Letter from the Editor

Good evening, all! I'm pleased, proud, and more than slightly perturbed to report that this blog has been running successfully now for over a year!

First things first: I'm experiencing some slight trouble with my email at the moment, so if you have any tip-offs, please direct them to the new email address. If you've sent anything that hasn't thus far appeared on the blog, I would hugely appreciate a resend!

And while we're all here, I'm just curious to know a few things, so if you have a few minutes, please comment with your answers to the following questions:

• How did you first find this blog?
• Have you made the effort to see/listen to something that you otherwise wouldn't have after reading about it here?
• If so, what was it, and what did you think?
• How regularly do you check this blog?
• Do you consider this blog a useful resource, somewhat on the creepy side, deliciously between the two, or something else entirely?

While this whole affair did start off as an exercise in "if you want something doing, then do it yourself!", it has gradually changed into much more of a team affair. While I'm enormously grateful to all contributors for all tip-offs, I just want to do one more big thank you in particular to Anna, Carol, Eva, Geraldine, Hilary, Jo, and Polly! Between us, we've kept this blog pretty busy, I reckon. XD

So thank you for reading, and please note the new email address! ^_^
