The big announcement is here, and it's this: I'm leaving Backwards City. All the founding editors are; the younger generation has risen up and is taking over, as it always does. We've been driven out. We're hiding in the hinterlands. We're an editorial board in exile.

Backwards City #6 will be our last issue; #7 and on will be all theirs.

In the coming days, they'll start to introduce themselves. Rest assured, they are awesome.

Part of giving up Backwards City means giving up this blog. But I'm not giving up blogging altogether; I'm going to keep on doing something like the same old thing at gerrycanavan.blogspot.com, which I hope you'll all add to your regular rotation.

But stick around here, too. Strange and wonderful things start happening at noon tomorrow.
