The <i>Miscellany </i>was founded in 1973 as a forum for readers of all sorts to come together in shared enthusiasm (and shared curiosity) for an intriguing, engrossing, but (then) underappreciated writer: Virginia Woolf. The <i>Miscellany</i> was able to
bring Woolf into focus and attract her readers at a time when she was still a “minor” figure both in critical reception and in academia. In the pages of the <i>Miscellany</i>'s<i> </i>first 99 issues, one can trace the rise of a complex and multifaceted readership,
and we hope the 100<sup>th</sup> issue of the <i>Virginia Woolf Miscellany </i>will offer an opportunity to reflect on the publication's 50-year history and influence. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

scholars, adjuncts and full professors and faculty who have retired, those who have just discovered the <i>Miscellany </i>for the first time and those who have contributed work to the <i>Miscellany</i> just recently or multiple times, those who have served
as guest editors, those who are members of the International Virginia Woolf Society and have opted to receive print copies (a membership perk), those who access the print versions held in their university library’s collection, and those who read the <i>Miscellany</i> <span style="background:white">only </span>online.

describe some of the ways VWM over the years has contributed to your reading and teaching and scholarship on Virginia Woolf and her circle. Did it remind you of something which you already knew or tell you about something new? Maybe the <i>Miscellany</i> has
inspired you or influenced you or created new friendships in a welcoming community<i> </i>or discuss how you perceive the <i>Miscellany </i>has survived, thrived, and changed, or give us some ways to make it better by suggesting new features. Or cover ALL
of these topics (in 750 words or less by the due date mentioned above). Good luck with that! </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

compare two of them. If you are an academic or independent scholar, you could consider how the <i>Miscellany</i> has shaped your understanding of Woolf studies and reception, influenced your scholarship, or contributed to your academic career through the building
of a community. If you are a “common reader,” you could consider how the <i>Miscellany </i>informed your engagement with Woolf--and with Woolfians. Do you think the non-peer-review status of the <i>Miscellany</i> is valuable for those who wish to share their
work? Are your experiences of accessing the online version of the <i>Miscellany</i> significantly different from reading the print version? Do you prefer one format over the other? What features of the <i>Miscellany</i> particularly appeal to you as a reader?

<p class="xxmsonormal" style="margin-left:.25in;background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#222222">Alec has had the luxury of taking Virginia Woolf for granted as a widely-read, well-regarded author worthy of
publication and attention—as a cornerstone of modernist and feminist thought, of what we might call English literary “canon.” Alec quickly learned that this had not always been the case and that Woolf’s status was, in fact, hard-won. She wonders what role
the <i>Miscellany</i> has played establishing Woolf’s merits, tracing changes in readerly tastes, and cultivating a literary landscape wherein young readers can take Woolf’s accessibility as a given. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
