Readers may have observed that new posts are being completed at a much slower pace lately. There are two major reasons for this: Pip’s career has been taking off recently and he has had little time to compose anything new. But he promises to complete one last post on ‘Sublimated Sexuality’. My relationship with a wonderful woman has been taking most of my time of late and, however noble the cause, I will not be neglecting her in favor of a political agenda. I will continue on in my capacity as administrator and will throw in an occasional post as time permits.

I would like to remind readers that Pigtails in Paint has been a group effort and its continuation does depend partly on the contributions of others. I have tried to encourage other writers, but they usually get busy in their personal lives or careers or are determined to strike out of their own in the genre. I can assure everyone that there are some exciting things in the pipeline and they will be published eventually.

I would also like to thank those who have helped fill in the gaps in our video collection. Next in the works will be an archival list of materials in the Pigtails library as well as a list of artist leads by name. Please continue to send in leads and I promise they will not fall on deaf ears. It just may take a while to get them produced or at least mentioned in a future ‘Maiden Voyages’ post.

Thank you all for your patience and my best wishes go to you as we enter this holiday season. -Ron, Editor-in-Chief
