Little Blue World will, after 8 years and 32 issues, cease publication with our final issue of Winter 2009. While we have very much appreciated the opportunity to produce our labor of love for the Tori community, the sharp rise in production costs has made it impossible for us to continue without compromising the production values to which we are committed. We are proud of the 30 issues we have completed (#30 will be shipping soon) and will do our best to make #31 and #32 memorable.

In our time of transition, we will be offering pro-rated subscriptions. New and renewing subscribers will have the option to subscribe at reduced rates for our remaining issues. We plan to continue making our back issues available to fans as long as we have remaining stock. Proceeds after costs will be donated to RAINN.

In the meantime, to help raise money to meet publication expenses through Winter 2009, we are offering our back issue packs at the most substantial discount we have ever offered. These great bargains will end without warning and prices return to normal when we meet our goal, so if you want to take advantage of them, check them out soon.

If you're feeling really generous and want to help LBW meet its publication goal, you also have the option of donating. At diminished subscription rates, the challenge of meeting expenses will be considerable. We welcome any assistance you may wish to offer. In the event that we manage to raise more than is necessary to meet our costs, through our sale or through donation, excess will -- as customary -- be donated to RAINN.

The staff at Little Blue World has enjoyed the opportunity to serve the Tori community, and we hope to make our final issues ones to remember.
