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.
Yeah, I’m disappointed this week. Cute topic and I churned out like twenty tweets. They picked 3. And not even my best ones. There were a ton of duplicate entries, and I guess many of them canceled each other out. And then there’s the fact that WH put all their tweets as the “winners,” leaving less room for us freelancers. There are some pretty clever gags here, so check it out!
