The Inkhaven Fair: Publish or Perish
Blogging! Science! Torture!
For the month of April, 55 writers have been trapped in a walled, surveilled compound. Their food and sleep have been made conditional on one thing: blogging. They've produced more than 800 blog posts and 800,000 words, and it will not stop. It cannot stop. They will not be released.
But at the Inkhaven Fair, you can come and meet them. There will be experiments, contests, readings, food, ceremonies, and acts of public judgment. Glory will be bestowed upon those who wrote works of genuine insight or excellence. Those who produced slop will be shamed accordingly.
A selection of the activities and events that day:
Comment Section Reënactment Society: Shakespearean actors perform the comment wars from selected posts.
Relay Race Writing (aka 'Speedhaven'): Residents take turns writing the next 100 words of a blogpost, each post written in under 15 minutes. Audience judges which team's is the better post, and the winners are allowed to eat dinner.
The Readers’ Blessing: If you have published a blogpost today, the audience applauds you while you are Baptized.
Public Execution of a Resident Who Failed To Publish
If you wish to see Inkhaven for yourself, come to the Inkhaven Fair on April 25.
