Tell us what you think of Random Notions. Tell us if we have a broken link. We hate spam as much as you do, so we promise to never sell, give away, trade, or otherwise share your address with anyone. Heck, we might not even reply to you! But maybe we will. What have you got to lose?

Our address is:

random at randomnotions dot com

Don't save this address. If we start to get spam, it will change. So always come back here for the current address.

We're pretty open and will accept almost anything so long as we like it, and so long as it's not obscene or illegal. It should be between 400 and 1000 words and must be original material that YOU wrote and for which YOU hold the copyright. By sending it to us, you grant us a non-exclusive license to include your work on the Random Notions site. But you still retain the copyright and the right to re-publish the work anywhere you like, and we'll remove the work from our site if you ask us to.

What do you get? Exposure! SEO's (search engine optimization companies) say that one of the best ways to get a higher ranking in the search engines like Google and Yahoo, and therefore to generate more traffic for your site, is to have plenty of quality inbound links. We'll include a banner ad you supply linked to your site. The banner ad must be 728 pixels wide and 90 pixels high, and be in either JPG, PNG, or GIF format. If you don't have a banner, we'll give you a text link instead. You can also include graphics. Again, make sure you own the rights to anything you send us. We reserve the right to edit your item before we post it

For an example, take a look at the Incursion story by Jonathan Mycroft. Of course, you don't have to provide an ongoing story; one-off items will do just fine. We'll take movie reviews, restaurant reviews, book reviews, fiction, poetry, technical notes, and general ranting and raving.
