Via Facebook

Featuring NICK MARLAND, ALEX LEE, PATRICK LENTON, TWO SECRET OTHERS, and YOU.

This coming Saturday you will hear tales of haunted iPod shuffles, encounter selections from the Encyclopedia of Notable Persons Never Born Due to Contraception, see something performancy, and hear something poetical. It will be the last PPR in Sydney until OCTOBER so make sure you come and plug in your short fiction batteries to tide you over for the spring.

We will also have a warm alcoholic beverage for you to dip your mugs in. So please remember to bring mugs, for dipping.

AND NOW FOR A SEARINGLY IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT WILDCARDS:

In the past, Wildcards have been asked to read five minute fiction. As it turns out, five minutes is an elastic thing that stretches in all sorts of directions. What five minutes feels like to some people, is actually more like twenty minutes to everyone else. This time-slippage prompted a small uprising on the facebook group page last month. So, what we're going to do from now on is ask that wildcards read whatever they want, as long as it fits on ONE SIDE OF ONE A4 PAGE. If you interpret that to mean size 4 font on one side of one A4 page, you may go blind, and never read again, so it may not be the best way to deal with the situation. The BEST way to deal with the situation is to just write a killer 500 words that knock everyone's socks off and have us salivating for more.

BUT PLEASE DON"T LET THIS NEW TIME-LIMIT FASCISM BE A DETERRENT! Wildcards are really important to PPR. Without them, it'd be a stately affair, with the same old recycled readers. And how boring would that be? So please do come and read.

See you on Saturday!
