Welcome to our very first gossip column! The gossip column is open to paid subscribers only.

We define “gossip” as the following:

  • Actual gossip & rumors

  • Made-up stories about yourself or your friends

  • Photos or info from your personal lives

  • Recaps of historical beef

  • Missed connections

  • Photoshop edits/memes

  • Speculative matchmaking

  • Subtweet/substory screencaps

  • ESPN-style beef analysis/breakdowns

  • Screenshots from private accounts

  • Secret (or just publicly undiscovered) accounts

  • After-hours photoshoots a la Cobrasnake or somebody's MySpace photo dump

If you’d like to submit an item, you can email gossip.zonamotel[at]gmail.com, or use this anonymous form.1

This first column is about what happened at Storyfort, the literary wing of the larger TreeFort Music Festival, which happens each year in Boise, ID. If you want insights into what went down, you’ll need to become a paid subscriber. More will be revealed to those who join our community of readers. (Thank you to our paid subscribers! We are grateful for you and your support.)

xoxo,

Your gossip girls, Rae and Mariah
