thanks for the comment and fave for Rustle of Millions!

Thanks for your kind words on "Clovertown"--much appreciated, Susan!

Thanks for your response to "The List," Susan. Actually, I did it in reverse order: I quit the advertising biz, went back to school, and got my MA and a teaching credential. Never once regretted it, either.

Susan: How does one render thanks for a word like "exquisite?" Coming from someone as talented as you, that's quite an accolade. Thank you.

I prize your comment about "The Law...." Thank you so much.

Susan G, you are a dear heart and I very much appreciate your comments on "kid"

Thank you for taking the time to read Firework Sand - and for your very kind words. So glad you enjoyed it - and grateful to you for taking the time to come on here and say so. Means a lot to me. Gill

Thanks Susan. X

Ah, Susan, thank you for both the fav & comment. "Sisters" has created quite a controversy! Thank you for restoring sanity. However I think I'll throw some gasoline on the fire with my next post, a piece titled "Tots."

Hi Susan. Thanks for reading Bliss, and thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. fos.

Susan - thanks for the words on Paper House! Getting back a little here at the ole f'naut, just don't know how much, will look for yours when I am around, for sure!

Thanks so much for your read and comments on "The Wedding March," both at 52/250 and here. I value your input and wisdom, and our blossoming friendship, too.

Hey Susan!

Thanks so much for reading and enjoying Lost in the City. Ironically enough my gal & I spent a quick 48hrs in NYC to get some of your famous holiday buzz - Mission Accomplished. Also thrilled to have you leading off MICROW in our winter edition. I've recv'd much praise on the issue and lots of props for your work. Cheers!

Thanks for the kind comment on "Dog Medicine," Susan. It's a (re)telling of a slice of a larger true story. Car had broke down after driving west through the Rocky Mts. My friend and I camped out on that hillside while waiting for a part to arrive for our car. I thought the dog, looking as it did, was coming up the hill to kill me(!) So the relief was immense when, basically, it put me to bed, so to speak, covered me and protected me all night.

Susan, your comments are always wonderfully insightful. Thank you for reading Ping Pong, and Gin And A Cowboy: Redux, and for the stars on both!

Thanks for the lovely comments and fave for "Repair Man" Susan. You read and comment on so many stories. I really appreciate your generosity.

Susan, thank you for the double read of It Stops, and for posting it up on Facebook. This one has a lot invested in it so I really appreciate that you liked it. Gone to find you on facebook...

Thanks for reading!

Hi Susan, Thank you for reading and the kind Comments!

Thanks so very much for reading How To Burn Years and giving comment. You put me in much too fine company by comparison, though, I'm afraid. However, it is flattering. Thanks, again.

Susan, thank you! My rejection count is up to THREE today, so your kind comment has def. lifted my spirits.

Susan, the way you take the time to cite a specific strength in a piece is perhaps the best form of praise one writer can offer another. Thank you for reading "Swift and Precise".

Thanks very much for the generous comment and the fave on 4P28, Susan. I'm so glad the story felt real to you.

Susan, thanks for the kind words and fave for "Wake Up." I like your picture!

Glad you enjoyed Cowgirl. Thanks for reading.

Susan G, thanks ever so much for your response to Little Peebles. Am glad to hear it falls into magical realism category--
I like that kind of writing and never tried it before. It's quite freeing

Hi, Susan. Thanks for reading 'Working the City.' I greatly appreciate your comments.

Thanks, Susan. Deflater indeed. Took the wind out of that old boy's sails all right.

Thank you Susan for reading Sunset in the Hills, and your kind words and all.

Thanks, Susan, for commenting on and faving "Precipice of Questions." Appreciate it!

Thanks Susan, for Captains of Industry. All my longer work contains strong women. I like speculating about how they think. Appreciate your comments.

Hey Susan! Thanks for reading Cory's Carousel... Not to worry; it's all fictional, but glad that the tone came across!

Thank you!

Thanks, Susan,for the comments as usual.

thanks very much for the read and comment on rodeo, susan. i'm glad that some of the pathos of bill markee's situation came through. sometimes it's a problem when one starts shaving off information to shape a small piece what feels as though it ends up going away. i put a short comment about his story by the story. i likely wouldn't have were it not for your comment. so thanks.

Thank you for the Fluid Life, Susan I find it hard to capture NorCal even though writing a book set here. Fluid Life has already had three edits to the post. Your words are always encouraging.
(Nice new photo BTW -)

hi susan. thanks for reading and commenting on my stuff, but in particular on the imagination factory.

Susan, thank you. I appreciate your sharp eye and kind words.

