It's all just so baffling, the "rules," and who gets to break them. Mysti Frank is known to make her living selling reprints of zines that the original publishers are no longer interested in dealing with, and she is talked about. But because she's big business, and in the end, there are too many fans who want her product, you don't hear the BNFs releasing the hounds on her.

So much of life is about who you are, but nobody wants to admit that.

And I want to apologize for all my silence. It is not you, you deserve better than I've been able to give. I'm trying to climb out of this slough of despond, but it's slow-going. Thank you for being so patient with me.
