In trepidation

Hi, I don't want to break any rules here. Am I allowed to mention my new short story magazine. It is a non-profit making venture so I'm not a greedy capitalist. I won't give the URL in case I am out of line. But will do if prompted.

Re In trepidation

Sure, go ahead and mention it. I'm sure there are people who would be interested.

Re In trepidation

I am a greedy capitalist. But I like the other folks too.

Your old music cannot sustain you through a life, not if you're someone who listens to music every day, at every opportunity. You need input, because pop music is about freshness, about Nelly Furtado and the maddeningly memorable fourth track on a first album by a band you saw on a late-night TV show. And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby

Just breaking in here for a quick comment. One of our members noted that they just received a spam email from your magazine / web site announcing a writing contest.

Once you are a full-blown participating member here, you have signature rights, and I'm sure interested people will check out your site. But, please do not email the members promoting things.

Thank you.
Amy

Re In trepidation

I, however, remain a capitalist, and after being a member for 5 1/2 years, have managed to put a link to a blog in my sig line. That's about it.

But trust me. Hang out for just a little while (if that's your intent) and this gang will end up knowing your dog's birthday, your favorite ice cream flavor and will go spam other people themselves promoting your business. Heck, I can think of two members here who have done just that for me.

I apologise for that, I didn't realise I could mention the competition directly and I am really sorry about the direct emails sent.

Don't worry, my first week here I posted an entire article from a newspaper, not realizing the forum's policy about copyrighted materials

I figured it was probably just a tad too much enthusiasm No harm, no foul.

Re In trepidation

Deleted my post?

Actually, I think it might have been David who did that.
