck, dude. You'll need it.
Writer 4.28.2010
Austin, I've had the same experience with regard to my submission. I uploaded it via the impersonal submission form, and Opium haven't even had the decency to send out an automatic email acknowledgement. This doesn't exactly foster goodwill among writers towards Opium. I will be wait another week or two before withdrawing my submission and then register the lack of contact with Duotrope to warn other writers off submitting their work.
Todd Zuniga 4.29.2010
The days of us being very, very on top of submissions are behind us, and ahead of us. It's been a challenging time to keep all the many balls in the air. We'll improve, we swear it. Apologies for not being better, and for now, yes, let Duotrope know! It's only fair. Todd
