Alex and I agree: April was one of the strongest blogging months we've had yet, and I think the key factor here was variety. We covered a wider range of fandoms and topics than we have in a long while; the kinds of posts were more diverse than usual, from a guest post to news coverage to personal anecdotes; and a few of the posts were real keepers that gained us some attention outside of our regular group of loyal readers.
See for yourself just how delightfully eclectic April was:
