If you’re battered and bruised, wet and tired, you can’t find a seat out of the rain and your newspaper has disintegrated in your hands, well…stop by here.
News, opinion and more fanciful stuff, with a bit of a Hastings bent. If Hastings doesn’t sound familiar that’s because you don’t live in East Sussex, but that’s alright.
Get out of the storm for a while.
If you want to send some of your writing (or pics or whatever) our way, please do. Send to hello@soakedandwinded.com. Also we’ll be doing this kind of shout out on the social media mostly, but if you want us to look into something for you (e.g. a news topic, a person worth biographising etc) you’re welcome to ask for that too. Can’t promise a response but you never know.
The Team
At the moment it’s just me – Merlin Pendragon Betts – on the organisational side. Yep, real name. Dad was a pagan and lawyer called Albion, had an army of dragons.
I’m an anarchist, and have been for a decent slice of time now. Best thing I ever noticed about the world (the anarchy, not the fact I’ve been subscribed to it).
I’m also a poet, an increasingly cynical romantic, and either a witch or wizard depending on how close we are to a bedroom.
I used to be Arts Editor at HIP, for quite a while I think, and maybe more should be said about that, but maybe not.
I’m trying to get on with a science degree. We’ll see how that goes.
