First of all, I feel I must apologise because I should have been able to do better for this premiere issue. We had great plans, but due to my inexperience, the quality we envisioned is not yet within out grasp. But this is only the beginning! We're getting there folks! I also need to thank all those who gave us moral support and showed great fervor for the project, especially those who took time out of their already-busy schedules to write articles, proofread and make countless of valuable suggestions of what we can do in the future. With that out of the way, I am pleased to present to you Woodworks - The Elfwood Community eZine!

In this issue, three anime enthusiasts take common misconceptions of their passion and tells us how it really is. Ellen Million and Kassandra Siegel shows us how to make the most out of Elfwood in their Elfwood Survival articles. Thomas and the ERB talks to us about what happened in the last half of the past year, and two of the hottest fantasy movies of 2001 get an unsurprising thumbs-up from our reviewers.

We hope you'll enjoy the issue. Don't forget that you can to us or visit our forums to see how you can take part in the ezine.
