Hey, all. I was just informed that Brett Boyette, the artist who drew the cool Map of Dugandy for inclusion in the City Beneath boxed set, also drew the picture for this SmS, not Erik. Erik sent me the image, and I assumed he made it himself. So, I'd like to apologize for the mix-up and give due acknowledgment to Brett for her work here.

Does anyone have any thoughts on when we should post the next Illumination? I think May 15 sounds like the best compromise between avoidng April's issue and getting the edition out as early into May as possible, but if anyone's got an alternative suggestion, I'd like to hear it.

I think May 15 is a good candidate as well.

What happened?

*Rises up with a big pen*. I point it at you menacingly.

"Compare and contrast the structure, assembly and function of bacterial flagellae and pili". You have 90 minutes: Go!

Yeah, I did get locked away in my room revising various things about bacteria, parasites and the immune system for the last two weeks, so yes, I couldn't DROD, and yes, someone's probably gone away and stolen all my #1s. I doubt knowing that the Eighth is a 3-torus, or that roach saliva probably contains numerous digestive bacteria, would have been of much use to my examiners.

But I've mostly finished now, so I promise, I will get the Illumination I have half-finished out to you.

No, really; I mean it!

As far as I know, Caravel only makes one batch of CDs for every Smitemaster Selection, so it could be that they wait a bit more time for the ordering. Besides, it is also to make sure that no serious bugs in the hold(s) are found, and it takes some time for the CDs to be pressed and shipped.

However, I understand that the CDs are going to be pressed soon, so if anyone still wants a CD and hasn't ordered yet, consider this as a reminder.
