we’re in contact with the winners as we speak, coordinating the transfer of vast amounts of loot. here’s a press release written by fellow squid editor D.CHANG:<\/p>\n

EVERYBODY ELSE IS A BIG FAT LOSER<\/p>\n

Space Squid held its first-ever writing contest, and it was a doozy, with the grand prize winner walking away with a brand new Nintendo Wii and a copy of the new Mushroom Men videogame (mushroommen.com) from Gamecock Media. We’ve published the big winner in this issue, and you can read the others at www.spacesquid.com\/contest.<\/a> Many thanks to everyone who entered – we had a hellish time picking these from the stories we received, and even more trouble picking the grand prize winner.<\/p>\n

\nThe winners are:
\n"The Legend of Shiitake" by Christopher J. Oatis (grand prize)
\n"The Reply of Margarita Amanita" by Aaron DaMommio
\n"Roger Works, Man" by Andrew Godsey
\n"The Fleet Bolete" by F.W. Choi
\n"Tales From the Suburbs" by Justin Gordon
\n"Fun Guy" by Derek J. Goodman<\/p>\n

The Mensa members among you may have noticed that there’s a fungal theme going on in this issue. The contest, the color cover, the cool mushroom dude on the cover… it’s all thanks to the generosity of Gamecock and the unvarnished greed of your faithful editors. (Paper is pricey. Think about it the next time you’re wiping your butt.)<\/p>\n

Seriously, the Mushroom Men games look stylish and (shock!) original. Check ’em out. We’d also like to give props to RevolutionSF.com, our publicity partners, and Red Fly Studio (redflystudio.com), the Mushroom Men developers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
