Welcome to the start of the 14th year of The Fifth Di.... I wonder, when Jim Baker started all of this, did he really think we'd reach 14 years? Unfortunately, Jim hasn't made the trip with us, but he is the inspiration behind everything we do here.
As always, we have a variety of stories and poems in this issue, and we hope you enjoy all of them. Please help us out by voting for your favorites so we can put together Wondrous Web Worlds Vol. 11 in the future. And for those of you that are curious about WWW 10, we now have the book full, and I will start the editing process soon. It will feature the best stories and poems from 2009, 2010, and 2011. Look for it in the near future.
