Did we miss anything? Got news for next Sunday's report? Send it to spandexreport@gmail.com.

Not an actual Report, but I've been thinking. Between us four mods, we've got what we like to think of as a decent section of the PR fandom either friended or known to us (except for kikos_ai who's a lazy slacker). But we are missing things. So this? Is a link-a-palooza!

Comment with any or all of the following:

- Communities that relate to PR, be they art, fanfic, icons, news, what-have-you.
- Fanfic writers. They can be from LJ, IJ, fanfiction.net, ficwad, rangerfiction.net, anywhere, so long as they write PR fanfic.
- While we're on fanfic, fanfic archives work too. If you know of any that tend to get PR fanfic that we tend to not feature fics from, link us, please.
- Artists. As of right now, our main source for PR fanart is DeviantArt. If you know any PR artists who post elsewhere, please share.
- Vidders. I know we don't have all of them. Do you know someone we're missing? Are they posting on a different video site, like Veoh? Let us know, please?
- Messageboards. Are we missing any that have regular talk about PR? Can you link us?

Note 1: These do not have to be your personal comms/fics/art/boards, though we'll take that too.

Note 2: We're trying to cover all of the PR fandom, we don't/won't play favourites or not link something simply because it's not something we would personally not read/view. Really. We're easy like that. :) Please link away.

Or, if you'd rather, email us at: spandexreport@gmail.com

The Spandex Report (mini)
Because you know you want Bridge's glove
April 22, 2008

News
Mid-week report! Basically we have two minor pieces of news that are on a time limit, and it would be best to note them now instead of Sunday, when it would probably be too late for at least one of them, and too hard for people to gather money in time for the other.

- The last few reports have all noted in the schedule that the next new episode, "The Blind Leading the Blind", airs on Toon Disney at 8:30pm on April 27th. That's this coming SUNDAY, during an associated marathon, instead of its usual Monday time. Though if you have fast enough internet service and are in the United States (or have a good proxy), you can watch the episode online right now.
- Matt Austin has put a signed copy of the script for Once a Ranger pt. I up on eBay to help raise money for a charity for cancer victim support, in memory of his mother-in-law. In addition to Matt, the script is signed by the other four Retro Rangers' actors (Johnny Yong Bosch, Sally Martin, Emma Lahana, and Richard Brancatisano), and if the bid hits over $200, he will throw in one of Bridge's black leather gloves for free. The auction ends on April 29th at 9:10pm PDT (Apr. 30th 5:10am UTC/GMT). As of this posting, the price is at $112.50 and has already had 11 bids.
