why I do not do fandom (with apologies ..

[bardiphouka]

to trekkers and browncoats or whoever).

I used to, I truly did. To the best of my knowledge I am the only phouka/chaun ever to graduate Star Fleet Academy and I served on the Aquila as a xenolinguist. I have even had fanfic published.

And I do miss the camaradie, this I will freely admit. But I also got to the point where I had to say to myself, self (and when myself hears that tone of voice it knows I am about to have a serious conversation with me)this is all well and good,but don't you think you could spend a little time in building your own universe?? Now there is a concept. and a dozen or so stories later I pretty well have started. So it is not that I have anything against fandom,I just have,hmm,,different, things to spend my imagination on.

Speaking of which..my own new year's resolutions..coming soon to a post near you.

Wow, our worlds aren't just small, they've practically collided. Sorry I don't remember that ... but I think half my brain is fungus now. We'll have to chat about what all else we have in common, since you seem to have the better memory!

Was that the Context that was held in Blue Ash? I think that was the last one I attended.

No..this was at a hotel in Columbus.x number of years ago. Laura Resnick I think had just published or was about to publish her first non romance novel. And I want to say you were working for Writer's Digest? And of course there were the MAMs

Yep, I worked for Writers Digest Books for seven years. Best job I ever had.

And you were in on the Malts After Midnight crew, too? Wow, my memory is worse than I thought. It's scary. And I feel like a total chump right now.

We will definitely have to sit down tonight and chat!
