Issue 21, now published!

2005-04-09 [font]: In linguistics we associate language with who uses it; so any ‘use of language’ can now be considered proper, it just uses a different grammatical structure.

2005-04-09 [All_Most PUNK]: Well, yes. But there are still rules to be followed inside a society and in a particular time/place that dictate that some things are "wrong".

2005-04-09 [hanhepi]: i use "whom" once in a great while. gennerally only if i am writing a buisness letter or handling a buisness call. i use it on bill collectors as well. it really freaks a bill collector out when you use prople grammer on them. :D

2005-04-23 [hanhepi]: well crap. i need the password for this page so i can add this to the list o wiki's:" Advice Wannabees - the newest advice section, featuring multiple points of views on your problem, from the newest advisors!"

2005-05-02 [adamo luna]: I'm watchin' it! O,O . . .

2005-05-06 [wiccanmaiden]: english is so difficult precisely because of the limited vocabulary, the same word has so many meanings (depending on its context among other things) that it is becoming increasingly dialectual... lol is that a word? (maybe dialectic?) hmm well it should be!

2005-05-07 [spiritee]: EXACTLY. English isn't half as expressive as, say, Chinese. some Chinese books make me cry, and the same subject in English is like..."eh."

2005-05-07 [adamo luna]: ... oO er... I have the same thing with english/norwegian. I figure English is much richer and more beautiful than Norwegian. But it's just because I'm born a hate-my-country viking ^^

2005-05-07 [Elegy - gone]: huh, there really are a lot of english-loving-hate-my-country vikings out there... we should make a club =P

2005-05-07 [adamo luna]: :p we should indeed!

2005-07-30 [Sunrose]: Love the new issue The Town Herald - Issue 11! And I think I like it better on the wikis...anyways, great job you all! ^^

2005-07-31 [pixish]: ^____^ Thank you for the feedback lovely :P

2005-11-11 [moonscale]: I speak three languages fluently and I think that the way it sounds or the beauty of the words depends on the person, not the language. Some one once told me that when I or any one else spoke Spanish it sounds like music. My cousin said that Englisch has to many synonyms, but he speaks Deutsch (German)

2005-11-25 [x____iCloudy]: Umm.. How do you become a Heralder? *.~

2005-11-25 [Kaimee]: Herald Hopefuls ;)

2005-12-02 [Dreamseller]: I am searching for medical personel for the Elftown Army. Anybody that is interested is to message me.

2005-12-02 [Dreamseller]: Hm.....was my other message deleted? O_O

2005-12-03 [Kaimee]: Possibly, if it was spam too :)

2005-12-03 [Dreamseller]: No it wasn't. I was trying to recruit members for the Elftown Army. XD

2005-12-04 [Kaimee]: That's spam. Don't do it again, we'll start to delete it :)

2005-12-04 [Dreamseller]: That's spam? O_O

2005-12-04 [Kaimee]: Spam: unsolicited advertisements. You were advertising on an official page. The rest is obvious :P

2005-12-04 [Dreamseller]: :p Sorry. It won't happen again. :D

2006-02-07 [krauser]: i don't no?!

2006-04-18 [dmeredith]: I noticed that 13 is up but not linked to this page. Is there a reason for that?

2006-04-19 [Kaimee]: Kaimee always forgets to update this page? ;)

2006-04-19 [True, plain and simple]: Shame on j00!

2006-05-07 [pink floyd]: hi

2006-05-07 [Kaimee]: This isn't exactly the place to chat, sorry! :)

2006-05-18 [Chrysilla]: i see it`s taking too long for the issue 14 to be ready! i`m so impatient to see it done....

2006-05-18 [Sunrose]: No they didn't. Issue 11 was in July 05, issue 12 was in January 06, issue 13 was in April 06. Writing comments like yours to those who spend their free time volunteering to make these issues is VERY disrespectful.

