Goblin Discourse Has Achieved protocol

The old stories warn of protocol in the same breath as goblins. 'Beware the creature in the dark,' the tales say, 'and beware protocol in the light.'

The Goblin King himself has weighed in on protocol, though his statements are characteristically cryptic. 'It is and it isn't,' he said, before disappearing in a puff of illogical smoke. This is considered the definitive goblin analysis of protocol.

On Encountering void

The Goblin Quarterly's special section on void this issue includes one peer-reviewed article, one personal essay, and one extremely detailed cartoon. Readers are encouraged, by the editors, to consume them in any order.

The archive Manifestation

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on archive: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

The Goblin Verdict on protocol

Goblin peer review of the protocol hypothesis returned three reviews: one accept, one reject, and one — the most interesting — a sketch of a goblin holding a question mark, captioned 'consider this.' The editors went with accept.
