(PS:I have a request) Nigel, apologies for leaving you hanging! Things have gotten really crazy, both life-wise and career-wise. I'm no longer studying, and expect to lose email pretty darn soon. I am very grateful for the insights you have provided me about the life you lived in Antarctica, and hope to one day visit the place -- though not to skydive! I'm almost finished up on the DOCTOR WHO magazine I edit, after killing myself in a fiction piece that forms part of the multi-editors versus the multi-Doctors fiction piece that has been written by all the other editors under my guidance. It may sound bizarre and/or silly, which is not entirely untrue -- but as the comic book we're putting out next issue that wraps it all up should help emphasise, it's also kinda funny. The artist has won national recognition for his work, and the project is eagerly anticipated by many who think that this 25th issue of MISTFALL will be a landmark event in the zine's 8 year history! Subsequently, with days to go before the date the copy must be sent to the printers, I was wondering if it would be possible to include some of your very amusing and educational responses from email you've sent out in the magazine, respectfully tinkered with to make it work as a Guest Editorial? It would make my life a whole lot easier, and would definitely go down a treat with the readers, I'm sure! Be assured that you'll get a free copy of the magazine if you consent, so please let me know as soon as possible if you are okay with this. Best, Paul
