Submit a Yarn

Standard yarn A proper Daily Yarn write-up — just the facts as a small-town reporter would tell them. Pub yarn First-person over a beer. Bit unreliable, bit embellished. Spotted in... Gossip-style. Single weird observation, no claims, just what was seen. Council chaos Bureaucratic absurdity. Long meetings, meaningless motions, the chair losing the room. Suburban crime Mystery and intrigue. Stolen wheelie bins, suspicious activity, neighbourhood watch hysteria. Tradie tale Tools, utes, smoko, sites. Voice from the job. School gate Parent politics. PTA factions. The lunchbox wars. Sports sideline Field-side drama. Coach feuds. Junior rugby gone wrong. Angry reader response Strongly-worded letter to the editor. "Concerned of Khandallah" energy. Boomer Facebook post The angry retiree status update voice. ALL CAPS where appropriate. True crime podcast Solemn voiceover applied to absurd subject. Casefile NZ energy. Political column Fictional politicians only — no real names. Bureaucratic windbaggery.
