“Two and a Half Weeks” is a 2015 Readers’ Choice Awards finalist.
“Two and a Half Weeks,” a humorous short story by local author Tim W. Jackson, has been nominated in the Big Al’s Books and Pals 2015 Readers’ Choice Awards short story category.
Big Al’s Books and Pals is an independent online review site focusing on work produced by small and independent presses. Contest winners in 14 categories are determined by reader votes and will each receive a digital slap on the back and a PDF sticker to Photoshop onto their book’s cover.
“It feels slimy as hell, but, I’m asking you, the Blacktip Times readers, to go to Big Al’s website and vote for my story before March 28,” Jackson said. “And if it doesn’t make you feel slimy, it’d be great if you got your friends to vote, too. And your families. And any unusually-dexterous pets you might have. Or know about.”
If the story wins, Jackson has promised to dance the quadrille in a giant banana costume and post video on the Blacktip Times Online.
“No one wants to see it, but if that’s what it takes, I’m not above extortion,” Jackson said.
Contest voting runs March 14 – 28 at: Big Al’s Books and Pals Readers’ Choice Awards.
Originally published in The MacGuffin literary journal, “Two and a Half Weeks” is part of Jackson’s Tales From Blacktip Island short story collection.
