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.
I always hesitate when this kind of topic is offered, titillate. I'm a prude. I don't like working blue. And when people dive into this opening, it always feels kind of crass. But, in for a penny, in for a pound. I try to go for clever over crude, the double entendre or pun on the title, not that I always succeed. I managed to grind out 15 or so and 10 got picked, so I guess that's a victory. WH posted it over that their (ad-heavy) site, so check it out! Meanwhile, I have to start submitting some legitimate articles to them again.
