IMAGINATION! #7 38 Apr WHY STF WRITERS GO NUTS by Jack Coburn The author of this mythicorrespondence is a wellknown writer whose work apears in several the major inaginativ mags. It will be obvious upon reading the article why he employs a pseudonym in this instance. Mr. G. O'Conor Campinger Editor, Aweful Stories. Dear Mr. Campinger: I am submitting herewith a manuscript, "Putrid Planet". Hope you like it. Sincerely yours, Ernest Awther. Mr. Awther: I have read "Putrid Planet" with interest but regret it doesn't come down to the standard of Aweful Stories. However, it has a good idea & if you wish to rewrite it we shall be glad to consider it again. Cordially, Campinger. Dear Mr. Campinger: Here is "Putrid Planet" back with the changes you suggested. E. Awther. Dear Mr. Awther: Due to a reorganization. . .Mr. Campinger no longer is the editor of Aweful Stories but instead now edits 40 Gun Western. Our requirements also have been altered & I regret I cannot find "Putrid Planet" acceptable: All our heroes now have beards & we require love interest. I hope you can fix your story to fit our new policy. Truly, WFWeisbell. Dear Mr. Weisbell: I have rewritten "Putrid Planet" again. Here it is. Awther. Dear Mr. Awther: We are glad to accept "Putrid Planet". We now pay 1/10c on publication. Weisbell. Dear Mr. Weisbell: OK. Dear Awther: A new development: We are contemplating publishing a quarterly. "Putrid Planet" is the type tale we need for the new venture so we are holding it, this note to explain delay in its appearance. Vol 1 No 1 is skeded for Winter. Dear Mr W: Whatever you think best.
