 Editorial 
The
				  Cabal explain why, yet again, this issue is not so much late as temporally
				  challenged. And Alison will probably add a couple of paragraphs telling you
				  all, yet again, how wonderfully talented her children are.
 Five Go Mad In Mordor
				  
 Steve Davies and The Cabal
 No! No! Not the Lord
				  of the Rings take-off! Run for the hills! Phone the SFWA copyright hit
				  squad!
 Recapturing My Flaming
				  Youth 
 Rob Jackson
 Rob re-emerges from
				  the forgotten depths of time to marvel at the wonders of the modern Internet,
				  in his first piece of fanac for over a decade.
 Decking The Halls With
				  Thorazine 
 Patty Wells
 Inspired by
				  Alison's Christmas message to her subjects her friends and family, Patty
				  has let us know about her own family's misadventures throughout 2001
 Lokta Plokta 
We
				  decided it would be easier to edit the locs if we just deleted every second and
				  third word. Oddly, the letters actually seem to make more sense this way.
 Does Your Gut Wobble When I Do
				  This? 
 Alison Scott
 Alison shares some
				  musical and medical anecdotes. Funnily enough, she makes more sense with every
				  second and third word deleted, too.
