Manic Penpals Nostalgia... - Page 3 - Forever Delayed

Hi! I don't write on here much but am a frequent visitor.

I've had penpals since I was about 13, I got a few more a few years back but none of them are regular writers and I'd really like some Manics fans as penpals. If anyone's interested, let me know. I'll also go check out that link

I used to write to Laura in Northampton, Lucy in Ashburton in Devon, and Nicky in Newcastle - any of you still around?

I used to write to Kev who is on here, also Katy who wrote the 11th Commandment and was on Mastermind, Jay (AFL) and Janeybint who used to write Blind Solitude who became one of my best friends in the world, Erika who used to do Iconoclastic Glitter, Carly who did Caught in the Crossfire, a girl who lived near Oxford whose name escapes me, Michelle from Chesterfied, Jenny Kiwi the list goes on...

I used to occasionally write to Mary from Terrible Beauty zine as well as Rhiannon who contributed and used to sell MSP bootleg tapes. Also the girls from Tranquilised Icons. We used to chat on the phone from time to time. They also sent me a large cuddly horse that neighed for some reason! I had quite a long friendship with Joan from 'Ooh that Bass!' zine.

Can't remember if it were off Planet Sound or NME, but I did write to someone who was giving away loads of magazine cuttings about 10 years ago. Can't remember who it was, but they're probably on here somewhere so ta.

I still write to a girl who I met at a Manics gig in 1998. She isn't online which is good in a way. We probably wouldn't bother writing if she had access to here/facebook etc.

Wonder what Mary and Viv from Terrible Beauty Fanzine are up to these days.

In the last issue they said they had decided to start up a small independent record label. I think they did start another non MSP zine too.

Wonder if the record label ever took off.

I write to lots of people (snail mail) and most of them are online/on Facebook. I guess it's just a question of what you prefer... letters over emails for me any time!
