Sounds great. I love fiction.
I'm the apostate your bishop warned you about.

Actually, this is more akin to commentary on fiction that is claimed as fact, which makes it all the more derivative as well as banal and pointless.

It certainly brings the Blair Witch Project to mind, doesn't it?

I was looking forward to reading William Schryver's article on the Hor scroll, which was scheduled to appear in this issue.

Give it time. There is a sweet spot between the stigma of the Jack smack down and the irrelevance of the work when the scholarship has moved past him altogether. There you will find Will's publication.

Soon! Soon! Oh, I so hope soon!

The idea of Will's ideas being printed by anyone, but MI in particular, is just so fantastic. All those promises, and still... nothing! Heck, he may even make the front page of the DN. Wouldn't that be cool! On the front page of the most important newspaper in... well... the COB.

And the rebuttal... oh, my. We could certainly be anticipating a most impressive event!
