I walked into my local Borders, and on the way to the Fantasy/SF section, glanced into the "P" section of Mysteries. Where I saw a new hardcover with
the author's name Elizabeth Peters and a huge pyramid. Hard a-starboard, and grab.
Oops.
It's not a new Amelia book, it's a new Vicky Bliss. However, on skimming it (yes, and I look on the Internet for spoilers, too;
what's your point?), I discovered that Amelia and Vicky are now part of the same continuity -- Vicky reveres Amelia -- and a
descendant of Amelia actually makes an appearance in the story. Oh, well. Not as good as a new Amelia book, but better than nothing.

If you find yourself in an existential void a forum, wiki or whatever and they're accepting fic reccomendations, feel free to pimp Fenspace 'cause more eyeballs & more kibbitzing is always a Good Thing. However, and not to single anybody out - Bob - please do have the goddamn common courtesy to name a couple standout Fenspace fics/wiki articles, just to give newbies some Quality to look at instead of wandering blind through the wiki or the forum.
That is all. England Prevails.

One of the things Yuku now allows me to offer here is polls -- both admin- and user-created. And I have a good deal of leeway about where and how to allow
them. Please offer your opinion as to the place of polls on the boards. Thanks!

To the venerable author,
I have to seriously thank you for the random quotes/proverbs/llyrics that appear on your Title Page. Some of those have come up in conversations when
(evil laugh) opportunity presented themselves. I'll even admit I used a one on my Honorable Father.
His reply? "Son, just when I thought you caught some wisdom, You had to take my head off with something like that." as he laughs to himself. (it
was the flamethrower one.)

Originally I was going to post this on the wiki update page, but it snowballed out of controll. I've got a lot done, but I still have a lot to do.
Since this is a community project, I want to get everyone's opinnions on some stuff, so please comment.
Rejoice! Gina and Jess's Fenwiki Articles are up and linked to the Character Listing!
Still some work to be done yet, though. Gotta fix up all the links to other charcters, places, and what-have-you inside the two articles. I'll take
care of that later unless someone else beats me to the punch. And I need to find some photos to go with all my character pages.
Other things on my to-do list for the Fenwiki:
- Make articles for Blackbird Class and Peacemaker Class ships.
- Make an article for the base on 36 Atalante, complete with a 'hangar' subsection linking to the ships used there.
Story wise...
- I need to do something for Jess now.
- Gotta come up with Fenkinders for the crew of the Pegasus.
- Gotta come up with other crews for F-EZig squadrons, Blackbirds, and Peacemakers (after all this ain't just about me anymore).
- Gina gets a body story (Gonna need help with that one since it's going to involve AC).
And I got other stuff in mind, but all that is the more pressing items. As for what I do have in mind...
Well, it's pretty obvious that I'm setting Gina up with Benjamin and eventually the two are gonna want to make it official, cake and all. Expect there
to be one helluva party with pretty much all the SMOF's, BNF's, and then some invited.
Something that I've been thinking about is what direction The Roughriders are going. Initially, Benjamin is going to try and make them into a sort of
mercenary force. However, as thing in Fenspace get bigger and more politically unwieldly, there are going to be factions that declare out-right war on each
other. At that point, the Roughriders should be a large enough faction that Benjamin is able to have them go from being Mercenaries to the Chaotic-Good-Guys
of Fenspace, complete with an iron-clad ethical code as simple and straightforward as the Ten Commandments.
I hope that doesn't step on anyones toes.
Oh, and in case anyone is wondering just how long Ben's going to be around to see this through? Well, let's just say that he eventually pays the price
in the line of duty, but Gina in the Midnight make a miracle happen: they damn-near break The Limit getting him back in-system and to the Professor so
he can be downloaded. That's going to be a helluva story. ^_^

It seems as though The Legendary SG is full, or at least was as of a couple days ago. I hereby volunteer to have the following alts kicked to make room for
others, since I haven't played them in ages or don't intend to any time soon.

In particular, I hate the little graphic smilies provided by Yuku -- because they can replace a perfectly good bit of punctuation with no warning.
I'm of a mind to turn them off entirely for the board. If anyone's got any kind of a reason why I shouldn't, speak now.

I've subforumed and moved story threads older than the end of July into their own area. At least, I think I got all the story threads. Hard to be sure when
I'm doing this in a hurry over my lunch hour. If I've missed anything, please let me know.
Also, I tried not to put "live" threads -- such as Rob's Legend of Galactic Girls -- in the fiction area, even if they're older than
end of July. If there's anything I should pull back out into the main forum, let me know that, too.
Thanks.