2006-05-18 [Kaimee]: And stupid. And instead of repyinhg to stupidfacegirlorboy im goningf to go pass ouutv on a grounds. yeah, free timem herald, so going ot happen when am sober.

2006-05-18 [Kaimee]: oh god

2006-05-18 [Chrysilla]: i had the impression that the last issues appeared faster. no need to insult, it was just a question, i wasn`t blaming anyone....*rolls eyes* elves are calmer as far as i know... and me too, even if i`m only human...

2006-05-18 [Chrysilla]: and i don`t see anything disrespectful in what i said, i`m just impatient and that`s an obvious sign i like the herald... *sigh*

2006-05-18 [Sunrose]: But obviously they didn't appear faster (at all) and you could've known that if you had simply checked. I think you are being disrespectful: You could've simply stated you can't wait to see the next issue, but instead your comment makes it seem as if the hard workers here don't work hard enough for you. // Ignore what [Kaimee] writes, she has had too much to drink tonight :p

2006-05-19 [Kaimee]: ...omg, I don't remember writing that. I"m so sorry. I didn't mean to refer to you as "stupidfaceboyorgirl" o.o;;

2006-05-19 [Sunrose]: *grins* :P

2006-05-20 [Chrysilla]: okay i`ll just delete my comment then...

2006-05-20 [Chrysilla]: satisfied now?... *sigh*

2006-05-22 [Sunrose]: No, it still says 'too' long :) You don't have to change it on my account though.

2006-05-22 [Kaimee]: Shushup sunny, I'm just glad we have readers, no need to get snippy with them ;)

2006-05-22 [The Red Baron]: We have readers? Since when?

2006-05-22 [Sunrose]: Sorry :x

2006-05-22 [Kaimee]: I know 7th, a shock to me too ;) And we lubs you sunny :P

2006-05-22 [Sunrose]: Hey, I read it too! And even comment (non snippyness :P) :D lol *glomps*

2006-05-22 [Kaimee]: Yes but you're like, super girl o.o I meant normal people :P

2006-05-22 [Sunrose]: Pff hardly :)

2006-06-23 [mighty zeus]: hi people

2006-06-24 [Kaimee]: Hiya, this isn't really a place to chat because it's an official page that lot's of people watch... :P

2006-08-10 [jellybabies89]: Is anyone else having problems geting into their gmail accounts??

2006-08-11 [Kaimee]: This really isn't the place to ask that, this is the place for Herald related questions and comments :)

2006-08-14 [Chrysilla]: Okay... there are more than 3 months since the previous issue... *sigh*

2006-08-14 [spincrus]: I'd imagine it takes quite some effort to prepare an issue, but it'll become more of a semi-annual thing rather than a quarterly "publication" if it doesn't come out soon :P Can we have at least a small hint on the progress?

2006-08-14 [Kaimee]: Im sorry, I do the actual production stuff and Ive had my brother die recently, so I'm not really getting much opportunity to get online at the moment. We'll get it all taken care of asap though. The next issue is well along the way, and if I weren't being such a spanner in the works it could be out any day. I really will get onto it as soon as I can :)

2006-08-14 [The Red Baron]: With the war that was raging on my end of the line, I was unable to do anything for 30 days.

2006-08-15 [Chrysilla]: ohhh i'm sorry Kaimee. In that case I'll keep waiting patiently :)

2006-08-15 [spincrus]: Good to hear you're on the job Kaimee, and good to hear Nazgul is in one piece.

2006-09-02 [Darkfly170]: Hi people,I'm new! I have never read an issue of this yet, but kudos to the artist of Issue 13! I like it alot!!!

2006-09-03 [Kaimee]: That would be [selardorart]! You can find a special article on her at TH 13 Featured Artist - Selardorart if you want to check it out. It's got a lot more of her art and such :)

2006-09-03 [The Red Baron]: Thanks [spincrus]. It takes more than missiles, jets, tanks, and frigates to destroy yours truly. My inner Phoenix bows before none but God Almighty. No matter, what's the new issue aboot?

