Maybe not weird. But I sort of freaked out last week when I realized that my hunch about Twilight star Kellen Lutz was right - he seems to be a Christain, and grew up in the same church as fellow Cullen actor Jackson Rathbone. I thought that was pretty cool.
So second sorta cool thing? I was reading a VF article today and just about squealed when I got to the part where Jackson recommended C.S. Lewis's "Out of the Silent Planet" to Kellen as his next reading project.
Okay, maybe I AM weird. But I find stuff like this cooler than a lot of other Twi-News.

An Editor's Life For Me
The end is in sight!
I formatted the final article into "Ink and Fairydust" today, making the official length 44 pages! I'm extremely pleased and a little stunned.
There is still fine-tuning to be done. I have to format things like page numbers, which aren't automatic in this software. Once those are in, I have to pull the table of contents together. However, timewise I am in a nice place, since it is still five days until we release the magazine.
I'm very excited about this issue. I think we have a great theme (Shakespeare and Writing) and some really good articles!
Editing "Ink and Fairydust" is much more rewarding in this new format, because the visual aspect is so much more pleasing than in the previous issues. I cannot emphesize the differance enough. And it will only get better as I refine my technique.
What can you look for in this issue?
