The Fiction Market Blog recently reviewed "From: Man_2579@companionsearch.org; To: Woman_1375@companionsearch.org" by Charles D. Phillips.

"Me? I decided to write in the genre that’s published in about six publications, mostly online, mostly with offbeat names like Toasted Cheese (I can just hear that conversation with my mother now: 'Hey, Mom! I’ve been published!' 'Where? Esquire? Atlantic Monthly?' 'Um. It’s an online journal. Called Toasted Cheese.' '….')." -zonkered.net Ed. Note: Looking forward to seeing a submission!

SnackyWombat at Minus Spine reviews "The Path to Mental Health" by Brandy Langenwalter: "It’s much quirkier and wryly funny (or funnily wry) than the clunky title suggests–and brings up an interesting question that I’ve been wondering about (not for the sake of my mental health but something that I’m writing): can supreme sanity and the subsequent lack of drama in fact cause insanity?" Read the rest here.

"I've decided to plan a different activity/practice for each day of the week … Monday – Writing Day – Fiction (use daily writing prompt from Toasted Cheese)" -This Girl Remembers

From the Forums:

[J]ust want to thank you, Baker, Beaver, Bellman, Billiard and Boots—so many "Bs"; have I forgotten anyone!?—for all the effort that goes into Toasted Cheese. It is very much appreciated. My first ever published story—a contest winner—appeared in your online literary journal shortly after I discovered Toasted Cheese, and now, thanks to your always-helpful "Absolute Blank" articles and the many writing resources offered here, I look forward to my first published story in a magazine. A local magazine, yes…but, still, a magazine. You have helped me to grow as a writer. Now…if I could just do something with the hundreds of pages of the "great American novel" that have been hiding in my desk drawer for years ;-) Again, thanks! -BJ

[E]lsewhere on these boards, somebody commended you for your site. I'd like to second those comments. I started this writing thing a couple of years ago and love your site. The writing prompts, contests, and these boards are a great way to motivate myself. Anytime I talk with somebody about writing, I always recommend that they check out Toasted Cheese. Thanks for making this available to us and keeping it going!! -sparky

Also taking a quick opportunity to jump on the praise bandwagon. I've always enjoyed the content, spirit of comraderie and even the physical layout found on this site. It's visually easy to navigate and easy on the eyes. -jenoonan

I agree with what everyone else is saying. All you TC people are doing a great job. "It's like a great school… with terrific sandwiches." ;) -Bethywoo