2006-09-04 [pixish]: Arabian Nights :) It has not been released yet.

2006-09-06 [The Red Baron]: Wow; modern Lebanese nights are so far away from Shehrazade's world of tales... torn is the magic carpet, rusty is the magic lamp, slain is the genie within, the 40 thieves have overrun the land.....

2006-09-07 [Kaimee]: Go ahead and write a piece about it for the upcoming issue then 7th! I see you have a bit of spare time at the moment, what with all the commenting, so we'd love to see a submission from you this time round! :) But shhhh, no chatting on official pages!

2006-09-07 [spincrus]: With the poll going on, from the looks of it not many know of the herald. Not just that, but many, MANY features on Elftown. They're just coded/created and implemented, and hidden away. Navigation is hard on ET. I think you should bring this issue up to [Hedda].

2006-09-09 [Kaimee]: Ahh, but for people who read the news, finding out about new/continuing ET happenings is easy and almost failsafe ;) Do you have an idea for some way to improve the method of contacting the people too lazy/uninterested in reading the news without flooding their inbox with official spam? If you have a good idea, feel free to contact [Hedda] yourself or comment in the support forums.
And now, Please cease chatter on this page unless specifically related to the Herald! ;)

2006-09-10 [dmeredith]: Is talking about ET promotion not specifically related to the Herald? Maybe you should specify what is and is not official Herald business. I tend to think that getting people to actually read the thing IS integrally related.

2006-09-11 [Kaimee]: Herald advertisment is Herald business. How ET is organised is not ;) Suggestions of that sort can go in the suggestions forums. This page is for specific Herald talk, preferably about the issues and articles, or what you'd like to see more of :)

2006-09-11 [iippo]: Could the themes/issue names of the non-wiki Herald issues be written on this page as well? Like 12 has "music of life" reading next to it, could 10 have "the future cyberpunk and sci-fi" and so on so forth...? Could get new people to read the old issues when they see the topic they like.

2006-09-11 [Kaimee]: Very good idea! :D

2006-09-11 [Faery]: Maybe we could associate with [Happy Birthday] and put a link to the Herald in the message...

2006-09-11 [Kaimee]: We don't ususally associate with other wikis, but anyone can add links to other wikis and ET projects in the classifieds section :)

2006-09-11 [Faery]: What I mean is, since Happu Birthday sends a message to each and every elftowner on their birthday, if the link to the herald is in the said message, everyone would get a reminder once a year...

2006-09-11 [Kaimee]: I so have no objection to that, because it's wonderful advertising, but sunny runs happy birthday doesn't she? If she wants to volunteer it, of course it'd be great, but otherwise.. :P

2006-09-11 [Faery]: Of course, but we could ask her...

2006-09-11 [Kaimee]: Go ahead :P

2006-11-06 [Janouk]: Hey, what's going to happen to the thing I did not mention? ^^

2006-11-06 [Kaimee]: When the people working on the clues are finished it will be announced... until then, shh! It's secret! ;)

2006-11-06 [Janouk]: Oh, ok!
*sneaks to previous comment and deletes :)*

2006-11-28 [hanhepi]: just checkin in. still alive, but too poor to fix comp. :( miss yall.

2006-11-29 [The Red Baron]: Speaking of being too poor to fix computers, my laptop died on me yesterday and I'm in the same boat as you are. Damn! Almost all the stuff I study is on it...

2006-11-29 [Diiwica]: What is wrong with your laptop.. I know it is strange to ask, but It culd be something that could be fixed easily...

2006-11-30 [The Red Baron]: It's a long story and this comment box is not the place for it.

2006-12-03 [Chrysilla]: I have some suggestions... but there`s kind of much to say... should i go on and post everything here or just message [Kaimee]?

2006-12-03 [The Red Baron]: sending her a message would be more apropriate methinks.

