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.

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!
