I've extended the date for submissions for contributions to Sub Rosa. Issue 6 is focusing on adventures, and all submissions will go into the running to win an Ars Magica supplement.
Whether it's your first time or if you're an old hand, send me a pitch (subrosa@pointlessmentalcruelty.com). The deadline is Friday 30 October.
I think it's more the case that Alex is insanely busy with real-life commitments of the kind that put food on the table and right the wrongs of the world (or somewhere in between).
He did suggest that he'd be looking for more assistance going forward, but that was while issue 6 was being prepped (I think) so I didn't want to brow-beat him. Once this issue is done and dusted I'm sure he'll be able to take stock.
As far as I can tell... kind of... I've talked with him a few times, and I know he's trying to get it sorted, but his day job has grabbed him squarely by the throat and refuses to let go.