Susan! Thanks for the read and * on Escalation. I am coming back soon to do a sweep on stories posted to the 52|250 group! Can't wait -- how I'm spending my afternoon. I love being able to read them there during the week I'm posting, then here again, with more time and care. It's a double-pleasure.

I appreciate your comments on "Enid's Hat, Joyce's Youth."

Susan, thanks for commenting on "Firecrackers"!

Hi again, Susan. Wanted to expand a bit on "doin' the twist." I have to confess that twist endings are still a drug for me, I'm afraid. I grew up on them, reading the likes of O Henry and when I dove into fiction – Left at the Tracks was my first serious stab at short fiction – I steered toward familiar terrain. But I'm in rehab now, trying to avoid the easy, intoxicating buzz of the delicious twist that I still love...

Thanks so much for your lovely comments on "Third House Down," Susan! Much appreciated.

Susan, I should have known that it would be you who would plumb the dark depths of my L.A. story. You are the best reader! Thanks so much. Reading your comments this morning gave me a huge lift.

I don't have time today to return the favour but will be back to read some of your work later in the week. Regards, Robyn

Hi Susan - just wanted to drop by to thank you for leaving some very kind comments about "At the back of the crowd".

Susan -- thanks for that. The sound of silence was pretty scary in this case. Really appreciate your heartfelt comment on my non-fiction story.

Thanks for commenting on "Penny Arcadia," Susan. I like your focus on sensory experience. I guess you could say childhood itself is a sensory experience. Or maybe, there's no real memory without a sense memory.

Thank you, Susan, for your comments on "Hotel Chelsea - Intercut 9" - I appreciate it.

Susan, thank you for your lovely comment on Crystal.

Thank you, Susan, I'm glad you liked Pitt Bull!

You know what? You're not the first person who has ever said that. Flashes of things appear in my head, and I put them on paper -- it's a weird process I can't really describe, but that's how I write. Anyway, thanks for reading the opening to "Woolgathering". I wish I didn't have to leave for work because I'd really like to spend the night working on it.

Somebody I knew once thought it would be funny to submit a haiku I had written about a zombie bunny to a horror zine back in 2004. That's the extent of my publishing experience. I have nothing but fear for publishers.

Thanks, Susan, for your kind comment on "The Assassination of Sadat."

Hi Susan, thanks for your comments about "Lick My Blahniks, she said".

Thanks, Susan. Your "Well done" means a lot to me. The bailing out part of the story is true. Ouch!

Susan,
I am so impressed with your self-set exercise, 100 pieces of micro fiction in 100 days. You are on my contact list, so I do hope you'll keep posting!

I Susan! Thank you for finding my wacky Alpaca story fun!

Susan, I'm pleased you liked that image! Thanks for reading RFR :-)

Hi Susan and thanks for reading the scenes from the story. I always appreciate your time and support.

Thanks so much, Susan!

Susan, Thank you for wonderful comment about "Black Orchids." One of my teachers once told me to write about cardinal issues. I try.

Thanks for you insightful comments on "Blossoms and Buds," Susan!

Thanks for the comments on Eli. I get a huge kick out of dogs. Never owned one - if I ever do it will be one of the working breeds. Some of them are so smart it's scary.

Your attaboys are very encouraging.

Susan, thanks ever so much for your comment and fav on "Things you remember..." I'm really looking for a voice for that particular time and place. This helps a lot.

Thanks, Susan, for commenting on "Boolean Muteness"!

Susan, thanks so much for checking out "The Boyfriend" and commenting. Much appreciated!

thanks, Susan, for the read and the comment...much appreciated.

Hi Susan,
It's great to wake up to words of praise about "I Like it This Way" in my inbox. Thanks and thanks for the star, too. I workshopped that piece in a class, and the students went back and forth about keeping or omitting the ending. I kept it. It's not a story without it.

Susan, thank you so much for reading and commenting on This Girl in That Shirt.

Hi Susan, thanks for reading and commenting on Nine and Five, much appreciated. foster.

Susan, thank you for reading my first F'naut story and for your nice comment.

Thanks for your encouraging comments on "Color Wheel." They were very helpful, and I may return to the piece and see if a story emerges.

An Atwood reader in Connecticut! That makes me burst with pride and familiarity. All of us Canadians know each other just like all writers know each other. I can prove it. I have a picture.

Susan, thank you for your flattering comment on 'Spill' - much appreciated. Martha

Susan, thank you ever so much for your words on "Storefront."

Thanks, Susan, for reading "Classmates," and your fav and the comments--your seeing the simlutaneous intimacy and openness helped me see that too!

Hi Susan, thanks for your comments on Invisible Grime - I'm happy you liked it.

Thanks Susan!

Susan, You are an amazing reader as well as writer. I always learn something about my stories when you comment on them. Thanks!

