Note from the Editor: Well, Happy New Year! This is the first Despatches of 2012, and I am looking forward to bringing lots of fandom things to the attention of a wider audience over the course of this coming year. For those new to DW, welcome! This is the DW version of [livejournal.com profile] despatches, set up and currently issued by [personal profile] sharpiefan, who many of you may remember from LJ. I was inspired to begin issuing a version of Despatches here because there was very little AoS content here on DW and I hoped to inspire people to produce more - there can never be too much fandom stuff, after all. For those of you who are new subscribers, I encourage you to look through the back issues, and if you find something you like, please let the author know.

As ever, if you wish [personal profile] despatch_reader to subscribe your journal or fic journal, please comment here, or over on the relevant post on [personal profile] despatch_reader - don't allow the Reader to access locked journal entries (AKA, do't friend that journal back!) so that only public entries will be linked from here.
