Wow. A week ago I was excited about the New Scientist article, but I had no idea the response we’d receive. 72 new members in the first day was overwhelming and wonderful. Whilst we had prepared for a bit of an influx of people after the article was released—it’s apparent now that we should have begun preparing several weeks earlier. And, while I’m pleased with the way it’s turning out, in a few weeks asexuality will be old news so we’ll have to keep working toward awareness in other ways. It’s odd to think that we’re going from ‘Asexuality—what’s that?,’ to, ‘Oh, please, that was all over the papers last week!’ I suppose that means we’re jumping the shark as I type this.
