We Told You Not to Push That Button, lil

Ah, distinctly we remember, it was in the bleak November¹... But Halloween and that Guy guy have come and gone, and we are all cheery again. At least, we hope so. German children are going around singing about St Martin, who was a cool frood you can read about (just click on the Front Page, he's here all week).

Our volunteers are settling into their jobs nicely. Hardly anybody threw a computer out the window this week. lil's been behaving herself – that heading was just yanking your chain, love.

We have lots of fun entries for you this week. Our two space writers in residence are dishing up scifi to warm the cockles of your digital hearts, while Beatrice, Willem, Vestboy and Awix take us on more terrestrial journeys. Tavaron has picked up the Art Challenge gauntlet (thanks, Tav!), while minichessemouse pays tribute to Pastey. (Yeah, we know he'd rather have beer. But he gets cartoons.)

Read, reflect, enjoy. Next week, we go all postmodern and high-concept. Send your fancy prose/poetry/performance art to us.
