Sunday, 21-Mar-2010 07:12:35 PDT   12.07.06: Scarlet Letters -- in case it isn't glaringly obvious -- is currently on an extended hiatus. The web has changed, we've changed, and we're trying to figure out how we both fit together now, which isn't a process we want to rush. In the meantime, by all means, enjoy our years of past content, all of which still remain in the public and subscription areas. If you're looking for more current SL-related content, you can have check out upcoming books from editor Heather Corinna and previous co-editor Hanne Blank, check out Heather's current sexuality sites, or explore sites through the femmerotic network. We hope to be back with you soon, as fresh, challenging and unexpected as ever.
