Lines: 61 ADMIN: This is mainly a note to let people know that I am still operating the This Week In Review feature. However, considering there's been little additions to it since the first week (possibly mainly my own fault, for slacking off because time sometimes has been having its way with me), I'm going to ask for updates before posting it again, and aim for it coming out every Friday from now on. For now, I'll first provide a list of features, in case you're unfamilar with them, or have just plain forgotten them (small :-)!): First, there's a list of new chars into Generica (so far I've only seen one newcomer, who's yet to be named). And there will be also a list of people in the Dragon's Inn itself (which I'm currently unsure of, beyond the inn's staff). If you feel you belong in either list, feel free to e-mail me. I usually pick everything up, but since my site isn't 100% dependable, neither will these lists be without help... After that will be the thread listings, downsized summaries of the threads that are going on. The format on these (as you'll see next Fri) varies quite a bit, but an example is worthwhile. And out of pure bias (:-)!), I'll use my own thread... [BBD] Contact: Mike Sander (344lwkc@cmuvm.csv.cmich.edu) Chars Involved: BBD, Lancos & cat Bast (Mike Sander); Myrnien, Kaalzic (Dan Peters); Tarkyn (Barry Prismall); Gutt Man (The Dreamer) Brief Overview: Focuses on Myrnien's attempt to free herself from the bracelet that controls her, and BBD's thoughts of regaining leadership from Velric. Ties in with the [DS] thread. Which reminds me -- I might also do a little "cleaning up", dependant on response. I have listings for (besides BBD) [Colony]/[NTY], [DS] (Darkseed), [Earthshock], [MI] (Moriarty Investigations), [Ornigan], [Pitzar], [SQ] (Shade Quest), [Tolvaj], and [VampQ]. MI & Pitzar will probably be kept as long as their creators are around, but besides the two I'm involved with (BBD&DS), I haven't seen anything since coming back from break from most of these. So I'd appreciate updates on these, and any additions I can get from threads I haven't listed. If I don't hear from the creators (besides for the 4 thread I singled out two sentences ago), I'll keep the entries in a separate file, until when/if I see signs of life (so to speak). Also, if anyone wants the info I have currently, let me know. If I get enough (heck, maybe _any_) demand, I'll post the listings I have Monday. Anyway, finally there will be thread summaries. This is a rather important feature, especially for those who can't keep up with everything going on. (That may seem a strange statement currently, but hopefully things will pick up). Just providing what occurred in the last week (or in the case of the first TWIR, since X-mas) is sufficent, although nothing's stopping going back as far as you like. Basically, I'll take what I can get (especially since I know there will be weeks where threads don't get off a post)... Submissions will be "due" Friday at 2PM (Eastern). And I use the word due loosely because if I get a few things after the deadline, I'll either repost or put on a supplement. Anyway, I've blabbered enough... Now, the ball is in your court...
