Quote:My impression of the fen is that they are the active fans. I know a large number of older fans who have absolutely nothing to do with conventions and fan clubs. I also know a number of what could be termed "fendane" that have normal lives and wouldn't give them up for a flying car. I will explain that. Be patient. Not everything gets explained in the introduction all the time.Ebony the Black Dragon
- You talk about a significant dirtside organization. How? It's plausible that, given time, you could build a fairly large organization of space-based Fen out of "ain't it cool" and "I wanna be like *you* when I grow up", but by and large, the people you can draw in that way *are* in space. Given that, the only real impact you're going to be able to have on the ground is going to be through money, one way or the other. How are your characters going to become rich like that? It's a worthy goal, mind you, but I just don't see it happening with the resources you've got on the table. Fenspace is largely run on a shoestring budget.
