Hello Rumpus,

Just a quick question … I ordered some items from the Rumpus shop a couple of weeks ago: 2 mugs (write like a mother fucker) a copy of Stephen’s book (adderall diaries) and a poster (sugar says). The two mugs arrived (hooray!), but the book and poster have not. Are those items back-ordered? Please and thank you.

Sincerely,
Traci Fowler

Yes, I'm familiar with the Rumpus, a very interesting read. Better than some other more expensive magazines I have subscribed to. Jaz

I’d love to see a fiction section sooner than later! You publish such fantastic writing that I think you could publish fiction pieces that would rock your website just as much as the rest of your stuff does! I just read The Optimism of Being a Dope Fiend by Fiona Helmsley and was enraptured (I am aware that that piece is non-fiction). Please, I’m begging you. The Rumpus needs fiction!

Do you republish things that we write for other websites? Esp. if the original piece was also done freelance and not for pay?

Hey guys, just wondering if the Rumpus app is still running. I haven’t received an update since March 11. No huge deal, I got my 99 cents worth, just wondering what happened to it.

Dear Internet,

I apologize for my grave mistake. I had had far to many Smirnoff Ices and lost control. Firstly, I thought I had logged into my own Twitter account. I had not. Secondly, I intended to write “I want girl pens,” referring to those fun pens where you tip them and the woman’s swimsuit slides off. The unintentional inclusion of the letter “i” changed the meaning of what I wrote forever. It was one mistake after another last night. Especially what happened at 3:22 AM.

Sincerely,
Ted

@juliannechat Ted Wilson was over my house last night and got ahold of my twitter account. He’ll be happy to hear that someone saw his handy work.

Just noted Isaac Fitzgerald tweeting about girl penis. It was a terrific 3-tweet cascade of Twitter standup, transgressive multigenerational blah blah, but then he deleted it almost immediately. Hope the Library of Congress caught it at least! Isaac, let’s try to enjoy that fact that privacy is over…

It may be 2am there but here in the Pacific Northwest we’re just getting started with our evening of online stalking and the Aussies are thinking about leaving work early (on FRIDAY) for the weekend.

I’m a long time fan of Stephen’s and have been thrilled to find the site. I’ll write again when I have anythina say.

Julianne