2006-12-03 [Chrysilla]: me thanks you ^_^

2006-12-03 [The Red Baron]: you is welcome

2006-12-25 [I'm off elftown now!]: Just a question or idea, which ever, We have poetry corners and Art corners but what about story corners? sounds a bit like a kindergarden, but I was just wondering. have I missed something?

2007-05-25 [The Red Baron]: Roger that. So, what happened to the Arabian Nights issue?

2007-05-26 [Mordigen]: It's being published on the 29th

2007-05-26 [The Red Baron]: I hope our articles have been delivered to you?

2007-05-26 [Kaimee]: Yes they have, you should look forward to seeing them published in the upcoming issue :)

2007-05-26 [Kaimee]: Koala, themed short-fiction is ususally considered for featuring as long as you get it to a Heralder within a good amount of time :) Keep an eye on the upcoming issues and themes, and if you have anything you should contact [Mordigen] or [Kaimee]

2007-05-26 [The Red Baron]: Roger roger (someone remove that battle droid out of my head!)

2007-05-29 [shotokan_gal]: Just fixed the image link.

2007-05-30 [Kaimee]: I'll post the pdf and this link in the news when I get home :)

2007-08-03 [ally]: Mmm there seems to be a typo in the link to issue 15. It leads to an empty wiki.

2007-08-03 [irulan]: Fixed! :)

2007-08-04 [iippo]: And the links to Herald issues 1-10 are dead.

2007-08-04 [Mordigen]: it's because of the recent switch over to the .com domain instead of the lysator --- there's been a template tag entered to change any of the olde lysator links over to the .com domain, so everytime we try to correct it it's automatically switched over, BUT because the Herald was built outside of et on the Lysator, they were not switched over to the domain with everything in inside ET....so there sort of stuck, i'm going to post a comment about it the Bug forum though to see if they can be switched over to the domain also, or if we can get a tag to allow us to succesfully post the original lysator links without them automatically being changed :/

2007-08-06 [Perplexity]: Very much enjoying the newest issue, everyone. Thank you for all your hard work!

2007-08-06 [Mordigen]: Thankya Thankya ^_^ -- oh, and iippo - the links have all been taken care of, they should be working now :)

2007-09-30 [iippo]: Would you mind if I added keywords to the articles of the past wiki-issues of the Herald? (I'm feeling idle and I noticed none of them have keywords at all :C Keywords would make them findable to people in and out of ET)

2007-09-30 [Mordigen]: i dont mind it :) but i think maybe you should wait to here from kaimee too...:/

2007-10-03 [Kaimee]: Oh, I never mind when people want to do lovely helpful things, I just then subsequently work them to death >:P Go ahead :)

2007-10-03 [Jitter]: The image “http://www.elftown.com/stuff/The_Town_Herald_16_cover.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

2007-10-03 [Jitter]: Nice :3

2007-11-13 [Hedda]: The URLs like
http://www.elftown.com/herald/th10/
don't work right now after the upgrade. The files where in a strange place that I totally forgot to copy, so they are on a disconnected harddisk now.

2007-11-13 [Hedda]: I'll fix as soon as I figure out a simple way to do it.

2007-11-14 [Kaimee]: Thankyou, it's not too urgent but it would be nice if they worked :)

2007-11-14 [Hedda]: They are working now!

2007-11-14 [Duke Devlin]: Yay ^^ It was noticed ^^ And noted ;)

2008-05-26 [Chimes]: Anyone have any idea when the next Herald will be out?

2008-05-28 [Mordigen]: Hopefully before father's day :-/. I know that's not much of a promise, but currently *all* the heralders are having some real-life priorities take over ..... we are all still here, and working....it's just going much more slowly than usual.

