When something new comes along, people want to assess it about as fast as a Number Muncher crunches a number. As fast as Pac-Man eats a power pellet. We will not digress.

OBSERVE as The Tangential gives itself a flash interview:

DO YOU REALIZE YOUR NAME SOUNDS LIKE TAN GENITALS?
Yes, and we are OK with that. We welcome that mistake.

WHAT IS THE TANGENTIAL?
A creative writing blog based in Minneapolis, with the assignment “Write whatever you want, just try not to be boring. Try not to suck.”

WHY IS THE TANGENTIAL?
We want to create a centralized, well-designed site for creative writing in Minneapolis. A place for potty mouths, oversharing, secular fear of the apocalypse, criticism of constant social media misuse and more.

WHO IS THE TANGENTIAL?
The Tangential was started by Becky Lang, Katie Sisneros and Jay Gabler. We are currently roping in writers, like Sarah and Chrissy of Philolzophy and Jason Zabel.

WHEN IS THE TANGENTIAL?
We will try to update about 3 times a day. If we don’t it’s cuz we’re getting paid and/or getting laid.

CAN I WRITE FOR THE TANGENTIAL?
Maybe. Send us an email: editors@thetangential.com

I WANT TO EGG YOUR HOUSE.
We were on the debate/speech team in high school. We can handle it.

Thank you for reading.
