[stylist] Could I publish this somewhere? Like in a tabloid

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Since this is fiction, you couldn't publish it in any nonfiction-type
publication. And it's more antidotal than story-like, so perhaps a
digest like The Reader's Digest which accepts short stories, jokes,
antidotal pieces like this and various other things. You also have to
ask why would people want to read this, and by "this," I mean in the
general sense of anything any writer writes. We all have to consider the
purpose of our writing, and if others would enjoy it; once you figure
this out, it can help you find a market in which to publish it.

Sincerely,

Hi Stylist and Writers-Chat Members,
I wanted to share a little something with you.
I have a whole Braillenote folder dedicated for these.  I have 
started writing these for enjoyment ever since December.  What I 
do is, I make up the last name of a family, decide how many 
multiples there will be, name them, and create their story.  I'm 
wondering if I could maybe put this into a tabloid? I really 
enjoy making these.  Here's an example of one.

I have been pretty much using the format of articles about 
multiples that I find on the Internet.
Here goes:

December 20, 2012

The Smith family of Montgomery, Alabama are celebrating Christmas 
once again.  Their three singletons, surviving quads and 
andrviving quints are all getting their Christmas tree here. The Smith
quadruplets were born on December 31, 2008, to Carla 
and Alfred Smith.  The couple did not use fertility treatment; 
rather, they were produced from one egg.  Minutes before the 
birth, the family named them-Honor, Honey, Haven, Heaven.
Carla says, "Lots of people laughed at our decisions for names.  
Oh well, we're old enough to make our own decisions."
At the birth of the quads, the family already had a single child, 
Sandra, born November 23, 1996.
Honor came at 9-08 AM the morning of the birth; Honey at 11-10, 
Haven at 8-11 and Heaven at 8-13.  However, Honor died at 8-12.  
The cause, however, is unknown.  Doctors made sure to take extra 
pecial care of the three survivors, as they were worried that 
Honor's death was caused by a genetic deffect.
In October 2000, the Smiths decided to have one last child.  
However, they got quints; 3 boys and 2 girls, this time all 
fraternal, and again conceived spontaneously.  Dutch, English, 
Vanille, Coco and French were born between March 10 and 12, 2001; 
the first two March 10, the second 2 March 11, and the last, 
March 12.
The quints were in critical condition much longer than the quads.  
Carla and Alfred were worried that they wouldn't make it.  Sadly, 
on March 16, the youngest and smallest, French, succumbed.  By 
September 28, however, all were home, safe and sound.
When asked by reporters whether the sets feel that they are 
missing something because of one from each set no longer being 
alive, Heaven says, "No-we have each other."
"But," Honey remembers, "we do remember our grandparents not 
liking our names.  My grandma hated the name Honey so much, she 
just called me "Little Girl number 3", because Sandra and Honor 
were older than me."
In May 2006, Charlotte entered the family; in May 2008 came 
Celeste, and the family is awaiting one last child-a boy-comin 
spring 2013.
Alfred says, "No matter what happens, we will always be a family.  
That's what makes ours so strong."



Any hope I could get this published? How?
