I'm still a bit sick, but after doing four million test mailings on a back-up journal and feed, I've isolated the problem with this newsletter's display on LiveJournal: It's just too big. I considered making it smaller, but you know, I don't want to start leaving stuff out, and even stripping it of all but essential code, it was still too big. So clearly, the fandom is just too big for RSS, yo. We broke the internets! Go us!

I came up with a simple plan to fix this problem. I'm posting the actual newsletter on a new journal, and each week when I update I'll post a link cleverly disguised as a cut, and you can click over and see it in the identical faux-journal.

What do you have to do? Nothing. That is the beauty of this whole solution. You just do what you've been doing, minus the part where you stare at the hot mess of code that the feed kept spewing at you and think, "OMG I MUST KILL XIE."

Thanks to everyone for hanging in there while I figured this out -- I'm kind of amazed not one person unsubbed from the feed. Thanks for giving me time to work on it! And now, without any more blah blah blah from me...
