The Hour Draws Near: Announcing Broadside Contest Deadlines
Posted by Qais Fulton
The end is extremely fucking nigh, intrepid Ectonauts. Nearly a month ago we enlisted your assistance in the indoctrination of your peers and the opportunity to show off your glistening right brain with the announcement of Ectomo’s Broadside distribution and Octobee coloring contest. Everyone promptly forgot about the contest and I began construction on a papier-mache rocket ship to get us off this stinking mudball and start a tentacle based sex cult on Mars. Imagine our disappointment at the discovery that papier-mache doesn’t stand up to space flight quite as well as we’d all hoped; it turns out we’re Earth bound for the time being.
Yet our crushing disappointment at another missed opportunity to wear a spacesuit 24/7 means glittering prizes for you and yours! Monday January 28th we will announce the winner of Ectomo’s Octobee coloring and Broadside distribution contest. You still have a week to color an Octobee and cover your city with Broadsides via crop duster so set your hands to scribblin’. Send us all your completed Octobees and proof of B-side distribution and we’ll announce a winner next week. Check out the glorious works of your punctual comrades at the EctoFlickr. Good luck!
Octobee [Thanks, Shin Rhys!]

FUCKING !$#@!!!!
I completely forgot about the broadsides. After having finished the ocular rape of my hometown I simply tossed aside my extras in a walmart bathroom. But since then I have moved to a small college in a historical town overflowing with weak wills in our key demographic.

Don’t give up so fast on your papier-mache rocket. Someone’s already working on an origami escape-pod for you:

Help us, Qais; you’re our only hope.

“Fuck you Qais. In the ear.”
Pretty long queue for the ear fucking my friend. Take a number or pick another questionably suitable orifice.

[…] The excellent online chronicle of oddities known as Ectoplasmosis (M. John Brownlee and Mle. Eliza Gauger, proprietors) isn’t just online anymore. The masterminds behind Ectomo have collected some of their work into an old-fashioned broadside, to be printed and distributed by their adoring public. I passed around several copies today, and left a few more in places where people normally expect to find something to read. Ectomo is running a contest for the most creative broadside delivery scheme and the best coloring of the octobee logo through Monday, Jan 28. If you like contests, coloring or Cthulu, you should get while the getting’s good. […]
