New Kid on the Blog
Well, let's see how this goes, shall we?
At PPMB ...
~ Congratulations to John Takis, whose third commercially published "Star Trek" short story (in the "Strange New Worlds" story contest) has now qualified him for membership in the Science Fiction Writers of America.
~ An intriguing thread on "Quinn's difficulty with physical contact" has been moved to Deep Thoughts.
~ A new Iron Chef, "Smoke 'em if you've got 'em" (characters committing suicide), and a revived one, "I guess it runs in the family" (based on "I Don't").
~ Richard Lobinske is up to Part 4 of "John Lane 8 - Killing a Legend."
~ "Where's Mary Sue When You Need Her?" is at Part 4.
~ A new poll asks: "Who Rules: Nurses, Lifeguards, Cheerleaders, or Barmaids?"
At SFMB ...
~ Tafka is running a challenge, wanting to elicit artists' distinctive styles from their creatively copying a piece of "Daria" video box art, from "The Old and the Beautiful."
(That VHS tape, by the way, "School Dysfunctions," was one of several sold only outside of North America, in PAL-standard format.)
Added to fanfiction.net ...
~ "Twisted Sister" by Janet Martini
According to The Irony Maiden, "Daria" has risen back to 19th place in the we-want-DVDs tabulation at tvshowsondvd.com, "after nearly a month at number twenty."
And finally, I hope to be able to help out frequently with Dariadom reports and some spurs to interesting discussion topics. It's a pleasure to do this with J.B.
