Apologies for the server blip! It is here now. : D Thanks to quaedam (who did all that ribbon lettering), dipping_sauce, and the rest of you for working to the stricter guidelines this round. One of our better issues, I think. ^_^

Note that the June issue will be based on a sort of prompt list setup, as aforementioned – that will be up very shortly, so keep an eye out!

Happy reading–

Love,
the Editor
