Letters to magazines and such

[Wind]

First I apologize if it's a repeated thread/in the wrong forum/whatnot (you never know with me )

Anyway I just noticed my letter got published on the last HunterxHunter comic (no good looking for it unless you're Italian, though)
I had forgot I wrote it, it was like, March? I read it and though, hey, this girl has got the same name as me. I'm sooo dumb.
Of course I didn't expect it to be published, it was just two lines to explain how to pronounce the title. Which makes it a bit unfair, cause I've written best stuff to a lot of magazines and it's never been published.
All the same.

Has any of you written to a magazine and got the letter published?
Do you believe to the stuff people say in their letters? I mean those "Heart Advice", "Write to Sally", etc. Most of those seem a bit far-fetched to me, it's probably the reader having fun at writing crap.

I wonder how many people say Hunter "ex" Hunter, or Hunter times Hunter.

I've even heard people say Hunter squared. o.0

When I was little, I was a member of the Wishbone Fan Club. There was a newsletter that came every month or so, and I got my letter answered in it. ;o

Mm... I had a joke published in the L.A. Times Kids' Section when I was a lot younger. When I was a few years older (okay, fine, like 13), there was a prompt of "What would the world be like if there were no adults?" and I was feeling snarky and bored, so I wrote a page-long essay, and part of it ended up getting published.

More seriously, I got an editorial published a few weeks ago in the L.A. Daily News, and I wrote a feature article that should be coming out soon for the first issue of a local paper.

(How is "HunterxHunter" supposed to be pronounced? I've never even heard of it.)

If you thinkabout how many millions of different horoscopes for your sign or whatever are written each day, at least one of them should be true

Ok, enough of that randomness, I've written to things occasionally but never gotten published.

I did once send in something to the West Australian once, you know those pages where people can send in their opinions and they publish some of them? Well I sent something into that (REally long) and I got a call from some newspaper person and they turned it into an article

(twas also on 60minutes, current affair, several other newspapers, chanel 10,9,7 news and loads of radios, but thats pishposh )

I've never gotten something with my name in it published though Thats pretty cool, If i ever enter compettions to win something I always try and gloss it up so it'll be more likely to be chosen (heh, won a john marsden book that way) so yeh I dont reckon all of the things people write in are true

I once sent a comic to a Dutch magazine (VPRO-gids, for those who know it) and it got in I was about 7 or 8 I guess, so I was very proud.

(I always have troubles pronouncing xxxHolic )

Hunter x Hunter is a Japanese manga comic xP And it's just pronounced Hunter Hunter ... or more accurately, "Hanta Hanta" o.O

(HunterHunter's going USA now, but I wouldn't mind getting a codec and start torrenting some of the anime.)

Precisely And it says so on the japanese cover (if you can read kana) *puts out geek face*

About the horoscopes, yeah, that's true, but 99.99% of them are false so why bother?

Because if you believe in horoscopes, then you can believe that fate will lead you to the correct one XD

Never had a letter published, but when I was in fourth grade, I drew a picture of an elephant that was printed in the city's newspaper.

I once got a high score in Pokemon Snap printed in an issue of Nintendo Power. I have no idea what issue it was in though anymore.

When I was younger I got the "funfax" magazine. There was a competition to appear in a comic strip, and I won it, so it was a comic strip with my head dubbed on top of it

I was the "Triangle Mouth Kid" lol
