Brilliant, was hoping I had a shot for the screenshot, but The Rider's one is hilarious.
Well written, well done.

Sorry for that mistake. But all stories are taking place in another year, so hard to keep up

Great edition with a nice reference to the latest doping trends in one-rider stories, a seemingly really damn old treasure and good overview of new stories as well as one of The Rider's great funny screenshots. Poor Kristsky, losing Paris - Nice in such a manner. But most of all I enjoyed the interview with Atlantius really lot (and I'm wondering what he plans next), even blushing a bit now.

Glad you liked this edition  Atlantius' interview was very good, I think, which makes for an interesting edition. His answers were deep enough to even get out the interview with only 2 screenshots |

The improvement! It's Glorious!
Spacing issues almost gone, but i still struggle to find focus in the Forgotten Treasure. Really clear text flows, nicely highlighted by images. Defined regular borders between articles.
The main interview was nice and in depth, but that lack of screens does turn it into a real block of text. Perhaps some more color of definition between the question and the answer would help that in future issues.
Actually a bit more spacing across the whole thing would help. While it's nice to have the space filled it can still feel cramped, especially between screens and captions. An extra line spacing across the whole things could help, or at least between Headings/Sub-headings and text.
Lot more upbeat comment this month because it is really good this time round. Great content as always and now just perhaps some small touches to visuals.

Was waiting for the big TMM comment and it surprised me in a good way
I know what you mean about the spacing. I might consider using a new template for one of the next editions, but then I'd need some time to put that together, so I can't promise it for the March Edition.
Spacing the interview was hard because I didn't want to let out a question and it just fit in as it was |

Wow, a story that didn't even make it past January as the Forgotten Treasure!
It can only be a matter of time until Team Sunkist makes it in here then.
Atlantius is really rather good, isn't he?
2000th post. (I'm catching you Ian)

Yep, great read!
And second time running that Jack got mentioned for What's been happening. 
(Though i do think it was actually quite defamatory, after all he didn't willingly dope )

Sorry to say but I'm afraid there won't be a March edition.
These are very busy days and, with work and school, Writer's Block is one of the first things to cut back on.
I'll hope to put out a April (Fools) edition, though! |

Writer's Block - March Edition 2014 (By Jakstar22)
I wanted a March edition so I decided why not try and make one. I hope you like it. It won't be as good as Ian's but I am not Ian.
