BOTF 2009: The Trail of Tiers

It's been a bit over one year since the Tiers were last posted, so a re-indexing is warranted. A tumultuous year it has been, between laughing and weeping, natural and manmade disasters, crucial elections and selections, inside BOTF and out. The last of the old Editor Kings finally abandoned pretension to authority and respectability; any pretense that the ancien regime still existed other than in fond memory ("fond" as in "foolish" in Elizabethan usage?). Posters appeared and disappeared, left and returned, rose and fell, waxed and waned, talked and stalked, blogged and rolled and, more often than not, Stayed the Same, Don't Go Changin', Wouldn't Dream Of It. Bottoms were struck and re-struck (on the BOTF Quality Index), and yet there exists at this very hour guarded optimism that there may be a rational basis for guarded optimism. Onward and upward, BOTF!

  1. In the hopes of avoiding a demotion back to the third tier, I've considered submitting to Inkberrow a portfolio of Good Stuff I've Written since March 2009.

    Much like Tempo, I crave external validation. And when I saw that I'd been promoted, I emailed everyone: LoOk LOok!

  2. Well, it would appear I've been forgotten though to be honest I've not written very much lately. However, one would think Ink would at the very least give his "fray love" an honorable mention...sniff.
