Beginning last month, everyone who answered the survey had their
|
|
name thrown into a hat for a random drawing. Each month we'll give away
|
|
a prize of some great (or not-so-great) worth by drawing a name out of
|
|
the hat. Everyone who fills out and sends in a survey is eligible!
|
|
|
|
Oct. 1st was the first such drawing, and Dave Crumb of Chicago,
|
|
Illinois was selected to win Cinemark's claymation VGA/Soundblaster game
|
|
FREE DC! Congratulations, Dave!
|
|
|
|
The Nov. 1st prize will be three FREE month's of access of Cambridge,
|
|
Mass.'s mega BBS Channel 1. Check out the MONTHLY PRIZE GIVEAWAY

The results are in from the survey in the Sept. issue of STTS, and
|
|
tabulated below for a median score.
|
|
|
|
So far, the response rate has been tremendous. We've received responses
|
|
from all over the USA and several other countries including Canada,
|
|
South America, and France!
|
|
|
|
For those of you who've yet to respond, please do so now. Your response
|
|
will be greatly appreciated, and help shape the look, feel, and content
|
|
of the magazine in the months to come.
|
|
|
|
I'd like to thank everyone who responded. Each and every one of your
|
|
comments were read and taken into consideration.
|
|
|
|
In the survey, I asked the readers to rate the sections of the magazine
|
|
on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best and one being the worst. Here's
|
|
the averages, taken by adding all the scores for an indiviual section
|
|
(eg: fiction) and dividing it by the number of survey's received that
|
|
scored that section with something other than an "X" for no comment.
|
|
|
|
Magazine sections are ranked in order of scores, from highest to lowest:

Summary: Fiction and poetry seemed to prove the most popular, as I was
|
|
sure it would. Nothing really received *bad* scores, though,
|
|
which is promising. Of the reviews, the software reviews seem
|
|
to be ahead, the book and movie reviews seemed to be neck and
|
|
neck, and the CD reviews place a somewhat distant fourth.
|
|
|
|
What the above scores really *don't* tell is that the surveys
|
|
seemed to be divided into camps. There were several people that
|
|
read STTS mainly for fiction and poetry, and almost as many
|
|
people who read it exclusively for the reviews. Both groups
|
|
scored their interest group high while X'ing a "No Comment"
|
|
on the other sections.
|
|
|
|
Again, many thanks to those of you who took the time to fill out and
|
|
send in your surveys. If you haven't yet filled out the survey, you
|
|
still have time to do so.

Thanks for reading and, if you haven't already, please fill out the
