Dear RTP (#24)

Every so often in the lifetime of a blogger, they must address a serious topic that weighs down on the hearts and minds of everyone concerned. However, in this post, I talk about the recent other DW fanzine!

RTP remains 50 issues behind TSV in numbering, but manages to score higher than the latter with only 20% of the issue devote to reviews! (And we forgive RTP for the reviews they do print as some of them are mine. And the others are interesting!)

Another bonus is a letters page, but one suspects that is merely a temporary omission from TSV. Of note is the missive from one Mr Mandate Poser, which has the potential to cause insanity in those that try to read it (especially late at night in poor light).

And speaking of himself, he supplies yet another entry in the tale of Cydonia, featuring those creations of man and machine. However, I can't remember any explicit reference to Cybermen on Mars(*), but their presence could be inferred from several stories. (In this case, I'm guessing during the war referred to in Revenge of the Cybermen.)

(*)Might this post be the cause of the first comment by the actual man?

Of other note is the interview with the Pulzar, whose presence is much missed from the Con scene (as are many others). Still, go to his website and check out his kicking beats, which are, indeed, kicking!

There is also the small matter of actual content in the form of some pieces by yours truly and one Dave Ronayne (and I have to confess that the Torchwood piece might have meant more if I could remember who those guys were!).

Go pick it up, and get the back issues as well! (You can see what you've been missing out on at the site that is Reversing the Popularity of the Blogsphere... or something like that...)
