And "Team Other" for WYRM? Very clever -- a nice way of deciding where it fits. You mean you didn't want Team Science Fiction-Mystery-Historical? No wonder I especially like this year's line-up -- I'm a big fan of Team Fantasy. So, who draws the comics? They do a wonderful job and deserve some recognition! I love it! And “Team Other” for WYRM?
