My copy of Dragon has my eyes in it now as they popped out last night. I did not expect to see my letter printed, as I felt it was just one more comment on the changes in the magazine rather than an important essay on the future of Dragon.
Maybe I'll start submitting articles to Dragon and Dungeon now so my eyes can really pop out!
Congratulations to Erik Mona on his appointment to Editor-in-Chief. I've been a lurker of sorts on various online gaming sites over the years (AOL's Greytalk, etc.) and having seen his past work, I look forward to the immediate future in both Dungeon and Dragon magazines. Keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
Michael Gross
I was pretty surprised to see my letter about swimsuit issues months after I wrote it. I had forgotten about even writing it.

It's weird when I started reading my own letter because I was thinking "this sounds familiar". Into the second paragraph, though, I knew it was mine. But you're right, the time in between allows your mind to forget what you wrote (or in your case that you wrote it at all). You must be over 30, as well. Or your ginkoba supply has run out like mine!

I had a letter published in issue #227. I still remember feeling really jazzed about it at the time, even though it was a minor little thing. I think it was the first time something I wrote appeared in the magazine. It's signed "Iquander," because that was my AOL screen name (still is, actually), and Dave Gross pulled the letter from the Dragon message board.
Maybe I should steal that trick. . .

I've seen that used in building magazines... Fine Homebuilding I think is one of them. They take good questions from their discussion board and the best answers and put them in as a 3-page section or so (most of the 3 pages being filled with ads, of course). It seems to work pretty well.

Well, it looks like my avatar name just kicked in, so next time I can get a letter published as "Zudrak". Cool... :D

I got in a couple years ago (requesting new "serious" comics like the old Twilight Empire and Libram X). It's a good feeling, even though nothing ever came of my request.
I'll be 32 on the 28th.

Happy Birthday, Airsucker!
