Things 971
appreciated hearing:
-I discovered your publication about
three
weeks ago, and have been chowing down on the archives ever since.
-P.S. 971
was the beginning of my
childhood
phone number, and I once won a 9-7-1 trifecta ($780) at the track.
-Wow!
Awesome job to you guys! The
entire
thing looks excellent.... I’ll be a reader as long as you keep at it.
-Thanks
again for your care to this
piece --
a lot of editors are happy to simply cut and paste -- so I appreciate
the
candor
and dialogue.
-I’m thrilled to discover such a
great site
dedicated to short-shorts and flash.
-My
kingdom for more people willing
to say
icky when they mean icky....
-I think all 4 stories this month are
great.
Really great, especially “Touch” and “Enough,” but then I’ve always
been a
sucker for stories about sanded-off fingertips and Coors-Light-drinking
RV
owners.
-The menu is lovely. I like the
instructions
on the front page. They got rid of my boredom fleas.
-Thanks
so much.
-Just
discovered 971 and very glad
I did,
some terrific writing up there; nice to be inspired now and then.
-Some editors are, well, not nearly
as nice
as you.
-Cheers.
-You
have a coolio thing going on in 971
MENU!
-Wow! What a wonderful online
magazine you’ve
got going. I really find your website appealing :-) Good job!
-Too bad the guy got shot in the
face... but
I love the last part of that paragraph. Something about his beautiful
mouth. I
like hearing that a dead man had a beautiful mouth. It seems like a
very
important thing to remember about someone.
-Hello, I’ve heard fine things
about
your mag.
-Dear Editor,
You and your zine are really, really ridiculously good-looking.
-Thank you for your kind words.
-I appreciate the close reading and
editing.
-Here’s a story I wrote while trying
to
write something else. I intended it to be the beginning of something,
but I
decided it was just fine as it was.
-I
very much enjoy your journal.
-I am a fan of the stories you
publish on the
website and thought I would submit my own to you.
-I love your magazine.
-Sincerely,
-I found your site by looking for
stories by
my friend.... I really enjoyed everything I read there.
-The page looks wonderful! Thank you
for
taking time with this story, and I hope to work with you again.
-Um, definitely groovy.
-I
particularly enjoyed....
Thank you for your comments, work, readership.
