Did you find a weird news article that would be perfect for This is True? Here's how to get it seen.

Since True's launch in 1994, Randy has appreciated hearing about good stories from readers, especially local stories from tiny newspapers that wouldn't normally otherwise be found.

But sending a link to Randy means he sees it -- and no one else does unless he writes it up for the newsletter. When he sees over 100 stories per week and uses 7-9/week in True, obviously most "go to waste". Wouldn't it be cool if people could see everything in Randy's "queue"?

The Best Alternative: Groxx

Ideally, don't send the URL to Randy, but instead to post it on Randy's "Weird News" story sharing site, Groxx (a play on "It Rocks!" and "I Grok"). It's a membership site (registration is required) -- but membership is free.

We hope you'll join us on Groxx -- the Weird News Sharing site, and will use that as the "submission queue" to ensure Randy sees the story you have in mind.

But If You Really Don't Want to Use Groxx...

If you really don't want to register for free on Groxx, or if for any reason it's not appropriate to post a story there, you can e-mail the URL (not a scan or e-mailed HTML page, please!) of recent articles from legitimate, mainstream news sites to Randy.

Foreign News Especially Appreciated!

Foreign (outside the U.S.) news items are particularly appreciated. Randy virtually always has a shortage of non-U.S. stories, in part because of his requirement that the story be in English. Sorry, but he cannot take reader translations: such stories cannot be verified. They must be published in English on a "mainstream, legitimate" news site. Thanks for your understanding.

We appreciate your submission of great stories.
