For a while I wasn’t getting them (I moved). After a couple of complaints I finally started getting it- but my friend in the US informs me that en gets it about a week before I do in Southeast Asia.
I have a theory. Because this issue is for two months, they send it out later than usual to balance things out. So it’ll probably arrive in the middle of May. Hopefully.
*spontaneously reappears on MB after long-ish more-or-less-absence*
Hmm. I came here to see if I’m the only one who hasn’t gotten it yet, and apparently I’m not.
15- I don’t know about that. I don’t remember when any of my May/June issues have come before, but the July/August ones (also for two months) have come in the last few days of June or first few days of July for the last three years. (I know this because it’s always during the first week of CTY.)
Y’know, I’ve been wondering if there’s a reason only a few of us have received it. When I read it, I found a few glaring errors in layout, one in particular, which I pointed out on the discussion thread which Elizabeth Preston (editor) saw. I’m wondering if they’re fixing it and sending the magazines out again? I highly doubt it, but it’s one conspiracy theory. Coincidence is much more likely than that.
Sorry to report that there is no conspiracy. (Of course, that’s also what I’d say if there WERE a conspiracy.) We send out the issues at pretty much the same time every month; any variation in when you get them is, as far as I know, due to the postal service. I think that since magazines aren’t first-class mail, the post office can kind of take their time with them. Call your senator and demand an end to postal classism!
24- Yeah, I noticed that too. There was one thing that got cut off at the end of the page, and a few other things too….
Gosh, though, we like to imagine there being some big conspiracy around Muse, don’t we? We really shouldn’t, it’s unfair to all the Muse people….
Hi, DuckyFlutePlayer! Yes, I’ve been a huge duck fan for years. Actually, I recently decided that I’m more of a platypus than a duck, and have changed my name in some places to reflect that, but since I’ve been on MB as Emmatheduck forever and am not around much anymore, I figured I’d keep my name here as it was. Still, ducks are wonderful. And, on the assumption that you’re relatively new to MB, welcome! *pies*
Thanks! I’ll lurk around for a bit at least, though I find it a bit intimidating to come back and find that everything looks different, and the majority of names are unfamiliar. (I’ve also decided to acknowledge that PPP is dead, and that was the one thing keeping me at least partially on MB for quite a while.)
It just came! Yay! Emmatheduck, I have nine Ancona ducks and one of them is setting on eggs and they will hatch in about a week and I need to end this sentence!
I got it and it ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Muse! Go Nancy Kangas and Agneiska Biskup (Did I spell that right? Also, does he still do first/last pages? I miss the ones he made) , and all of the editors!!! W00t!! I ♥ you al!!!!!!!!
I haven’t gotten it yet. I hope it comes soon.
When are you mailing it, GAPAs?
2- The GAPAs don’t mail it. They write for Muse, not work for it. Or am I hashing quotes I vaguely remember? I can’t keep track of your jobs.
Anyway, mine came yesterday, hence the threads.
Well, we have too many jobs to keep track of, even for us…but you’re correct. Our writing for Muse is on contract; we’re not employees.
I think every copy this year for me has been late. *sighs*
I got it a few days ago.
I haven’t gotten it yet, but I got Cricket. Hopefully Muse will be soon.
I haven’t gotten any of the magazines I get from the Cricket Publishers. I hope they come soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scratch that. I just found out I got my Cricket. I can’t wait for Muse!!!!!!!
Cricket: no
Muse: no
Cicada: not coming this month
Odessey: apparently not coming this month
I’ll probably get Muse tomorrow. *fingers crossed*
I got it! YAY! It’s really good, but I won’t spoil it!
Meh. Didn’t get it today. Most probably I shall receive it tomorrow.
For a while I wasn’t getting them (I moved). After a couple of complaints I finally started getting it- but my friend in the US informs me that en gets it about a week before I do in Southeast Asia.
If anyone gets theirs, please discuss it on the discussion thread.
Haven’t got mine yet. ‘Tis a sad thing.
I have a theory. Because this issue is for two months, they send it out later than usual to balance things out. So it’ll probably arrive in the middle of May. Hopefully.
But Piggy and others received theirs early; that’s why this thread started on April 23rd.

WooHoo! I got it! *goes off to read*
Oh, and hi Emma! Welcome back! *pies/hugs*
I don’t have it yet…
And I usually get it early, too. Jakob’s theory has some appeal.
I still don’t have my issue either?!?!?! I have gotten the other two magazines I get. I hope Jakob’s right.
I know the “?!?!?” is kind of out of place, but that’s what I do.
SFTDP (I felt like I had to explain that.)
I’ve been checking the mail myself ever since these threads came up and I still haven’t gotten it…
I don’t know why it’s so late!
I STILL HAVEN’T GOTTEN IT!!!!!!! *tears hair out*
Yay! I got it!
20-I know! It’s been really late for practically everybody here! It’s so weird!
[/excessive_use_of_exclamation_points]
Mine have been late too recently. It’s a sad thing.

I got my issue today!!!
Yay! I just got it!
*screams*
It’s here! Off to read.
24- Yeah, I noticed that too. There was one thing that got cut off at the end of the page, and a few other things too….
Gosh, though, we like to imagine there being some big conspiracy around Muse, don’t we? We really shouldn’t, it’s unfair to all the Muse people….
I got mine today!
I got mine! *runs off to read it, and then off to the discussion thread*
Whee! I have received mine!
It came today! Very good timing, actually, as it arrived about 5 minutes before I left for an AP exam, so I brought it to read in the car.
(I was quite disappointed that it had no articles on the subject of said AP exam, though.)
I just subscribed, and I think it will come soon. Emmatheduck, do you like ducks? I do (that explains my name).
Hi, DuckyFlutePlayer! Yes, I’ve been a huge duck fan for years.

Hey, Emma! I’ve not seen you around in a while! Welcome back, and do stay awhile……
Thanks! I’ll lurk around for a bit at least, though I find it a bit intimidating to come back and find that everything looks different, and the majority of names are unfamiliar. (I’ve also decided to acknowledge that PPP is dead, and that was the one thing keeping me at least partially on MB for quite a while.)
Oh. My. Gosh. You were forever ago. Hi!!!!!!
Everybody’s coming back on! Yay! Remember me?
Yeah, I got mine.
It just came! Yay! Emmatheduck, I have nine Ancona ducks and one of them is setting on eggs and they will hatch in about a week and I need to end this sentence!
(Sorry for double-post, I’m not really sure what the etiquette for that is now that we can reply to specific posts.)
DFP, you have real pet ducks? That’s so froody! I never had any, just excessive amounts of rubber duckies, stuffed ducks, etc.
I got it and it ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Muse! Go Nancy Kangas and Agneiska Biskup (Did I spell that right? Also, does he still do first/last pages? I miss the ones he made) , and all of the editors!!! W00t!! I ♥ you al!!!!!!!!
The last page is signed “E.P.,” which would, I assume, be Elizabeth Preston.
Yup. It is.
I know her dad and younger sister, by the way… her dad’s my English teacher.
{/randomness]
Mine Came! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Well, hello, Francois. Been a while, hasn’t it?
Another person I recognize from forever ago!
My day is made. Long time no blog, hi!
*screams some more*
38.1.1- SERIOUSLY???
Awesome.
*screams* I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Emmatheduck, what does froody mean?

This is the earliest ever ! (I usually get it on the 25).
*is happy*
