It sounds like it was a really solid magazine, with lots of
good stories. I looked around some of the fictionmags
magazine lists and found a few content listings of some later
MSMMs:

and http://users.ev1.net/~homeville/msf/b14.htm#TOP
The first page links to content listings for January -
Setpember 1980, and all the novellas are by you. Lots of
other familiar names listed too. The second page covers all
the issues from then to 1985.

What sort of stuff would you discuss? How work was going and
where you were selling, that sort of thing?
It's great hearing you talk about your work at MSMM.
By the way, I just got some e-mail from an Italian who's
writing a thesis on "the double" in Lynds' work and wondered
if I knew of any books about him or had his e-mail address. I
said I didn't, but now I remember that his wife, a successful
writer, has a web site up. Does anyone remember the
URL?
