I don't know how "we" feel about fan fiction. It doesn't excite me that much. It's like any other writing: good, bad, indifferent. I don't write fan fiction. There are only a few "universes" that I know well enough to to write in and, I don't want to expend the time in a universe that I don't own. Yes. I am that freaking arrogant.

I hate steam. It has all the characteristics of spyware, advertises constantly and, is always loading an update. All I want to do is play Civilization. I don't want any of the bullshit that goes with Steam.

I like all of it.Weber has opened up the Honor-verse to other authors. I cheat though- I listen to audiobooks on my MP3 player

The SyFried channel has a tendency to do none of the above in their home made crap. They don't even know what science fiction is anymore. The quality of their made for TV movies is shit. The last thing they did worth looking at was BSG and that years ago. I'm very critical of Hollyweird in general. No industry gets paid better to produce pure bullshit. The SyFried network in particular because they used to be worth a damn and now fill their schedule with Ghosthunters idiocy and wrestling. Laughing cat is just being silly.

To not low ball the production, demand good writing and get a good cast.

I'd go back to 1996 and tell myself that when I met Lee to make it a one night stand and then run like hell and change my number.

I was talking about David Weber's Honor Harrington series- 16 books+ and still going. Making your point about how convoluted these things can get.

Yeah- the Honor Harrington thing has split into several branches. It's gone from being a conflict between Manticore and the Peoples Republic of Haven to Manticore & Allies against the Solarian League: a huge association of worlds that covers most of the galaxy in a faux democracy run by trans-stellar corporations. Whee! That's a war across most of the known galaxy. Lot's of room for drama and 700 page epics.

No. Just no. STOP. BAD MONKEY!

Oh my God! I'm laughing my ass completely off! HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THUMP! The Service of the Sword is a collection of short stories and novellas. One of the stories is called A Ship Named Francis. It's the funniest damned thing I've ever read. You must find it and laugh your ass off too. wikipedia entry: A Ship Named Francis by John Ringo and Victor Mitchell Sean Tyler, a corpman in the Royal Manticorian Navy, thought that a stint as a loaner in the explosively-growing Grayson Space Navy would boost his career. So, when there was a slot vacant on board the cruiser Francis Mueller, his wish was granted. Unfortunately for Corpsman Tyler, no one told him that almost everybody on board the Francis—from the clueless captain to the psychotic XO and the panicky chaplain—had been sent there because no one else in the entire Grayson Space Navy wants them. Hilarity ensues...

Here's an idea: Batman has been done to death. Why doesn't Hollyweird make something else? How about: or maybe Either would be much better than

Sink holes don't just form on land. They can form at sea where they are called blue-holes and attract a lot of attention from divers and fishermen. This one is the Great Bluehole off Belize.

There are several different types of sinkholes but by far the most common are caused by bed rock that has been dissolved by the action of ground water. The two types of bedrock that are most susceptible to this type of erosion are limestone and dolomite, which are widespread. In the United States, we see the most sinkhole activity are Florida, Louisiana and Texas. However- this sort of geological activity is everywhere. This sink hole below occurred in Central America. They can be quite destructive and strike completely without warning. Some occur after periods of intense rainfall while others appear to strike completely out of the blue. Sometimes people attempt to fill in sinkholes with traditional landfill and the additional weight of material makes them collapse even more! It has been suggested that the use of fracking for natural gas production causes sinkholes but that doesn't hold water since they occur at the same rate as they did before fracking came into use and areas where no natural gas is extracted. The problem is that 1) humanity has spread out into areas that were once only wilderness, 2) we have a geologically active planet and 3) we have not paid particularly close attention to geological stability when we build and, clearly we are going to have to start. It may also be a good idea to do geological surveys of major metropolitan areas to avoid serious problems in the future.
