Go do more Critical Miss ;o)
Well that might not quite be a question, but there is an answer I can give to it anyway.
But it's a bit long, so I'll do it tonight.
Well this is actually tomorrow and not tonight, but tonight's gone so tomorrow/today it is.
I get asked quite a lot about when I'm going to do another issue of
Critical Miss, and I'm afraid the answer is basically, sometime, but not now.
At the moment, my current game plan is working towards one day (hopefully) being a full-time writer, writing novels, comics and perhaps some freelance newspaper and magazine articles. But at the moment, I have to fit my writing around my day job.
So if I'm writing a novel, which I currently am, then that pretty much takes up all my time. What time is left, I tend to devote to my
blog, on the grounds that I can pump out regular stuff without it being too distracting. I do some gaming stuff on there, and the current plan is to do semi-regular "critical-miss style" articles on it. (It has occurred to me that if at some point in the future I end up with enough of those, I could repackage them into a new issue of Critical Miss for those who don't read my blog).
Stuff like my blogging from our Star Trek campaign (read from the bottom):

If/when I do get to the full-time writer stage (and I'm not holding my breath on that) then it would be easier to justify Critical Miss as an advert for myself. But at the moment, I don't think I can really justify that as doing "the advert" would stop me doing the thing that the advert is supposed to be advertising, if you see what I mean?
As an aside, I am thinking of doing a short-story prequel to Game Night, which I'd publish on my blog. Because a) it would be fun, and a change from working on the novel, and b) it would hopefully serve as a good advert for Game Night).
Hope that makes some sort of sense.
