Also, don't forget. Fleen is driven from journalistic intents - that means SHEER SODDEN LAZINESS. If this is not what you mean when you say "journalistic", then you have obviously been using a dictionary at least twenty years old. If you want to see something mentioned on the front page, send a note to Gary. If the thing you want to see mentioned doesn't absolutely stink, it will likely show up! Tenthly, GWS is awesome.

But this SPX thing and the Girls With Slingshots update got me thinking. Someone should really chart all of the times certain webcomics(/creators) are mentioned on fleen, to see if maybe there are any alarming trends. Or just gross over/under reporting. I mean, everyone knows it anecdotally, it would just be nice to see some numbers. It's ridiculous how it seems like I hear about GWS here every other day, and it's ONLY been in the context of SPX that I've heard of any of those webcomic nominees besides Achewood. If this website even aspires to be journalistic, shouldn't you be... profiling them? Or at least interested in them? I know, I know, I know: Fleen is free. I shouldn't be complaining. But it would be nice if you stretched your wings a bit. If this website was actually dedicated to furthering the medium, and not just wanton linking. If you think I'm asking too much, please point me to where I should go instead. I won't bother you as much. Sorry, I don’t mean to be a pain.
