We’re hungry for more writing from Rumpus readers, so we’re now accepting submissions for another “Rumpus Readers Report.”
This time we want you to tackle the theme “Broken Promises.” If you’re like us, you might already be able to report back from a broken New Year’s resolution. But any Broken Promise story is welcome.
Please send your submissions, maximum 400 words, to Susan Clements, silentjoy2001 AT yahoo.com. We’ll choose the best ones to run as a feature on the site.
All submissions are due by midnight on Thursday, February 7th.

Are (partially) fictional submissions accepted for this? Thanks.
Hi David. Yes. Submit away!
Hi, Can you clarify the deadline? Is it 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, 2/6 or 12:00midnight on Thursday, 2/7? Thanks much!
That was a very silly looking question (the options being a whole minute apart and all…) Rather, is the deadline 12midnight on Wednesday 2/6, or 12midnight on Thursday, 2/7? Thanks!
12pm midnight on Thursday, February 7. (We had the date wrong. Thanks for the heads up.)
