Given that I managed to forget about this page for most of a year... If anybody reads this, let me know if you want me to update this notice board more frequently or just drop it. After all, current events get passed along quite well via Live Journal, the newsgroup, Facebook and stuff like that there these days.

Believe it or not, Leslie Fish has been offered the chance to host a radio talk show. And you can advertise on it! See here for details.

Tom Smith, the World's Fastest Filker injured his back and they're still working on it. He could use some help; here for the Donation Page.

Random Factors Website Current Status

Edited from a post by Mary Creasey to rec.music.filk

Yes, the website is down pending an overhaul; we had not properly updated it when it was up, so we thought it would be best if we cleaned it up thoroughly first.

The why: we got caught in a server move and responded too late for our data to transfer. Currently, we seem to be in a suspended mode, and may have to move providers.

We ARE still in business, with 12 titles of our own and a big batch of other folks' stuff. Only major change is that we no longer carry the DarwinFish line (too many other vendors and not enough demand).

If there is an item in which you are interested, drop us an e-note at jcreasey@socal.rr.com or creasey@att.net . The first is the direct address to the company computer; the other is my personal account, and is more if you are asking questions about titles (who did what or something of that nature). I do take orders too, though.

This IS an official reply from Random Factors.

Sharon Lee and Steve Miller have finished the first draft of Fledgeling: A Liaden Novel on line, and have now started on the sequel, Saltation. How lovely to watch this approach catch on, and with some of my favorite authors, too!

Lawrence Watt-Evans has finished his second Ethschar book to be written on line, this being The Vondish Ambassador. Be sure to leave a few bucks in the storyteller's bowl so he'll keep doing this.
