Will you marry me? Thank you for your submission. The delinquent is pleased to announce that we will be printing ‘War, what is it good for? (A Gen-kill poem)’ and ‘George Clooney can do anything’ in issue 19.

We have specially ‘borrowed’ this plane to contact you because, although we are unable to pay contributors, or even provide them with a free copy, we honestly believe that, where your writing is concerned – THE SKY IS THE LIMIT!!”
