The UnderGuide is really happening, at last. We are but dandruff on the shoulders of the giants of AGG/GAG/CAC and the Post. But we are here, we exist, and shortly there will be links to UnderGuide entries from the Front Page.
The Miners who are the UnderGuide's Scouts and Subeditors are minesweeping the Alternative Writing Workshop, (<./>RF5</.>
for gems. We have a real live Yahoo Mailing List, and we have elected two UnderGuide Editors, (GTBacchus and Jodan).
So come on in, sign up at A1092539, and join in the fun!
Mining is enjoyable. You never know when you click on a link whether you are going to get poetry or prose, travel writing or autobiography, science fiction or political theory. Most entries in the AWW have a certain something, and interspersed amongst the variety are true diamonds, which have moved the existing miners to helpless laughter or to tears.
People post in the AWW for an audience, for comment, critique and feedback. There have been times when things have languised ignored for months. That has now changed, and helping to change that is rewarding.
Mining the AWW is a very condensed way of lurking, and it is one of the quickest ways of meeting some of the most interesting minds on h2g2.
Of course, if you don't want to enjoy yourself, you can do it for glory or kudos.

Sounds like a plan, Ben.
Who knows, I may even have a little piece of my own (a sort of by blow from my blues project) to chuck into the mix...

I hope the UG goes well for you, Ben - you've put a lot of work in.
I'll refrain from signing up for anything right now due to RL stuff, but if you're in desperate need of gem-polishers in the future, let me know.
