Review Update

The Review knows dedicated readers will be shaken and disturbed by this post. You're already reeling from yesterday's missing Sunday publication. 

The Review apologizes for causing panic and distress.  We engaged a process of soul-searching last week by asking ourselves, where are we going with The Review?  What do we want The Review to say and be in the future?  Late-night meetings ensued, filled with discussion, debate, laughter, tears, animated animation, and lots of pancakes and beer [courtesy of Frazier and Cheppie].  These all-night meetings finally caught up with us on Sunday; we did not have enough energy or clarity to publish.  

But we're here today to announce a new format for The Review.  The staff feels passionately about valuing quality over quantity: publishing fewer, but more in-depth posts.  What does this mean for The Review's rhythm?  First, the elimination of Sunday through Friday posts; and second, the continuation of Saturday posts, with a caveat.  The Review aims to publish every Saturday.  But do not be alarmed if the publication schedule is knocked off track.  It just means we're digging up more information, or fine-tune editing.  

What what does this mean for The Review's content?  Richer posts, and a shift in focus to actual reviews of specific creatures of brand lines.  We want to apply the principles outlined under "Core Philosophy."  But we will continue to discuss general topics of concern for stuffed creatures and their worlds, such as animation and safety concerns.  

The Review sincerely hopes you find these changes useful and exciting.  Please do not hesitate to write in and comment...

Till our next post...take some time to smell the flowers.
