Team Fiend’s Laura Braunstein has partnered with Tracy Bennett to create The Inkubator a new venue specifically aimed at increasing the numbers of crosswords written by women, and paying those women a competitive fee. There’s a Kickstarter if you want to get in on the ground floor of supporting this venture, which will start out offering two new crosswords a month. Inkubator will transition to a subscription model after the first year. I’m in! (And thanks to Ben Tausig for making his AV Club infrastructure available to Inkubator.)
I hope you’re watching Erik Agard’s Jeopardy! appearances. Alex Trebek has gone off the deep end, threatening Erik with a pie in the face! You can watch that video clip here. Tuesday is Erik’s third day on the show.—Amy
