Hey! How was everyone's New Years? Mine was interesting. Had I not been ill with a cold, sore throat, and cough, I might have enjoyed it. I still managed to drag my corpse-like body out to a party where I faked joy and excitement for the "New Year".

So, as for my SciFi interests---

I grew up loving Star Trek and Star Wars. I am also into classics like Robert E. Howard and H. Rider Haggard.

Well, I don't know it it would interest you, but Wildside Press has been releasing a 10-volume set of REH's complete "Weird Works" or fantasy (up to vol. 6 so far) going back to the original publications to eliminate changes since; and they've also been putting out a lot of Haggard's less well-known work as well:


Welcome to Wildside Press -

[SciFiFan111]

I bought the first couple. I look forward to the whole thing. I really like the packaging. Where is everyone? It's awful quiet in my room

Hi and welcome to the chronicles.

What am I into?

Depends on what you mean by "into", doesn't it? I think it can mean "What do you enjoy?" or "What are you a big fan of and know tons about?".

Maybe I'm just complicating things needlesly?

Welcome none the less

[SciFiFan111]

thanks! Anyone hear Weekly World News fans? I've been spending some time at their website because they have these video stories that I have grown addicted to- verrry funny I'll look through and link any stories from their site that you may find funny...get back to ya!

[SciFiFan111]

Hey, how do you link to another site? I am tryin and they are telling me something about having to have 15 posts or something.. what do i do?

[HoopyFrood]

People who haven't made 15 posts yet can't post links, it's a device that stops spamming or people arriving only to plug their websites. Once you reach 15 posts, you can add links...oh, and a note on post counts...posts made in any of the general areas (like the lounge or introductions etc) won't count...you have to get yourself involved in the more "serious" threads

[SciFiFan111]

Ah, ok. I understand. So, I just have to post in other people's forums-- 15 times?

[HoopyFrood]

Well, you're currently on 7, so only another 8! And yeah, just moving around the other areas and posting on different thread where you want to make a comment will raise it.
Actually...we're in the SSF lounge at the moment, so posts in this thread count as well

[SciFiFan111]

Thanks!

Hoopy, we need to get more people in this room--- we are gettin lonely over here! Let's recruit!

[Faceless Woman]

Ok, ok, I'm coming. Greetings and welcome, scififan who will henceforth be known as fifi for reasons known only to me.

Also beware of dancing mice, the basement and the attic. Oh, and cake-bombs, atom-blasters, and Joel aka Jeyne. There's probably other stuff too.

My interests? I'm a high fantasy fan. No laughing. Not all high fantasy is wildly cliched.

For tv I adore scifi, but in books it has a tendancy to spend for time on the tech than on the stories, not to mention usually glorifying the great murderous journey of mankind (etc).

[SciFiFan111]

Faceless, thank you for joining us How was everybody's weekend?
