Well, unfortunately, I lost most of the feedback to August's issue of Grrowl! in my "Great E-Mail Losing Debacle" wherin I lost around 65 messages in mysterious fashion (so if you sent me something and haven't heard back- send it again!) This is what I've been able to salvage:

As usual, we start with last month's Snarl about Teenagers--

^^^

"I really liked your zine #4! I was immersed in many of the articles and poems. I also really like Snarl, which talks about teenagers of the modern world. Wow, I can relate to that when I was a teen, for I am interested in intelluctual matters yet none of my peers or anyone I have known during teen years seem to understand! We need to make a campaign of commit- ment to teens of the today so that they will not be just involved in mainstream society's typical activities but to grow and to express creatively! Anyone up to it? =>"

^^^

"The snarl was very well written, if I didn't have one in my space right now I may have agreed with it more. There were just a couple of points I didn't agree with although I understand what the author meant by needing to encourage teens to find more positive things to do with their time."

^^^

And the rest of Grrowl!:

^^^
"I am very excited to find something truly mature on the net. This is my first exposure to any of the zines and I am very impressed."

^^^

"I enjoyed the most the story "curse of falling off the roof.""

^^^

"reading august issue and about fell out of my seat at the "fingernails" poem. do we all do these things and never know because we don't share. like, yeah, when does it ever come up in the conversation?"

^^^

"Was very happy to read Ann's Being At Home: my feminist choice. I started a moms-at-home group is my area and all of us are up in arms about the continued comparing of at-home mothering with June Cleaverdom. We're nothing like that! Just today an article was printed in my paper - an article written by a Los Angeles Times reporter. She quoted women saying that children are better off in day care, that they don't think you need to stay home to teach family values. (What? As if that's the only reason to stay home?) Nothing was mentioned of the reasons most of us stay home - breastfeeding, being there for the hugs, playing, laughing, crying and learning together. I stay home with Diana, 9, Logan, almost 5, and Jalen, 2. There is no doubt that I can supply them with some advantages day care can't offer - such as care by a person who is totally in love with them. Our group is attempted to educate the public about the rewards and challenges of at-home mothering, but it's an uphill battle."

^^^

"Excellent! Keep up the good wor{d,k}s!"

^^^

"i am familiar with Grrowl! and i always read it when i delve into nrrd grrl!. i would love it if you would run my story in an upcoming issue. it would be a great opportunity for me to contribute to such an insightful and interesting web site."

^^^

"I've been reading Grrowl! and looking at the NrrdGrrl! website and have really enjoyed both of them. Your design is both accessible and enjoyable making my visit a fantastic experience."
