Weekly progress report: TQR

Dear Investors,

Three weeks in to the first quarter, and all is well, mostly. The submissions continue to trickle in at about an average of one per day now. Not blistering by any means, but we seem to have enough terminaled stories right now to be able to get 3 good enough to be called Capital Gains.

The Rorschalk Group went off without a hitch. Stephen Crane, the next 'Big Thing' and Hemingway's The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber were all given a thorough going over by msyelf, Gabby D and Boligard. Some ad lib riffing on the state of staff participation in the process was thrown in for good measure. You may read all about it in Transcript.

I have started a blog to supplement the inside views of the processes and faux pas going on within these hallowed walls. Please visit and drop a line: www.tqrzinester.blogspot.com/. Please visit and make your presence known.

TQR recently made its presence known on the short story discussion board of the fine online writer's workshop at http://www.zoetrope.com/. One poster questioned the sincerity and aptitude of TQR and its staff. However, Margaret Lonsdale came to TQR's defense with a brilliant synopsis of the TQR ethos. You may reference her reply at The Rorschalk Test blog mentioned in the former paragraph, under the post heading 'There is no such thing as bad publicity'.

In the near future, the Terminali will come awake and alive and fill the Terminal with enlightening and energetic capital discussions. This is my surefire tip of the week. Hear me now! Believe me later.

Sincerely, Theodore Q. Rorschalk
