Horoscopes – and a Contest!
Do you like free fortune tellings? Do you like free bumper stickers? If you answered YES to these and other questions, then, boy, have we got a deal for you!
To celebrate the almost-anniversary of our twenty-somethingth anniversary, we are prepared to give away three (that’s 3!) free bumper stickers! All you have to do is submit a horoscope for a future FLYING NEWS post, and we’ll enter your name into a drawing to receive a free Flying News bumper sticker! And even if you don’t win the bumper sticker, we’ll post your horoscope for all the world to see!* What could be better?
*(All reasonably clever horoscopes will be posted, at our discretion, but the 3 winners will be drawn at random by our staff or an innocent passerby.)
*Contest Notes/Rules:
To enter, type your horoscope into the comment box below or submit via our Contact page (put “Horoscope Contest” in the subject line).
You may enter one or several horoscopes, as many as you like. (For example, a horoscope for Aries = 1. Aries and Taurus = 2.) If you compose a related series, all the better. But each person can only win one bumper sticker.
You need not use one of the official astrological signs. You may change the name for effect, or just because you feel like it. We may also change the name for publication, if appropriate.
Horoscope(s) should be funny/clever/weird/absurd, according to Proper Flying News Style.
Please refrain from excessive vulgarity. We have to maintain our standards of high-brow humour, otherwise the censors will kick in.
Horoscopes need not come true.
Extra-terrestrials may submit horoscopes, but may not win a prize, due to shipping costs.
We will naturally need your real email address and real name, and your mailing address if you win. However, we do not plan to save or use your personal information after mailing your prize, so don’t worry about us putting you on any marketing lists. The marketers aren’t dumb enough to pay us for information anyway.
Ok, you get the point.
And yes, there is a deadline! The deadline is:
