I want to try something slightly different for this issue. There
was an observation made in a (comparatively) recent _Russell's Reviews_
that some episodes of ongoing stories aren't always conductive...

Well, as #85 showed, it doesn't always survive. Branches are constantly
getting pruned off, either by things like Devastation, or like Channel's
"Oops, I broke reality" trick of ASH #15. We just happen to be following the
thread where things hold together, if only barely. :)
Dave Van Domelen, has an issue of Derek Radner's Journal ready to post,
plus LL&DD #7 is just about ready to go, but might space things out a bit to
give him time to work on the growing monster that is CSV Annual #2 without
having a big dry spell in between.

I've been thinking about this lately, and wondering
whether we ought to take more advantage of the medium
in which we write.
It would be easy, for example, for the writer of an
LNH story to provide a link to a page on the LNH
wiki site. That page could include a quick summary
of what the series is about (such as you provide here)
as well as a cast list and short descriptions of the
series' major story arcs.
The link would allow first-time readers to get caught
up quickly on the series, without giving long-time
readers another wall of text to scroll past.

Ash here:
Well thanks for the plug, good sir. Im fairly new to the whole online
publishing machine destroying my beloved print, but I appreciate the
consideration for the RACC awards.
(Future note: I'm decidedly female, and SW is very much anime in
print. Thanks!)
