Rachel, thanks for reading Little Yappy Dog, and for your comments about interweaving elements- Much appreciated. Loved Rogue Trading, great piece! All best.
Thanks for the comment on Almost There, Rachel. Appreciate it very much. Great seeing you here. Off to read a couple stories now... And I look forward to hearing more about Mrs. Lobridge.
Rachel, thanks so much for reading and commenting on "Matisse..". I agree; it seems to me that life is mostly about finding our place. The lucky and the geniuses find it earlier. I look forward to reading your work here.
Maren, I'll be sure to whine about the damp just as you're enjoying the sunshine. It's so discombobulating being seasonally at odds with the world and, coming from the UK as I do, I still get confused myself.
Summer holidays - hard to imagine there is such a thing while I listen to my son's complaining that it is not quite cold enough for the rain to turn into snow... We could do with a little bit of summer here!
Hi, Shilo - I hope I'm posting and replying correctly, too! I'm also new.
I got gorgeous box set of cards from Binnacle, everyone's flash/poetry pieces from the comp in teeny form, but last time I checked the journal wasn't ready...thanks for reminding me to look. They are lovely to work with.
Your piece is nuanced and subtle. Really enjoyed it.
Thank you for reading my story "Level." I'm new to Fictionaut, so I hope I'm posting and replying correctly. Has Binnacle released your piece yet? I placed a story there a while back, but I was moving at the time and lost track of their publication schedule. The journal is very cleverly formatted and the folks are great to work with. Thanks again for the close read of the piece. I'll make that revision soon. I really was going for a delicately nuanced piece that leaves the reader feeling glad to have read a piece of short fiction--not too heavy, not slapstick. Thank you, again!
Rachel, I'm so touched by your comments on my poem. I've never studied writing and know nothing about the technical aspects, particularly of poetry, so such observations from a 'real' poet really mean a lot. Thanks so much for taking the time to read and comment. Means a lot, you have no idea!
Hi, Rachel. A friend of Beate is a friend of mine. Glad you've joined us. I see in your profile you live in Auckland. I'm in Wellington, moved here from the US in 2005. Will look forward to bumping into you in the marvelous world of Fictionaut. Welcome!
Oh, excellent, Michelle!
Thank you so much for the enthusiastic comment on Cornfield, Rae! Yes, and yes! It is... :)
No worries, Michelle - good to read you!
Thanks for stopping by to read my little Berlin love story, Rae. Glad that worked for you. Good seeing you here!
Great device, Elizabeth - best of luck - if this story is anything to go by, your collection will be a success.
Thank you for your comment on "Out of Uniform". I'm working on a whole series of short-shorts told by objects.
No worries, Meg. :)
Rachel - thank you very much for your nice words about my story "Night Flower" - very strongly appreciated! best, meg

Seriously, thanks.
