Editorial
The
Cabal explain why, yet again, this issue is not so much late as temporally
challenged. And Alison will probably add a couple of paragraphs telling you
all, yet again, how wonderfully talented her children are.
Five Go Mad In Mordor
Steve Davies and The Cabal
No! No! Not the Lord
of the Rings take-off! Run for the hills! Phone the SFWA copyright hit
squad!
Recapturing My Flaming
Youth
Rob Jackson
Rob re-emerges from
the forgotten depths of time to marvel at the wonders of the modern Internet,
in his first piece of fanac for over a decade.
Decking The Halls With
Thorazine

Inspired by
Alison's Christmas message to her subjects her friends and family, Patty
has let us know about her own family's misadventures throughout 2001
Lokta Plokta
We
decided it would be easier to edit the locs if we just deleted every second and
third word. Oddly, the letters actually seem to make more sense this way.
Does Your Gut Wobble When I Do
This?
Alison Scott
Alison shares some
musical and medical anecdotes. Funnily enough, she makes more sense with every
second and third word deleted, too.
