This issue we salute Valentine's Day with an issue dedicated to the great and glorious concept of romance, but as usual, we do our best to add just a bit of a twist. For example, Eric "Otter" Vary's column OTTER'S PONDerings provides advise to the furry lovelorn, while, in his story "The Lady's Choice," Andy Hollis notes that fur is not an obstacle to love, and my story "Daughter to Demons" asks the question, "Do demons need love?" Our featured story for this issue, "Swan Wing: Golden Healing" by Heather Whiteside, is a beautifully crafted love story. By the way folks, we love comments and suggestions. Please drop by our Reader's Forum and leave us a note, or send one directly to our authors by clicking on their names.

Other features in this issue include a new survey, an analysis of the last survey, and a guest editorial. The new survey will take two issues to complete and the question is "What is your favorite transformation-related web site? This issue we need you to write your nomination and the link (Confidentiality will be maintained). Next issue we will ask everyone to check out the nominated sites and vote to tell us which is the favorite site. Finally, we have a guest editorial this month from Copernicus, an examination of the Internet phenomenon of the "flame war" with suggestions for how to prevent them.