I appreciate your comments on From the Reader's Ingest, Mouth Theory. At this point you are in a very select group of less than five, way less than five, who have in print form praised this writer's fiction work. My work has had the distinction of being rejected by the best and most renowned publications. Art may be a personal editorial decision by like minds until they change their minds.

Thanks again for your wonderful comments!

Susan, You hit the nail on the head with your comments about the "new" style of writing. I feel the same way.

Thanks again, Susan for the nice words about my terrorist.

Thanks, Susan. I appreciate your comments just as I enjoy reading your inventive stories.

Thanks so much for your comments on "The Witness." I always learn something from your commentary. You are a good teacher!

Thanks for the positive comments on Aching Hours. Definitely makes my morning.

All the best,
Douglas

Susan, Thank you for reading and commenting on my story - I appreciate both very much. foster.

I just read "Maude Nichols." Clever and fall-on-the-floor funny!

Thanks again, Susan.
Jerry

thanks Susan- I appreciate it

Thanks, Susan, for the kind words on "Nutrition". You're the bestest.

Thank you for your comment on Breeze.

Susan:

Thanks for the kind comment on my piece "Gatlinburg." Glad you enjoyed.

Thanks for the kind comment on my story.

Thanks so much for your comments on the story "I am wearing stolen socks" I appreciate it and look forward to reading your latest...

Thanks for the kind coment. Feliz navidad!

Thank you , Susan, for your kind comment on "Man On A Balcony In His Bathrobe."

i just wrote a looong review encouraging you to submit this to frank hinton for the metazen christmas book...sorry to lose my review (and 1 fav)! i really liked this story very much - honest pulled no punches well structured and spread - but when i tried to save your story was - gone!? ...pity! you give so much here and the least anybody can do is give some attention back to you.

Ah, sorry about the confusion. I didn't even notice the fav thing. I'm pretty new to the site (well, I've been a member for quite some time but have just gotten around to participating) and am still figuring out how to respond to people, technologically speaking--if I should just reply from my email or go to their page and comment back (like I'm doing right now). So things like favs are going right over my head.

Yes, Barthes and Borges. I think I need to write a story with the two of them boxing, or maybe baking a cake.

Hey, Susan! Thanks for the message - yeah, I just went for it. I'm so glad this group exists. You can count me in for it every month.

I appreciate your generosity. Thank you so much for taking the time to read one of my stories and offer such valuable comments.

Hi, Susan. Yeah, "Maude Nichols" is a fantastic story. I've never seen anything quite like it. Very creative, very engaging, and very, very cool.

I love what you are doing. Totally love it, Susan. It is so creative and innovative and FUN

Thanks for all the encouraging words, Susan!

thanks, susan! it’s an odd thing: i didn’t even know i’d enjoy commenting on other people’s work: i am not, and have never been part of a literary community and, frankly, i dreaded receiving comments (could be, because of real life group experiences in london and auckland a while ago that cemented my writer’s block. it’s gone). the journey is great and i find fictionaut very sustaining (next to other modes of near-continuous procrastination).

i didn’t know you were an editor/publisher - read “about” on your site now (like it), and i’m happy to see i’m not the only nutter on here…i’m an ENFP btw. ms flawnt is an ISTJ (complementary opposite).

i keep coming back to your hyperfiction pieces and i think i am ready to experiment some. noticed you also use wordpress. i am curious how i would start … by making a process map perhaps? a file chart? redraw the lines of my body on glass? on japan paper? i’m clueless. maybe that’s a question for your hypertext

i'd like to dub you hyper-fictitious angel for your helpful thoughtful attitude on fictionaut and i hope you have a great festive season, susan!

Thank you Susan. Oh, William Gay, he's great. I relate to the bad mood spurring on creativity.

Thank you for the comments on "Hearts in Exurbia." I notice we read some of the same authors. I read Gay's "That Evening Sun" a few years ago and have conversed with him at the Oxford Conference for the Book. I just finished Murakami's "After Dark." I didn't get it.

I just logged in to comment on Thanksgiving Day 2039, which I enjoyed reading. The tone of it striking, unusual, acute.

Susan, thanks for the quick comment . . . it is a longer story. I hope you have the opportunity and time (never enough) to keep reading.

Thank you for the comment on Jan. 1993.

yeah, when i read his story collection, just knocked me out--that strange (to me) southern gothic, that beautiful detail, characters fully formed --

falco? i do not have him on my book list, do i? i have FANTE (lol)--

anyway, used to mess with some hypertext stuff, back in the day, have not in a while--

cheers,

gary

Hi, Susan. Thanks for the kind words about The Big Dipper! Looking forward to reading your work!

Thanks Susan for your "On the verge" fave/comment!
