All caught up, for now!
The Fan Page maintains a list of contents of back issues of Muse. We’ve let it fall ‘way behind, though, because blogging is so time-consuming (and, to be honest, a lot more fun).
Last summer, in response to a call for help, some stalwart MBers pitched in and recorded the contents of all issues up to July/August 2006. We’ll be posting those soon (honest!). Meanwhile, we’ve slipped behind again and need your help in recording the following issues for Muserly posterity:
September 2006 [thanks, Davidude!]
October 2006 [Davidude again]
November/December 2006 [Davidude yet again]
January 2007 [also Davidude]
February 2007 [looks like an all-DD series]
March 2007 [yep!]
April 2007 (coming soon!)
Wheelbarrows full of hot-pink-bunny points to any and all who come to our aid.
Many thanks,
Your disorganized GAPAs

11 – We don’t have the April issue recorded yet. I get mine pretty late into the month, so it won’t be coming to me for another 3 weeks, probably.
Whoa, there’s nothing left to do!!!!!!! Why doesn’t dark duke of darkness get any credit?
The HAWK
yeah!
*agrees with red tailed hawk teh swift*
Aww, man, last time I did several. Missed it this time, though. Oh well. Maybe I’ll do April when i egt it, heh heh.
15 – Um…not trying to be rude or insulting, here, but that’s not the format the GAPAs want them in, I’m guessing. Here’s a link to their archives; they have a specific way of recording each issue.
https://musefanpage.com/NewFiles/back_issues.html
oh. heh. whoops.
Does anyone have the next-to-last 1997 issue (the alien one)? And if so, can I have it? I really want it, I can’t find it online, and my life feels like it has: been shot many times, with only a small gap between each of the holes; dropped off a cliff; drowned; but most of all, overloaded.
Thanks.
overloaded with stuff that I have to do and underloaded with stuff that I want to do, that is
Good job davidude! *high five*
20 – There are tons of past Muses I wish I had, but I can’t get them either! Don’t have that issue, but I know somebody who I think does. I’d have to go check.
