Collin Piprell, wordsmithunderwater story of the month

Every month or so I’d like to post a new marine natural history story. I can supply quite a few myself, but I’m also inviting stories from visitors. If I like them, I’ll put them up and hold my own back till there’s need.

If you’re afraid your writing isn’t polished enough for public exposure, I can edit the copy. If you’ve got interesting photos, you could simply send scans along with field notes -- your best guess at what you’ve got plus information about where and under what circumstances you got the photo(s).

Your stories shouldn’t be longer than 2,000 words, generally speaking, and 1,000-1,500 words is probably better. The field notes can be as short as you like.

Please tell me whether I can archive your contribution, or whether you want it taken down after a month.

My first story is "Crustacean Delirium Tremens".