2008-05-28 [Chimes]: Fair enough. :] Life stuff = more important, as a rule. :]

2008-05-28 [Mordigen]: :)

2008-05-28 [Chimes]: Or at least I reckon it should be. Who knoooows. ^^

2008-07-15 [Chimes]: Wow, that cover is STUNNING!

2008-07-15 [Imperator]: *stunned*

2008-07-20 [Ramirez]: I wonder if you guys would be interested maybe in adding another little section. Like perhaps during the gardening seasons or right before them suggestions of types of flowers and whatnot to plant, or gardening supplies/decorations that can maybe be bought through Elftown. Having people design some fairies or toads or something that can go in gardens for decorations, and the money can go towards keeping Elftown running so that anyone can donate designs for the benefit of Elftown. (I'm not sure of the actual costs of making such items though).

Or maybe another section about vacation spots that are outdoor-sy and have people review them who have been there and/or write about the history of them. Have maybe National Parks or other vacation spots. Who knows, just been thinking about the Herald a lot and how great an idea it was. I wish I had started reading it right away when it came out. Now I'm trying to catch up. XD

2008-07-20 [Chimes]: If you're interested in helping out yourself... maybe you should suggest it on Herald Hopefuls.
You may stand a chance of joining us. ^^

2008-07-20 [Ramirez]: I would actually really like to apply for a position, but I'm also starting college soon and I'm not sure how much time I'll have to invest in the position I'd like. And I don't think they'd appreciate it I joined and then had to take a leave of absence while I got my stuff down for college. =/

2008-07-20 [Chimes]: Then maybe you should submit some Herald Guest Submissions:]

2008-07-20 [Ramirez]: -gasps- Maybe I should! I'll look into it. Thanks. =D

2008-07-20 [Hendercrazy]: Yes, the Herald is always looking for new ideas and material! Way to "Chime"-in there [Chimes]. :P :) Sorry, couldn't resist that. Anywaaay... *walks off whistling*

2008-07-20 [Imperator]: Yes, I do like your suggestions [Ramirez]. I could contribute something about Florida for the vacation thingy. :-)

2008-07-20 [Chimes]: Ibiza for me.

Ahaha! Hender that was brilliant! :D

2008-07-21 [Mordigen]: Ramirez -- Thanks so much for the suggestions. Unfortunately, the Herald as no sway on ET merchandise or donations made through them -- that is something you would have to suggest and talk to [Hedda] about the reality of that idea before bringing it to the Herald :) 
And - We do already have a travel section included, that was written by [Faery], and even though she is retired now, she is still writing guest submissions for us from time to time --- so if you have anything to contribute to that, that is something we could definately feature since we already had it included in past issues :) 
So if you, or anyone else, has anything travel related - you can definately check out Herald Guest Submissions and send it over :D

2008-07-21 [Ramirez]: All right, I can go to the Suggestions forum and see if [Hedda] approves or disapproves of the idea. =D

And I haven't quite read all the Herald yet, so that must be why I didn't come across [Faery]'s traveling section. My apologizes! DX

2008-07-21 [Mordigen]: Hey, no problem - but the point was, since we have that section included, of course we'd take submissions for it ;D so you can send anything you have our way

2008-07-21 [Ramirez]: All right, I'll keep that in mind. =D

[Hedda] also decided that selling those things would be pointless since Elftowns Merchandise isn't selling very well as it is and doesn't want to have to bother with something else that will more than likely not sell well.

2008-07-22 [Mordigen]: Yes, I saw the conversation in the Suggestion forum. Makes sense though, but thankyou for the update and the suggestion anyhow :) We appreciate it!

2008-07-22 [Ramirez]: You're welcome. ^^ I hope that one day I can have the time to apply for a part of the Herald. Maybe some time after college starts for me and I know for sure I'll have time and some openings are waiting I'll apply. =D

2008-08-04 [Imperator]: Shouldn't "Issue 16, now published!" be "17"? And there's a ">" under the picture...

