TRP Digest II

¡Buenos dias, señores y señoras! It’s multilingual day here at the TRP Digest! Well, no, it’s really not. If I tried speaking anymore Spanish than that, I’d probably accidentally call my aunt a crack whore or something to that effect. In any case, this week’s TRP Digest is primed and ready to go for your viewing pleasure. This week, we have reviews from all stories updated since 15 July; also, a brand new feature for you will be the number of updates on each thread since the last TRP Digest. That way, you can know exactly how much, if anything, you’ve missed on the thread. Also in a quick aside, if a story has not been updated since the last Digest but still falls in the cut-off, it’ll be noted and the description will be the same as the last time. Don’t forget, if you’d like anything in here personalized, don’t hesitate to e-mail me. Alfonso the Dragon is quite nice about checking it six or seven thousand times a day.
By the way, a word on the timestamp. I know it says something like 5:30 AM. That’s not a mistake. Don’t ask me why, for the love of God.

Still nothing new here. All quiet on the southern front, as it were. Because these threads are on the bottom of the page, see. South is bottom? Get it? Neither do I.
