And the Winner Is... by Adrian Todd Zuniga estimated reading time 1:54

It's been almost a year and a half since we announced the fifteen finalists for Opium39's 7-Line Story Contest (judged by Amy Hempel). Why the delay? Myriad reasons, but the short answer: we were waiting to find the time. To put Opium39 together; for Literary Death Match to slow down (it sped up in a colossal way); for the money to roll in; etc.; etc. So, instead of a full issue that you could buy and hold and fall for again and again, we're releasing the contest winners in PDF form. For free! So, without further adieu: Congratulations to Adam Peterson and his story "Our Babies are Going to Get Married" — the winner of $1,000 and Opium39's Shya Scanlon 7-Line Story Contest! Click here to read the PDF, now (You will love it. It will blow your mind. I kid you not). And share it around and about, if you dig the stories. And congrats to the runners-up (runner-ups?), and winners of $100 each: 2nd Place: "The Sea that Drowned the Men" by Benjamin Busch 3rd Place: The House at the End of the World by Carmen Machado And a hearty congratulations to the other finalists, and to everyone who entered the contest. We've always been so appreciative of your support. Adrian Todd Zuniga is Opium's founding editor, president of Opium for the Arts, and creator of Literary Death Match. His fiction has appeared in print and online. He lives between LA and couches all over Europe.

I was doing some research, saw the broken link, and wanted to bring it to your attention. The bad link is titled "bookwire", and currently goes to http://www.bookwire.com/bookwire If you want to fix it you could probably just change it to go to their home page. While you are updating it, if you could help me spread the word about my print dictionary, that would be much appreciated.

My site has a lot of completely unique content I've either written myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any methods to help prevent content from being stolen?

I get the feeling she knows how to market herself and make connections in "the literary world" being a "literary publicist" and an intern nepot at every publisher in NY.
