...when the little monsters come to our doors, begging for candies. But we remember the old days, when Hallowe'en meant something more than just trick-or-treat. (All right, http://www.strangehorizons.com/2004/200 ... in-f.shtml]the "old days" were 2004. Fine.)

But it has just been made plain to me that that classic tale of eldritch horror has been unleashed upon the world http://escapepod.org/2005/10/27/ep025-t ... d-pumpkin/]as a podcast! Is there any among us strong enough, brave enough, and fearless enough to download and listen to that tale? (Well, yes; I'm downloading it as I type.)

Okay guys.
I hate considering this.  I honestly do.  But recent developments concerning the Alternates story The South Is Rising, in conjunction with recent IRL events has forced me to consider this.
I may very well have to completely drop my involvement in Fenspace.
Trust me, this is not some passive-aggressive backlash at the sudden productivity seen in the recently developing stories.  More like it is a distraction that I can no longer afford in my life.  Essentially, I'm focusing too much on stories and creative writing and not enough on my Naval career.  As some of you may understand, that's a good way to get an administrative separation and I cannot afford that.
I will still work on my other projects when I have the time to do so.  But right now, Seventh Fleet demands too much.
Also, I won't yank the Roughriders out of the picture so readily - that'd be just plain mean-spirited on my part.  I'm willing to leave that to someone else (or several someones) to manage if they think they can handle it.  They can defer to me for guidance, but for the most part I can no longer spend the time I would like to spend on this.
So if anyone feels up to the task, please say so.

In case anybody's missed the news - http://dirty-pair.rightstuf.com/]Dirty Pair TV Collection 1 is due out in less than a month. Sub-only, but that's (a) better than what we have now, and (b) to be expected from Right Stuf. (Have they dubbed anything since Tylor?)

Oh, hey - remastered video! And a brand-new interview with Haruka Takachiho, creator of the Dirty Pair!

Everybody's happy about this!

Thoughts about Sailor Atalante's elite squad.
The name, A-Team, was a joke somebody cracked when they were first putting the team together because it was well established at the time that the leader of this team would be the newly established Sailor Atalante (A-Team = Team Atalante).  Of course, things being the way they are in Fenspace, the name stuck.
A-Team is comprised of the best skilled or gifted of the Senshi's ranks.  Those that have biomods are classified as Aces.  Others could have easily been OF-6 field operatives.
I don't have much on the others as of yet, but I now have the framework of a backstory for Sailor Atalante.
Mary was orphaned at the age of seventeen along with her twelve year old sister.  Rather than be seperated by the State, she ran.  After a chance run-in with some fen, she procured some wave for herself, and handwaved the car her parents left behind.  Of course, she wasn't fully up to speed about the needed safety requirements, but she got off lucky.  Her little sister, being very fond of the Disney animation, The Little Mermaid, had been watching the film while helping her sister wave the car.  It had the effect of granting them both mermaid-like traits.  They are both fully amphibious and possess very fine scales in their skin (they're so fine that you think they're wearing glitter until you look at them -very- closely).  They can also withstand extreme cold and have retractable webbing on their hands and feet.  They can spend as much time on dry land as they like, but they'll start to miss being out of the water after a week or so.
More to come on the others later.  Gotta run.
