Note from the Editor:
Ulp. My bad! I must beg pardon for the delay in bringing out Issue 31. I don't actually have any sort of excuse. At all. *hides under the bed* (Also, since popping off some of my laptop keys the other day, my spacebar is annoyingly clicky and doesn't always work first go. I apologise if I manage to run words together in the course of this edition.)
