Hello there! No fic this week, it appears. *sadface* (Though I'm not producing anything either, so it's as much my fault as anyone else's.) And I just closed the tab without making sure Despatches had posted. Thank God for autosave! *wipes brow in relief*

Note from the Editor
This is the first issue of Despatches in this new year of 2011, and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Happy New Year. I hope that you all have a very good year this year, and I do hope that you will keep on writing - and drawing, vidding and making icons.

It is with great sadness that I heard of the death of the actor Pete Postlethwaite this week. As many of you know, he played Sergeant Obadiah Hakeswill in Sharpe. May you rest in peace, Mr Postlethwaite.

Note from the Editor Well, it's that time once again! You may have noticed that Despatches is now coming out fortnightly, rather than weekly. This is simply because there is not enough happening here on Dreamwidth to merit a weekly round-up... yet. This issue will be the last of this year and I hope that you have found Despatches here to be as informative as the LJ original.

May I encourage you all to keep writing, drawing, vidding and iconsing. I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, a Happy Yule or a joyous season, whatever your beliefs. And please, do let me know if there is any aspect of Despatches you feel I could improve. Apart from content, for which I look to you, my fellow fans. And as always, please continue to spread the word!
