Cue the Chase Music

I thought it was safe to go back to the Post Office, once the lolkittehs left, but oh, no, now Nigel's friends are at it. Brightling must be a fun place. Anyhow, the aliens have got loose and are chasing each other all over this week's issue of the Post. The Prof has promised to help catch them. Don't worry: they're mostly harmless, but you may spot them here and there among the otherwise uplifting reading material you have come to expect from us. (Cough.)



Speaking of uplifting material, we've got it in spades. Also diamonds, hearts, and whatever-that-other-suit-is. Willem's back with some wildlife beauty to share, Awix has a can't-miss cinematic treat, Tim Stevenson's taking us a-time travelling again, and the cartoonists have been very busy. There's even poetry and sensible talk (wonders never cease).

Don't let the aliens disturb you while you read. I find a tinfoil hat helps. Speaking of science fiction (where? where? ), the Science Fiction Writing Workshop still has that interesting challenge open. Check it out. Get writing! We'll be featuring the challenge writers soon.
