Triggerfish

[Nash]

I've had one accepted in issue 9 of Triggerfish. I'm particularly pleased about this one, it's a cracking magazine, one of my favourites online.

I get to have a sound file included too!

Nash.

[Antcliff]

Many congrats Nash. Is it one featured here?

Whoop whoop!

Brilliant news Nash.

Congrats Nash

[David]

Well done again, Nasher.

[Ros]

Well done, Nash - it's a classy mag.

Ros

[Nash]

Thankyou very much all. It was a new one Seth, I haven't posted it here.

Well....(not counting my first earlier submission which Ros accepted for Antiphon) that's my first batch of submissions all accounted for. Three accepted (Cake, Triggerfish and Ink, Sweat and Tears) and three rejected (Other, Streetcake and Snakeskin(...the swines)).

[Ros]

That's a pretty high success rate, Nash. Not to be sneezed at.

Ros

Congrats Mr Nash.

Funnily enough I've been accepted by Other and Snakeskin yet rejected by Ink, Sweat and Tears and Triggerfish!

[Nash]

Thanks very much again Ros.

Thanks Kris, it's all horses for courses and that, I suppose. I would have thought your work would have been right up Triggerfish's alley though.

[Nash]

This one's just gone live.

It's all very exciting, I've got a sound file of me reading it on there too.

[Antcliff]

Congrats....the sound o Nash.

[David]

That's brilliant, Nasher. I enjoyed the poem, but I was three paragraphs into the review - three paragraphs of thinking "Who is this pretentious literal-minded buffoon?" - before I realised what you'd done. And then I remembered.

A coup!

Cheers

David

[Nash]

Cheers Seth!

David - I don't use these very often but

I think you're referring to the Land Art poem I posted a while back with the fake review attached? I do hope you are because that would be hilarious!

This review is real, the editors encourage everyone involved to review another poem in the issue!

I am! Aaaaaaagh!

Oh no! That's very embarrassing! An honest mistake. Oops. (It is a silly review, though, isn't it?)

Do you think I'd better delete my post? I really don't mind. Perhaps I should. You think so? I should give more attention to the poem itself.

[Nash]

I'll leave that entirely up to you David!

I think it's brilliant myself. Your comment that is!

Cheers,
Nash (...still chuckling)

[Ros]

Poem as whodunnit! What an amazing review!

Great poem, Nash. Full of depths of meaning, obviously.

Ros

[bodkin]

Nice one Nash! You don't sound like I would imagine, however...

...but then again, I wonder who does?

[Nash]

Cheers Ros, Cheers Ian,

You don't sound like I would imagine

Me neither! Very disappointed, I sound just like John Hurt in my head. Just out of interest, and I know I shouldn't ask, how did you think I would sound?

We should definitely have more sound files here at PG, what do you reckon?

but then again, I wonder who does?

Is that a Bladerunner reference I see there?

[Antcliff]

Hi
it is that beard and moustache...I thought you'd sound, oh, something like Colour Seargeant Bourne in Zulu. No...it has confused me.

seth

[Nash]

I thought you'd sound, oh, something like Colour Seargeant Bourne in Zulu

I had to google it but it would be great to have a voice like that, wouldn't it?

[Antcliff]

Yeh.
And a good poem...that line 3 ending really sets it up. When you read it you do a double take...or at least I did...(and the lord did).

[bodkin]

Cheers Ros, Cheers Ian,

You don't sound like I would imagine

Me neither! Very disappointed, I sound just like John Hurt in my head. Just out of interest, and I know I shouldn't ask, how did you think I would sound?

Like a salty old sea dog, retired military type, or possibly bluff country squire with an interest in anthropology?

'Fraid so

[Nash]

Oh, how I'd love to have any of those voices, Ian! That'd be brilliant!

I'll have to get me some of those elocution lessons.

[Ros]

Must confess I had you down more as salty old sea dog, too. You sound very young.
