Received a very nice email from Maolsheachlann OCeallaigh asking for the plot details of a radio episode which was almost unlistenable due to extremely poor audio quality. This prompted me to create a new page, Spoilers, where I can detail plot elements that could... well... spoil the plot!
The first entry, as per OCeallaigh, is "The Confession" from The Witch's Tale.

Updated the Links page.
Over the past 7 years, most of the hobby sites that I loved have disappeared and have been replaced by Coporate and AI-generated for-profit sleeze. That makes me sad. And disheartened. So much time and effort, gone. I find that the Internet is not nearly so much fun as it used to be. Or maybe that's just me, getting old and crotchety. Bah. Humbug.
Then, a couple of months ago I got an email from Jeff Dickson (remember him? He's the one who created this website), and I realized that this site has been online for almost 1/4 of a century! I thought about it and realized that I enjoy listening to OTR and writing plots/reviews more than anything else I do online.
So here I am, starting up the Plot Spot again.
I replaced all the broken links with links that now point to archived pages (where possible) at the Wayback Machine. But the Wayback Machine archives only HTML pages, and only some of those. Anything that was stored in a database is gone for good. But at least I've got something to look at to remember those Internet pioneers: Digital Deli, Jim French, Yuri Rasovsky, Bill Hollweg, Zombie Astronaut, The Whirlitzer of Wizdoms, The Nightfall Project, Quietly Yours, Dinosaur Gardens, Exploring Dystopia, The Grand Guignol On-line, Jim Widner, Jerry Haendiges.
Cheers.

Hahaha. Well here I am, making new promises to myself. Just like every year. I hope you all don't think too harshly of me.
This year, I hope to catch up on 5 years of correspondence and post tons of material that users have submitted.
Time will tell.
Cheers.
