As some of you may know, wiliqueen has a role in a production of Pride & Prejudice that runs through next weekend. I've been toying with the idea of attending the Halloween performance dressed as a zombie - I haven't read the recent Pride & Prejudice & Zombies parody, but I like the idea. Today wiliqueen told me that tickets for the Halloween performance are reduced to $10 if...

So, as threatened, I showed up green this past Saturday at Wizard's Chicago Comic Con. Here's an overview. I've had a long fannish association with the LoSH, beginning with my first round of comic readership in the 70's. My earliest recalled stories include reprints, I think, of early 'Adventure' backup strips, as well as full-blown stories in 'Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes', such as...

As a kid, I loved the short scientific investigation summaries posted in "Reader's Digest" and other such short attention-span magazines. There'd be just enough detail to go "Wow, neat!" without getting bogged down in all the technical language. I just found a website right up my alley, Not Exactly Rocket Science , full of interesting bits and blurbs. Let's see... wiliqueen , you might enjoy...

OK, so I've been semi-obsessed with The Rocketeer since '91, when the movie came out. The design was just, so... keen. My old comics store in Saginaw tried to get me interested in the title years earlier, but I wasn't biting. Seeing the whole package on the big screen, though - I WANTED that rocket! AND the jacket! AND the Helmet. (And possibly Jennifer Connelly, in that order...) And since I...

It doesn't look like much next to the breathtaking productivity of some fanfiction authors who have shared this meme, but my 2008 was unprecedently prolific.  This was also the year I discovered ficathons.  (I suspect a connection, oh yes.   How did Bill Watterson have Calvin and Hobbes put it?  "I work best under pressure." / "You work only under pressure.") 2008 is the last year for which ...

I posted my galpalficathon story from November to fkfic-l (272 recipients) in the closing hours of New Year's Eve, hoping to tidy up and close out the old year for a better start on the new.  One spellcheck-immune typo has been corrected since the ficathon, but the piece is otherwise unchanged.  My thanks to wiliqueen for the prompt, and much_madness for the beta-read. ...
