Don’t forget that the first ever sorryisaidthat.biz competition is still running and you can win an actual physical prize worth upwards of £10 (or an electronic equivalent).

Don’t worry too much about why this is happening. The short version is that there is a piece of incest erotic fiction entitled “How my little brother learned to be a whore”. (Some scholars attribute it to Johann Hari.)

Your task is to read it and determine in which US state (or other territory, or country) you think it’s set. Email me (ben at sorryisaidthat.biz) or Instagram message sorryisaidthosethings explaining your full reasoning to enter.

Entries will be scored both on how convincing they are and how much they entertain me. So far there is only one entry, so there is everything to play for. I am extending the deadline for this until the end of the day Thursday 10th February.

Remember, you can read the full incest story at https://www.nifty.org/nifty/gay/incest/little-brother-learned-to-be-a-whore

Gentleman of leisure

I am not starting a new full-time job for a couple of weeks. If you need any paid freelance writing or editing done, let me know.

If you run a comedy night and you’re looking to fill drop-out slots, I haven’t got much on the next couple of weeks, so hit me up.
