…even more spotlights in May? Sorry, that joke didn’t quite work out for me.

As you may have guessed, I’ve just posted the spotlights for April. They are as follows:

• Author: Tyanne, a wonderful new international author
• Story: Heads or Tails by Sarah Irene
• Website: Stories Will Be Told, a Retro Hanfic Challenge

The website, as you might have noticed, is hosted right here on PTH. It’s run by my friend Amber, in celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the band and the fifteenth anniversary of Middle of Nowhere. Can you believe some of us have been doing this for fifteen years? I’ll admit, I only began reading hanfic in late 2000 and writing my own in early 2001. But I still know all of the old classics and the tropes they contained. In this challenge, anyone who signs up will receive writing prompts based on those old tropes. I’m definitely participating and you should too! Sign ups start very soon.

Speaking of things you should participate in that are hosted on this domain, I’m running a new awards right now, called Blank Page Awards. Nominations run for one more week, but things are a bit slow going right now. If you’re reading this, I urge you to go nominate your favorite stories right now!

And… that’s all for now, folks. See ya next month, and maybe even sooner.
