It's that time again!  No, it's not time to spin the Wheel of Morality (TM), it's time to select panelists for the Anime Central 2016 Fanfiction Panel!
Anime Central (www.acen.org) will take place on May 20-22 at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare in Rosemont, Illinois.  If you're going to be attending Acen and you're interested in being on the panel, please send the following information:
1.  Your name or preferred handle.
2.  Your real name, if different.
3.  A list of your preferred works, including any you may have written in the past year.
4.  The URL of your website, if any, or where your works can be found.
5.  If you've been on a fanfic panel before, and if so, where.
6.  (OPTIONAL) Why you'd like to be on the panel.
Please private mail me at pmui1@NOSPAMPLEASE.prodigy.net ASAP if you're interested.  The panel will be selected shortly.
(I'm sure you know what to remove--it's in capitals.)  :-)
Hope to hear from you soon!

Okay, I saw it with my nephew..who wasn't born when the movie came out. I'm not going to say much right now for those who haven't seen it. There are some issues I have with how Kasdan developed the world building.What you saw in the trailers is a bit of misdirection by J.J. Abrahms. But I wasn't bored watching it. But I have serious reservations about going back to the movie theater to watch it again.

1)
Ever since I let my current anti-virus upgrade to the latest version, my system has slowed. Also, the software upgraded itself without asking (which I believe is illegal in Canada - even Microsoft software asks permission before updating itself). So I'm looking to rip-and-replace. Suggestions pro or anti any current AV suites?

2)
I find I need a "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tail_%28Unix%29]tail" command, which I can't find in Windows. Is there a decent Win implementation of tail(1) out there?

Doug's already got the original Simon & Garfunkle version in his arsenal (I'd swear it's been used on-camera too) but I'm wondering what'd happen if he got his hands on the cover:

NSFW so it should not be linked.
Notes: Summons/creates Hot School Girls.1. Area affect Skirt Lift....2. Ramps Girls Physical abilities into "12 on the Dial"3. Adds First Strike effect to Girls.4. Targets Guys Including Doug.5. Mentioned Items are Sticky.... Yeah "That" way as well....

Yeah, Bob said the other thread is full, so I guess I might as well start a fresh one. I do have a serious question though, why are you reading my stuff? There's a ton of better writers out there so what am I doing right...or at least not wrong?

Also if you have crossover requests for really esoteric crap they may get answered and who knows, I may actually finish Corpse Lights Big City which has been in process for almost seven years...