2008-08-04 [Mordigen]: Yes, it should be -- I thought I corrected that, thanks :)

and where is the ">" ? I do not see it :/

2008-08-05 [Imperator]: Uh... It's gone now. Never mind. :-)

2008-11-30 [Venus 53]: Gah thanks guys, now you've gotten me onto Steampunk! This could be dangerous... =P

2008-11-30 [Imperator]: :D

2008-12-01 [Mordigen]: So now that we have infected you with our theme, why don'tyou contribute! XD

2008-12-02 [Venus 53]: ...I can't think of anything I can do =( Will try to come up with something though... =)

2008-12-02 [Tynuka-Rhytishy]: Sorry I'm applying so much. I've been wanting to write for ages and I can't get enough time for a novel. So, I decided articles will clench my addiction. xD

2008-12-05 [Chimes]: *is dying with lack of internet... is currently in a lesson at college* I'll be back tonight! I hope.

2009-02-13 [PandorasMango]: Waiting for the PDeeeeefff! ^^

2009-02-14 [Venus 53]: Indeed. Me also.

2009-02-18 [Mordigen]: I'm sorry folks, but the PDF versions wont be available for the past issues, or the upcoming ones for quite a while. We just don't have the staff do get everything done that we have to do now already, on top of workin gon a PDF :( 

2009-02-18 [Tynuka-Rhytishy]: What is PDF, if I may ask? =s

2009-02-18 [Chimes]: It's a file type. :)

2009-02-18 [True, plain and simple]: [Mordigen] - If you supply the content, I can always fire up Acrobat and produce a PDF version for you if you want.

2009-02-18 [Tynuka-Rhytishy]: Oh. Thank you. =] I should've figured. << But, oh well. xD

2009-02-19 [Mordigen]: Thankyou for the help True :) Unfortunately, it's getting the content ready that is so time consuming XD

2009-03-20 [Imperator]: The picture is broken... And what's up with the new divider bars? What's wrong with the old ones?

2009-03-20 [SilverFire]: You mean the cover image? It still works fine for me. :/ (and even if you don't mean the cover image, all the pictures on this page still work fine for me o.O)

2009-03-20 [Chimes]: They all work fine for me too.

2009-03-21 [Imperator]: Now the cover is fine. Hmmmm. But still, what about the divider bars? I liked the old ones better. These new ones don't fit the color scheme.

2009-03-21 [SilverFire]: What colour scheme?

2009-03-21 [Chimes]: There is no colour scheme... and the old ones were huge... and kinda tacky looking... :/ *shrugs* I like these better. The page looks more professional.

2009-03-22 [Tynuka-Rhytishy]: 'Color scheme' is green. I think that's what [Imperator] meant at least. The background, links, and other stuff is either black or green.

2009-03-22 [SilverFire]: That's Elftown's colour scheme, not the Herald's. *shrug*

2009-03-22 [Chimes]: The Herald used to have gold dividers... so if it were the green... that would break it too...

2009-03-22 [Tynuka-Rhytishy]: Well, I learned a little history then. =D I didn't know the Herald had a color scheme all it's own. =3

2009-03-22 [Chimes]: Neither did I... hence why I'm confused at Imperator's comment. :P

2009-03-23 [Tynuka-Rhytishy]: Touche!

2009-03-24 [Imperator]: These don't match the gold emblem thingy at the top of the page, that's what I meant by "theme"... :P

2009-03-24 [SilverFire]: I think they do. <_<

2009-03-24 [Chimes]: They look fine. :P And if need be we have back ups, or tweaking the colours in the emblem would work too... :P But that's only in dire need. The current ones look good, better than the old ones.

2009-03-25 [Imperator]: Can't we have them be the same shade of gold/yellow in the emblem?

2009-03-25 [Chimes]: ... Well, these were from Elftown graphics. We could change 'em for the other ones we have... buuut, I don't really think it's worth it... :/

2009-03-25 [Imperator]: I don't like these! :'-( Waaaaa!! They just don't match!

