Carolyn, there are several excellent ones here; 'The Patient English' may well tickle the Empress's fancy. The others may be equally good, but unfortunately there are a lot of titles I don't recognize. (That's why I put the original titles in italics after mine.)
To post or not to post? Over the past year, I've held opposing views, but in the end I've concluded that it makes no difference whether you do so or not, and that applies to the NS, Spectator and Oldie as well as the WP. (The case of the Literary Review is more extreme - it makes no difference whether or not you even submit an entry. But that's a subject that need no longer preoccupy us.)
Sometimes I've kept what I thought was a particularly good entry under wraps, only to have it share the fate of a lead balloon. On other occasions, I've taken the risk of posting a so-so entry, which ended up winning.
And vice versa.
