Hey Stephanie, I was going to email you about this but then I thought, why not post it over here and let other people who might be interested know about it?

There's a new online magazine called Popcorn Popping(http://www.popcornpopping.net/
), dedicated to creative works for, by, or about Mormons. Every week they will publish two or three pieces. They just started up a couple days ago. The fun part about it is that it's in blog form, so your work can get immediate feedback from different readers. I think it's going to be a lot of fun.

Submit a story or just stop on by to read and comment.

Moving into serious mode here...Stephanie, you really don't need to describe people's clothing all the time. In fact, not really at all, unless it adds something significant to the character. I only mention this because I remember distinctly thinking while reading Rules of Engagement that we were getting descriptions of people's clothing on nearly every page. So it's not only unnecessary but often also distracting.

Um, I believe I'm still the Disney Princess Enchanted Dream Ball champion, which definitely makes me a winner.

By the way, I saw an abridged audiobook version of Rules of Engagement at Seagull. Who did the narration on that? Did you do it? That would be funny.

Now you mock Tenderheart's pain. There is a special place in hell for reserved people who kidnap Care Bears. And I know some people who are going there.

lol. I almost forgot about this place.

Let's see, let's play a game I'll call, The Truth is Revealed, in which we find startling truths within the subtext of "Rules of Engagement" I'll start.

On pg.. 101 speaking about a guys apartment we read "Fliers and leftover paint from pranks gone wrong covered the door in a platter of graffiti." Well whose fault is that, Stephanie? Whose fault is that!

See, the truth is revealed here. Stephanie puts crap on the doors of guys apartments just so she can write about how trashy they look in her book. The truth is revealed!

Another startling passage comes on page 106, which contains the following starling dialogue, "Emma was shocked, "What? You read some of his notes?" "No, I read all of his notes."

The truth is revealed! All the time Stephanie claimed that she wasn't reading other peoples honey pot notes before she delivered them. But she clearly was! Emma is obviously Stephanie's roommate, and the conscienceless one is Stephanie. Sad, sad day.

Oh, there are more. Many more. Like the part where the narrator mocks the guys' excellently developed stadium seating in their living room, secretly revealing Stephanie's contempt for stadium couches, even though she had no complaints when SHE was sitting on them! The truth is revealed indeed.

Ha! I'm going to wait and see if Stephanie can figure out who I am first.  :)
