Please Form An Orderly Queue

The issues that I edit come in 'batches' which one of the administrators will supply after the previous one has been sucked dry. Well, theoretically. It can take a lot of harassment and pestering to get them to do what I want sometimes. These batches can be quite big or small, depending on the time it's taken to form. They used to come in thousands at the very start because there were so many submitters who had been submitting for a long time before Max Barry decided to hand the torch over to the mods. Nowadays, the batches come in at around 300 issues per month. The previous batch (which ran from October 2004 to the 18th of March) has been finished. All the issues from that period have been either deleted or put into the game (this excepts about six issues which Myrth beavered at a long time ago and which still remain in his 'checked-out' pile. I believe he's still awaiting approval from Max or [violet], I forget which.).

So what does this mean for you guys? Well, firstly it means that any of you wanting your issue to be looked at over the next few months should submit it now so you don't have to wait for half a year for us to look at them. Take note of the guidelines and other issues so you know yours stands in with a chance! There's lots of stickies in the 'Got Issues?' forum to help you perfect yours. But you'll have to hurry! I doubt that I'll still be waiting for a new batch by next Friday.
