Well, we've all been whingeing about WLW hacking up 'Zine letters like a cash-strapped butcher as of late, so I figured an alternative:
Stick your original version of the letter here.
We'll keep this corner about to allow people to show the world those letters that didn't quite make the final cut. I'll stick some ground rules now, as I'm bossy.
Conditions:Non-printed letters[list][*]Please only post letters you sent that you thought were quite good. Ones that didn't make the final cut for reasons you cannot understand: ones you are proud of. That sort of thing
[*]You must have genuinely sent the letter to Mega-Zine, and allowed the eight-day rule to have elapsed before sticking it up on here, if it's a recent send.
[*]If it's an old one that you've still got knocking about for some reason, stick that up, too.
[/list]
Butchered letters[list][*]Show us the original, the way you wanted it formatted.
[*]If it was just a sentence at the end that got lopped off, I would suggest not to bother; it was probably just too long or something.
[*]If it was edited in order to make it less offensive/rude/vulgar, put it up here. Bit of filth is good for the immune system.[/list]
Alternatively [email=mega_zine
@hotmail.com]flood the Alternative Mega-Zine[/email], and cut out the middle-
manthread completely
Now let rip.
