Frank Comments: Now here we have an example of how to punch up a work by giving it a new title and new cover art. The story is from 1950, and was previously published as “The House That Stood Still”.

Dionysius Rogers Art Direction: Don’t we have some rejected cover art for that last printing of Stranger in a Strange Land? Where there’s a burning, lightning-struck monster in the middle of it for some reason?

Tom Noir’s Art Direction: Stevens! We have a problem. ‘Demon Muskrat Vixens,’ just came back from the printers with a picture of some giant cube on the cover. What happened to that crazy ass piece we originally commissioned for it?!
Update: New, improved cover photo supplied by Tom Noir!

From the GSS Slack Channel:
Tweet Jane: Where did you guys disappear to? I had to get the cleaning lady to let me in the locked offices.
GSS Admin: Sorry, I’ve been on August holiday. I’ve always promised myself a month in Bangkok.
Tweet Jane: August holiday? You haven’t returned from last August’s holiday. Your voice mail and mailbox are full.
GSS Admin: Gotta run. The cabana boy is bringing over the cocktails.
Tag Wizard: Sorry, but I’ve, uh, been detained. It’s all a misunderstanding. My solicitor will have it all straightened out in no time at all!
Tweet Jane: Well what about the 2000th Post? We were planning to a have a contest, and prizes, and a big month-long rollout.
Tag Wizard: Oh yeah. Slipped my mind. Go into the submission form and see what’s laying around. Something with nice pair of jubblies is always a hit. The password is on a post-it note somewhere on my desk.
Tweet Jane: And I’m taking all the petty cash. You haven’t paid me in two months.
