Weekly Project Update

By |

Coming up this week: Objects No. 95 through 100 — 0ur final batch of stories! Including the winner of our Six-Word Contest with SmithMag.net, plus Jonathan Lethem, and more. Your last chance to acquire one of the Original 100 Significant Objects! Check the store now for current auctions if you can’t wait.

And will S.O. live on in some new form after the first 100 Objects are gone? Well, maybe. Perhaps we’ll have something to say (or to ask you) about that this week, too.

Recent reactions from elsewhere: Box Vox has a great post about the Jar of Marbles + Ben Ehrenreich story, here. P2pnet cites us evidence that fans do want to pay to support their favorite artists and writers, here. Shout-out from The Missouri Review, here. Fahreunblog weighs in here, sparking lots of comments, but it’s all in Italian so I have no idea what anybody says. Did we miss your take? Please let us know in the comments.

Keep up & participate:

  • Get a Significant Object story by email every weekday, here.
  • Follow on Twitter: @SignificObs.
  • Significant Objects Facebook Page. C’mon. Be a fan.

Remember: If you like the project, support these authors by making bids, commenting on the stories, telling friends and fans and followers and strangers and media contacts, or all of the above. Thanks, and enjoy the stories …
