Update by E. Randy at 5:42 pm

New reviews over on the comics blog...and the start of something, or simply a last gasp?

I post! You decide!
Update by Cory!! at 1:19 pm

Well, we thought it was a good idea at the time. Unfortunately, the other 99.8% of the board ended up showing a complete lack of interest, and it eventually seemed like we were simply talking to ourselves. If you're reading this and think it's *still* a good idea, feel free to drop me a line at the email address on my blog or, if you're a member, send me a private message on Barbelith.

So then. Welcome to Barbelith Reviews. We've got a number of plans for the site, so expect it to be in flux for a good few months, but the basic skeleton is present and correct.

What we've got:

Music - albums, singles, EPs

Books - fiction, non-fic, e-books

Comics - collected editions, one-shots, mainstream and indie

Film - cinema, DVD

TV - fiction and non-fic (again)

Video Games - licenses, niche titles

Outside - gigs, shows, plays, demonstrations

What we want:

Contributions, basically. That's written, by the way, not financial. Although we're a Barbelith off-shoot, we'd like this site to provide as wide a variety of voices as possible, so if there's something out there that you'd like to review, get in touch with us through the email address at the top of the screen. We're not planning on having many (if any) restrictions on content. Retrospective reviews are also welcomed.