2009-03-25 [Chimes]: The old ones didn't either... and they were huge and missing outlines in places, this is a vast improvement. :P
If it really bugs you that much and others agree, I could change 'em to these, or someone else could, if they have the patience/time:
(Probably at the weekend)

2009-03-26 [Tynuka-Rhytishy]: -laughs at the argument-

2009-03-26 [Chimes]: It's not an aaaargument. :P It's a discussion. ^^ Unless Imperator thinks it's an argument... then we are at a confusing mesh of pathways. XD

2009-03-26 [Tynuka-Rhytishy]: lol. argument = discussion* then. =D

2009-03-26 [Imperator]: Mesh of pathways? I prefer catwalks but whaaaateve'. I do like the divider you put in your comment a lot better than these though.

2009-03-26 [SilverFire]: Think I got them all.

2009-03-26 [Imperator]: Yay! That does look much better. Don't ya think?

2009-03-27 [Chimes]: Well, they'll match the issues now, so it must be a good thing. :]

2009-06-15 [SilverFire]: Showing front cover beforehand = fail.

2009-06-15 [Kaimee]: Check through the page histories, the front cover has often been shown beforehand to give people a taste of what we'll be putting out :P

2009-06-15 [SilverFire]: And that stops it being fail... how? <_<

2009-06-15 [Kaimee]: As I said, it gives people a taste of what well be releasing for the next issue. Any way of generating interest is good, especially for the Herald which is in a constant state of needing it! :P
Personally, I find it more interesting to see the upcoming cover and go "Hmm, that looks interesting", rather than secretively hoarding everything until the release. Think of it as advertising :P

2009-06-15 [SilverFire]: I think of it as cluttering the page.

2009-06-15 [Kaimee]: Hmm, maybe we should ask the others in the forum if they wish to continue using it like this, or not? I personally like it, we've often done it in the past when we have the covers organised on time (which is meant to be always! :P), and I think the page looks nice like this. Also, it is intended to provide inspiration to get people to contribute to the upcoming issue :P

2009-06-15 [Reaver.]: The front cover looks amazing.
I love the use of Hans Gigers Alien.

2009-06-15 [Kaimee]: It's the work of [BlackbirdKate], one of Elftown's old school awesome artists :P

2009-06-15 [Reaver.]: It's brilliant 8D...I love it...

2009-06-15 [Kaimee]: Always good to hear :D

2009-06-15 [iippo]: Oh, that was confusing, I thought the new issue was out. Having the front cover before the actual issue spoils the surprise (does for me anyhoo). :/

2009-06-15 [Reaver.]: I forget, do the elftown public know the theme before the herald comes out?

2009-06-15 [Kaimee]: Yup, the upcoming theme is always listed on this page

2009-06-15 [Reaver.]: Then I see nothing wrong with having the front cover out before the issue 8)
Seems like a nice idea to show people what's coming up.

2009-06-15 [iippo]: But it still kind of... doesn't cancel the disappointment of "bwee new issu- no what the heck? Oh..."

2009-06-15 [Reaver.]: I don't think it cancels the dissapointment at all.

2009-06-15 [Chimes]: Maybe, instead of having the whole cover we should have a teaser? Then there would be less disappointment and we'd get to advertise it beforehand. :]

2009-06-15 [Reaver.]: Like a snipit of it...>8)

2009-06-15 [Chimes]: Exactly. :]

2009-06-15 [Reaver.]: Oh [Chimes] you tricky little fox you~

2009-06-16 [Kaimee]: Great idea! There you go, teaser in place :P

2009-06-16 [Teufelsweib]: I do think it tickles the interest actually, instead of spoiling the surprise with the new cover

2009-06-17 [Kaimee]: Great! :D Well from now on, instead of posting upcoming covers we'll use the header/teaser graphic :)

2009-09-28 [A Phoenix Rising]: :P
