Attention noir writers, Hardluck Stories, the online magazine dedicated to hardboiled crime fiction has sent out the call for its "Truthiness" issue dedicated to the Colbert Report.
Editor Dave Zeltserman posts:
"What I'm looking for are the same typically brilliant noir stories that Hardluck routinely publishes, but stories that are somehow inspired by the Colbert Report show, possibly even by the concept of 'truthiness'.
"These could be stories featuring a Colbert-type character or inspired by an episode of Colbert Report or capture the essence of what Colbert is doing or whatever else your imagination can concoct as long as Colbert, his show or 'truthiness' is a key element of the story. What I'm not looking for is fanfic." (Ed. - Emphasis ours. Sorry, fan fiction scribes)
There are a million stories in the Naked City. Make sure your submission gets to Hardluck's big boss before the August 1 deadline.
I could not believe the Minstrel show
you aired " Roast of Flavor Flav".
Flavor Flav is a bafoonish clown and a
disgrace. I watched in disbelief as he
bucked and rolled his eyes,and grinned
while wearing a big clock around his neck.
It was Spike Lee's "Bamboozled" true in
real life. SHAME ON COMEDY CENTRAL!

LOL, I think I may have detected a smidge of snark there.
Hey, buddy, we prefer to be called "fanfictioniliacs" or "Fanfictionfrican Americans" or "losers."
