I’ve submitted twice - unscathed both times. Of course, I don’t know how you’de scathe a poem, but my current story is identical to my original Word file.
Euty, don’t let it die! PLEASE!!! I’ll send more stuff! I promise! I’ll even help if there’s anything I could do! Seriously!
NO!!! I have read and enjoyed every issue! Advertise for more submissions—publish irregularly—but don’t let it die! I loved Dogzilla’s story, and FCM’s story made me cry!
I am not a writer, or I would submit something…
Man.
Only Teemings could possibly persuade me to get over my shyness and submit something.
I’ll do it, Euty, and it won’t even be a song parody.
Please don’t stop, Teemings is one of my favorite things to read.
I’m still pissed off I only get to be a One Hit Wonder. I had visions in my head of the Chicago Reader eventually picking up my work, then the Utne Reader… the Mother Jones… then a book contract. Okay, I was dreaming out loud but still.
However, if keeping this thread alive and campaigning for public outcry will save Teemings… count me in.
I realize Teemings isn’t the only place we can all get published (without getting paid), but it’s really nice to know there is a place for SDMB members. Teemings gives us writers a slight advantage over just cranking something out and hoping to find someone to run it. At least you’ll read our work because we’re members, if for no other reason.
I promise to write more dog stories if you’ll just hang in there.
Hmm … well …
It seems to me that maybe we could just do with a few months off then. Maybe once I get some things in my home situation squared away and recharge some batteries here we could get back to it.
Well, okay … go ahead and if you have submissions, go ahead and sent them in and I’ll reconsider. Whatever you have; text, cartoons, photo essays, whatever.
In the meantime, be on the lookout in this forum for an idea I had this afternoon to pass the time for a fill-in issue.
**Caught@Work, ** I’m the senior editor, and Juniper200 is the associate editor. These are really fancy terms for “spellcheckers.” 
In other words, we don’t change much of anything. Spelling errors, the occasional punctuation error. Nothing that would change the actual content of your submission. And if we have a question, we ask. Really!
I think an all bestiality issue is the way to go.
