Weekly Humorist, a humor magazine I often submit to and occasionally get in, runs these Hashtag Games on Twitter (X), where they name a topic and we submit humorous responses. These games play right into my gag reflex, so I always throw up something. I've taken to setting my calendar to get online every Wednesday to "play" (and by "play" I mean submit content to their website for free--I like to think of it as pun bono work). I always submit a bunch of them on X (Twitter) and some of them get selected for inclusion to their online site.
This was one of those weeks where it started off slow, but then I hit a stride. I wound up positing 20 items. I would do a couple, then back away, then suddenly a couple more ideas occurred to me, so I'd jump back in. It's another week where most of the "featured" items were generated by WH. I'm trying to be a little more generous and retweet posts I like and there were a few, but not ones that make the website. I got 8 in this week, but oddly not the one that got the most likes online, so that's weird. There were a lot of duplicate posts and you can tell people don't look at what's already posted before they jump in (not that it's a guarantee that you won't post something that's already been posted).
So, check out the WK page, or mosey on over to Twitter and check out the hashtag there...
