Dear Meg;

Enclosed please find twenty-four thank you notes. Twenty-four tributes. Twenty-four works that you inspired.

When we made the call for our tribute issue, the response was a resounding Yes! Yes I have been taught and inspired by Meg! Yes I would be honored to contribute! Yes!

Twenty-four is a lot of stories! Please forgive the occasional error that might have made it through. The occasional mix of formats. The occasional imperfections. Twenty-four is a lot of stories. But the true cap here was how many people we managed to ask. The full set of Meg’s impact is even so much bigger. Apologies in advance to those we didn’t call, but please realize we know there are so many more than could be enclosed here, and we look forward to seeing all of you in our Submission Queue for the May issue.

Meg, NFFR is the house you built. It seems that the number one house rule is to passionately share and enjoy the love of flash fiction.  Like all the NFFR ideas of the past, this one was a collaboration. Audra, Karen, Misty, Mary, Constance and Al are happy to share it with you now. 

We hope you love it too,

Your Students and Fans.
