Storyblogging Carnival XLVII
The latest storyblogging carnival is up at Doc Rampage. There are ten stories this time, including a very interesting one by Doc himself on the extinction of the human race. Of course, Doc still has trouble with Roman numerals, so I'll just spell out that this carnival is the 47th.

Storyblogging Carnival XLVI
This is Storyblogging Carnival XLVI, a collection of storytelling in blog format from around the blogosphere. Rahter than wasting time, let's just get to the entries. We've got a total of seven this time.

A mission.
