The Newsletter

I have been very busy this summer with all the Fassinating Fassbender projects I have online (along with everything else in my busy life), so much so that I have not updated the FNN newsletter in several months. I did think about it briefly last week when I closed down my tumblr webpage. I wondered if I should cease operations of the newsletter also. Because I don't get much reader feedback from the newsletter, I have no gauge to determine if a) people read it, or b) if the information written is good enough to warrant feedback. In the past, when I did provide an update, someone also unsubscribe from it afterwards (for example, a few people unsubbed after I broke the news about Plan B). Usually it's just one or two people, nothing significant. But when people unsubscribe from the newsletter after a new one was sent out, and there is no feedback from it, you can imagine the position I'm in when thinking about if the newsletter is relevant or not.

Also, there is the Fassinating Fassbender fatigue factor that I need to take into consideration. I update the blog frequently enough where people may think they don't need to be on the mailing list - but, one must deliberately subscribe in order to receive it, so fatigue may not be the reason. But my intentions of the newsletter was to provide sneak peek info and special notices to those who subscribe. However, since the blog has been the primary focus, there has been no need to also write a newsletter.

For the time being, I will keep it, and I would like to send a new email out this week, perhaps as early as later today. I'll see how it goes for the remainder of the year and if I'm not 'feeling it' anymore, I'll just cease sending it out, no big deal, it's cool.

Update: The newsletter has been sent out this evening. Thanks!
