The Cybertronian

Fiction Edition
January 2 – 8, 2009

Editor's Note

I wish you all a very Happy New Year 2010!

One on my resolutions for the year is to get my issues of the newsletter out in time, so that you won't have to wait so long for my missed slots. Here's #342 from before Christmas, by the way.

That said, please let me know if I mislabeled or missed to add something.

Have fun reading!
