CONTEST
POSTER PENDING.
BUTTTTTT, keep your eyes peeled for advertisements of this semester's contest: A Dirty Limerick Contest. We ask our submitters to write a limerick (which means it's five lines in an aabba rhyme pattern) that is either physically or figuratively dirty.
Now, by dirty we don't mean, rinse-your-mouth-out-with-soap dirty, so keep your minds at least a little bit out of the gutter! Remember, the best dirty limericks are S-U-B-T-L-E!
Deadline: March 25
;) Submit to: theindependentscribe@gmail.com
Welcome to Spring Semester with the Scribe!
So, what's going on this semester with the magazine, you wonder? Well, we're beginning to review submissions and so far, man, they are awesome!
We're also running a contest this semester: The Dirty Limerick Contest! Send us your best limericks and remember, the best limericks are usually the most subtle.
Our deadline this semester is March 25, as is our fundraiser at Orange Leaf.
So, come and show your support for the Scribe by getting fro-yo March 25 between 4 and 9 pm!
This semester, we're going to release our insider interviews from members of the Scribe, so welcome, everyone, to the life of Kevin Gilbride:
Q. So, Kevin, let's start off with a fun fact about you?
A. I'll give you two. I enjoy comic books and have a fascination with North Korea.
Q. Interesting! Where would you say you "fit" within the Scribe?
A. Where do I fit within the Scribe? I AM the Scribe. Haha, Not really, but I am a member of the Editorial Board and have just become the Thursday Meeting Secretary of the group, which I like to sometimes call "The Legion of Doom".
Q. What about submissions, have you submitted anything to the magazine?
A. Not yet. Maybe I'll submit this semester.
Q. How and when did you first become involved with the Scribe?
A. I was brought in by our fearless leader, Kellie Knight, who insisted I join. I also thought that it would make me a better writer.
Q. What are you up to lately? Are you working on anything at the moment?
A. Yes but it's a secret. Like secret squirrel.
Q. Well, thank you for meeting with me Kevin, everyone will love to hear about you!
That's what's up with us lately! Stay tuned for more news about iScribe through this blog and our facebook!

WTF? The Independent Scribe's Spring 2012 Writing Contest! Deadline March 19th!
The Independent Scribe is currently accepting entrants into our
bi-annual writing contest, and the question on our minds this Spring is
"WTF?"
This semester, the editorial board decided to go about our normal routine and write down everything we individually overheard for a week that made us say, "What the F*!#?" We decided that we would use the resources of URI's creative community to help us figure out what one of our overheard lines of dialogue could possibly mean. The line we decided on was: "They're nice enough, I just can't bring them around anymore." If you think you can write a short story, poem, or anything else that includes this line in a way that makes sense, try it out and send us the results!
Some rules:
1. The line "They're nice enough, I just can't bring them around anymore" can be either dialogue or internal monologue.
2. The line must be included as written, but it does not have to be the first line, and cannot be the title of the piece.
3. All submissions must be emailed to theindependentscribe@gmail.com as a .doc or .docx attachment by March 19th, 2012.
4. All other regular submission guidelines apply.
Prize info TBA - looking forward to hearing from you!
