UTR - Letters published?

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Was wondering if any of you lovely people ever had a letter published in 'Underneath the Rock'? (I'd have tried, but the fanzine folded before I even got into the greatest band in the world!)

If so, how about pasting your letter (and it's response from Von!) here?
I'd love to know.

Thanks

I did. I wish I'd kept the magazine but we moved and it's gone. I wrote a `nice` letter and he wrote back that I was wonderful and we should get together for dinner sometimes. I was quite pleased.

Cool! Thanks! Found it - UTR #06 - page 9.

His reply to my note:

Dear Claire,
How wonderful you are. Maybe we should get together for dinner. At least it would annoy everyone in this Correspondence Thing who believes that being controversial necessarily attracts more attention. I'm sure the editor would thank you fulsomely if I had left him enough space to do so.

I did. It was part of the debate arising from the time some scumbag sent a copy of some neo-nazi propaganda in.

It was in UTR X (I think).

(nostalgic sigh) Definitely the high point of my highly overexcitable teens.
Very little of what you believe to be true is actually the case.

Sorry.

Yeah, unfortunately it's in storage with the rest of my stuff.
Months from now it may suddenly appear here.

As promised, months later - my letter from UTR 14
Had to type in a part of this for zaltys7 under the "Who should Sisters duet with?" thread, but decided, mainly due to length of Eldritch's reply, that it would be far better scanned.
Will edit this with the URL once QB gets round to posting the scans.

Horrible "brown nosing" on my part by the way, but I was a lot younger back then!

Here is my letter:

UTR #02 - page 02

In my defense I wrote it well before UTR was being published! :innocent:
You still think swastikas look cool
