Excellent job, guys! Bread, that sex change thing could actually come in handy... o_0

Fee, I wasn't referencing back to anything. What are you talking about?

I've just begun to skim this so I don't have many comments. I'll read the longer articles more thoroughly and share my opinion in a bit.

Note to self: be more careful while editing...

*coughs*
As usual, Felicia, I'm loving your article. Lccorp2, I'm really hoping you have an entry for the next issue.

Actually, for the jellyfish bit, urine only makes it worse (it, and water, causes the toxin sacs that are present at the injury explode). White vinegar actually works best.

I'm loving your prose, Wyrdwolf and Sakka. Burnt Dread's history piece was, well, enlightening.

Yay for newness! Lccorp, I have no idea how to start pronoucning your name (it'll end up something like "lykcorp"), but you're awesome before I've even read anything from you. Go you! And go Bread! The person who coordinates these things and forces us to look deep within our souls to find something interesting about things the like of Wit and Oceans (the only two issues issued late).

I love you, Lccorp2. I've never been so happy to read something in which I'm on a tour and the tour guide's talking down to me every step of the way. Yet, it was incredibly enjoyable. Go you! It's your birthday!

Ew. I don't want to be part-coral... interesting fact. Thanks to whomever provides them.

Uh-oh. That was mine. Moving along...

"It’s a pre-dawn winter morning and your coach expects you to show up to the Boy’s Swim Team training. Bam. Ops, you’re no longer eligible." Bread, I love you, too. Lumpy boobs, Bread? Sucks to be you.

Oh no, Fen-Shay. You added a little something that may reference back to 'Rites of Passage.' I'm perfectly happy pretending that it doesn't exist, to be honest. Anywho, it was lovely and thought-provoking and made me want to set something at the beach and have someone be allergic to salt...

Why do people keep referencing previous episodes of StP? Weird. Woot for pirates, Feather! Good for you. Pushing boundaries is good. It's like happiness, only better. Now, great article. It rambles a bit, but... I ramble a lot, so it's ok. And the list was hardcore. And true (weird). Don't doubt the power of lust when you've been on a boat with a bunch of swarthy men for a few months. Mermaids are the least of your worries... I'd be more concerned for the guy in the hammock next to mine.

Oh no. I'm back. It's like revenge of the high school student! *fake movie screams*

I saw a special called 'Killer Jellyfish' about a jelly that can kill you with its sting. I was scurred (not scared). Dophin rape would make anyone cry, Bread. No joke. Nice list.

When has Alaska been a frontier? People live there. American people. People who want oil. Lots of people. It's the biggest state. I think you're a liar, Shane. But if you were going for the shock factor in this, you nailed it. Big time. Good job, love.

That's a hot article. Great, great stuff, Bread. I love the last line. It was shivers. Excellent.

GREAT JOB, EVERYONE AND WELCOME NEW GUY, LCCORP2! STOP THE PRESS 4EVA!

Felicia.

Lovely intro, Bread. It stirred the soul. Power mixer; dibs on licking the whisks.

That was the ultimate thrill roller coaster of metaphor, Lccorp2 (can I call you Lccorp1 for short?). Glad to see we've a new contributor with admirable skill and engagement.

A Finding Nemo analysis. Couldn't have picked a better movie, at any rate--Finding Nemo is the ultimate. I actually didn't know sea turtles laid there eggs on land. I'm so sheltered. And thank you for using the word octopi! Now, who agrees the plural of callus should be calli and not calluses!?

I actually knew the marine sex thing! I'm really proud of myself. Though I can't really think of an instance where I'd want to be a girl, and trust me, I've had long discussions with my friend Taylor about this (she constantly reminds me how lucky I am to be a guy, mostly about the whole not bleeding from my crotch thing. I agree) and I can't think of one. *shrug* It'll come to me one day. Probably as a slap in the face (or kick in the balls).

That's true; every story can have an ocean chapter or ten in it. Hell, I've done it. Yay for boats, rafts and leviathans. Listen to this tip, people!

Good tips for ocean writing. The ocean itself wouldn't be as noticed if it weren't such an ultimate trade hub, and so many things can spring from that that can make a story engaging.

Wow. You've done your research, huh, Felicia? Interesting to know, though...I really want to see what kind of weird pancake fish live way down deep.

Thanks for scaring me with your horrors of the deep, Bread. Jesus, what would be worse? Getting urinated on by some lifeguard or getting humped by a randy dolphin in front of all the beachgoers?

Whoa. War operations are ridiculously interesting.

*wipes off forehead* That was a lot of reading. Luckily, I have nothing else to do, really. Great job on this, everyone.
