Starting a new website - Issaries fan policy a problem?

Hi all,

I've been toying with the idea of adding a couple of Glorantharelated  pages to my website, but am wondering if the Issaries fan policy is going to make it a bit of a pain to manage. Would it be true that, even assuming a license had been granted in the first place, every subsequent update to the website would need to be run by Issaries for vetting before posting to the site? The site would not be simple campaign writeups, but "campaign content" - myths, maps, rules variants, clan writeups, etc. All bog-standard "fanzinelevel"  (ie VERY amateur!) stuff, but this seems to be problematic now with the fan policy.

For reference, I tried checking out what other people had been adding to their websites since the fan policy cropped up, and have actually found almost no new content in the "approved" sites (on the glorantha.com links page) since that time! Without being too provocative, this has got to be linked, right? Would I be correct in thinking that the lack of any published Gloranthan material whatsoever - fanzine, UW (pdf or no), or official - over the past year or two (when was Men of the Sea?) is all tied into the fan policy issue also?

If so, how is it working out? Are the creative HQ floodgates going to be opening up any time soon? There seemed to be such a marvellous flood of stuff with HW and then HQ - it's quite a shock seeing it all dry up like this!

Cheers,

Sarah
