I can't believe it has been ten years. Well done, even if you did can Nerve Chat and destroy a thriving community of pervs and ne'er-do-wells. On the other hand, my boss was starting to notice my lack of productivity due to all the time I spent there, so you probably saved my career!
If you might take suggestions for republication, two items that stand out on their merits, as well as being great examples of what you do are:
- one in which the writer collected encounters with men in her explicit efforts toward getting pregnant (lying curled up on a bathroom floor), detailing the characteristics she wanted to take from each. I've looked for it, since - at least twice-, but couldn't find it.
- one in which the writer was a pop star songer songwriter, and it used various names, jumbled for legal reasons, in a fictionalized 'getting his groove back'... I think watersports were involved. *s* A premonition of the direction the magazine took, as well as a good piece. It was in one of your anthologies.
-of course Lisa Carver's Threesomes, and Cosper's "Let A=" are all time greats and perhaps most acessible.
Other personal favorites are : Joseph Monning (sp?) Landscapes, and Ian Spiegalman's (sp?, again,) "Dara".
There's another Cosper (Keeping Count), a Henry Wren (limo driver...), there's one about a young (jewish?) boy entering the mouth of a female singer he idolizes..just goes to show how many memorable pieces you've put out..

Ten years later you continue to publish some of the most interesting, original content online. Kudos to you. Thank you.
