I remember the weirdest
place I got fiction published was a Christian Ladies' Magazine. It was a relatively gentle story, about an old woman scared of the progressing world waiting for her baby to come back from an outing with a young man. Like an O'Henry story, it ends with a twist.
The weirdest
story I ever wrote was a surreal tale of aliens and their world called "Slurpglop", in Aboriginal Science Fiction.
In journalism I remember doing all the caves of Virginia over three days for Richmond magazine. We didn't have an expense account, but we didn't spend a thing on lodging or food and drink, the owners and keepers of the caves were great guests.
One truly weird tear-sheet we got in the mail was all in Japanese, and I didn't know what the hell that was about until I spotted ournames in the byline and realized it was a Japanese Bluegrass magazine we'd resold the Jerry Garcia Banjo piece to...
Those are off the top of my head...
