Welcome to all of you with enthusiasm for the literary, the musical and the artistic. We have stories, we have poems, we have pictures, we have music reviews, and with your help, we're constantly adding more.

The site is regularly updated with new material, let the editor introduce the latest edition:

 

May 12^th

Back again... a little behind schedule as usual, but still mopping!

It's mainly stories this time, so to maintain our reputation for variety I'll start with a poem! Andy Bate is a regular contributor and touches on many subjects; this time including prison, booze and the environment.

 

Right. On to the stories. First up is Wayne H.W Wolfson. He has been mesmerised by the beauty of a woman just known as "Delphine".

 

Martin Green's turn again now, and Jack Hastings is about to discover that sometimes it isn't worth hiding your light under a bushel. The story is called "Just an Average Guy".

 

G David Schwartz has got it bad and wants to make it absolutely clear that he really loves Gena Davis. Yes he does. Really!

 

Now comes regular 'moppist Martin Friel. He's been contempalting those innocent days of youth. Why is everything so serious these days?

 

Last, but definitely not least, is a story from John Atkins, our recently departed contributor. Thanks to daughter Jo we have a treasure-trove of his work to draw on. This time it's a story called Marriage A La Garage, sometimes those car-repairs seem to take a lifetime...

 

All good stuff, I hope you'll agree, but what with the popularity of blogs and Twitter, traditional sites like this seem to be suffering a bit of a down-turn. Why send us a piece when you can put it on your blog? I'll tell you why, to bring people in to your blogosphere, that's why! We are always happy to place a link at the end of your contribution, and if people like what they read here, they will want to read more.

The e-mail link is at the bottom of the page.

TTFN!

Ed.

A Nest of Anarchists by JBP

Winamop was conceived on a whim, is run on a shoestring, ignored by the many, loved by the few and has continued unabashed since 2003.

All human life is here, experienced people, skilled writers and rank amateurs, sometimes they hit the mark, sometimes they belly-flop (sometimes they mix their metaphors). You pick up the pieces and make of them what you will. Find out about us here and about the site here.

We hope to continue to maintain a showcase for new writing which will grow as you, dear readers, augment the efforts of the in-house team. We have well over 250 unique pages so far but, quite frankly, we need more...

Have a good look around and if you feel that you'd like to contribute in any genre, then don't be shy, send it in! The copyright remains yours, and you could win a mop (yes, a real one!).
The mail button is below.
