		<title>Going on Indefinite Hiatus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi gang, So some of you might&#8217;ve been expecting this post for a while, but we&#8217;re going on indefinite hiatus (which is a nice way of saying, &#8220;we&#8217;re probably closed for good, unless something extraordinary happens&#8221;). For the foreseeable future, there&#8217;s going to be no more Basement Stories. This is for two reasons: 1. Obviously [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fiction Submissions Closed, New Readers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At my last count, we have around four hundred stories waiting to be read. This is both amazingly wonderful and sort of intimidating, so for the time being,  fiction will be closed to submissions. This is only temporary, and we&#8217;ll open fiction back up for you all to submit on September 15th. Poetry, nonfiction, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Looking for a Few Good Women and Men</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As has become ridiculously obvious to us recently, we need more people to run this baby than just the two of us. So, we&#8217;re looking for a few slush readers &#8211; mostly to help read fiction (as we get about five or six times the amount of short stories as we do poetry). This would, [...]]]></description>

		<title>And We&#8217;re Back</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apologies for the unexpected absence. Reasons are complex, innumerable, and much too personal and petty to get into here. Suffice it to say, everything&#8217;s under control now. If we&#8217;ve been tardy on our replies to you, exdpect a response from us soon(ish). To be honest with you all, I felt bad about neglecting Basement Stories [...]]]></description>

		<title>Space Saturday: STS-133 and 134</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, as you probably know, if you&#8217;re a space nut like me, STS-134 is going to be the Discovery&#8217;s last flight. NASA&#8217;s kind of slowly phasing out the space shuttles (and, I think, manned flight entirely), so I kind of get really nostalgic every time I read about space shuttle missions these days. Hopefully, eventually, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Call for Narrators</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re looking to podcast some stories from our next couple of issues in the immediate future. I&#8217;ve always been a fan of podcasts, as has James, and we&#8217;ve wanted to make some for a long time. We&#8217;ve finally worked up the nerve to put a few together but have hit a definite snag. You know [...]]]></description>

		<title>Most Important Short Stories</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everything you read, I think, changes you at least a little bit. But then there are stories, or book, that you read that change the way you think about something, or start a lifelong obsession with some topic or other, or just stay with you, for a very long time. For me, these are those [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kickstarter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, kiddos, we&#8217;ve set up a Kickstarter project for Basemetn Tories #4. It&#8217;sshaping up to be a really awesome issue, but also a really, really expensive one, and we&#8217;d appreciate all of the help we can get. Our Kickstarter page is here. (For some reason we can&#8217;t get the widget to embed at the moment.) [...]]]></description>
