Pieces of My Mind is a slash one-shot 90-page multimedia anthology, a sort of letterzine, of story fragments.

Submission Request

From an ad in Pop Stand Express:

Inspired by 'Cold Fish', this zine will contain fragments, story ideas, and other unfinished adult fiction. Any fandom will be welcome except K/S, and fragments of any length will be printed, although an author must contribute at least one full single-spaced page for a contributor's copy. Fragments or statements of interest should be received by year's end, or I'll either cancel or do this as a one-shot with my own Simon/Simon stuff.

From an ad in For Your Information #9:

Attention adult fiction writers; do you have a drawerfull of story fragments — stuff you were going to get back to when you had the time/inclination? POMM will publish your unfinished masterpieces (who knows, maybe they'll inspire someone to finish them!] Open to all fandoms except K/S. (If there's enough interest, this will become a regular series of zines). SASE for further info/to reserve.

Reactions and Reviews

A fan in 1992 has this comment:

I am reminded by a reader that there is another "unfinished story" letterzine out there, produced by Almost Foolproof Press. I have not seen this, so I don't know if letters and comments are offered on the stories or not, but: I do know that it is slash-oriented and for any fandom. This is called "Pieces of My Mind. Anyone who thinks they would enjoy this zine should contribute and subscribe, but I do have a personal caveat, however. I sent a fragment to this editor for her first issue. I was surprised to find out, six months later I that she had printed it in another zine (one that I would not have cared to appear in) without my permission or knowledge. And in spite of the fact, I had told her in my cover letter that this was a fragment (it was unedited, unrevised, and a major scene was missing). [1]
