Early morning ear-burning
Something I found in my early morning blog glancing.
Cuuuuuuute.
Anyway. If this means more regular updating of SFBlog, I'm all for it. Though I seriously wonder why they're not using the changing of the guard to implement per-entry comments. It seems like they're shooting for a community rather than simply being a news and information site, and community building begins with the capacity to participate and discuss.
On the other hand, the drama implicit in something like Science Fiction Fandom might lead to frightening consequence. (Though I doubt it would be significantly more intense than, say, Webcomics fandom.)
"Can I share information about new developments in Science Fiction?" I asked.
"Yes! Yes!" he enthused. "This you can do, and more!"
"Can I discuss Science Fiction Fandom, conventions, and other fannish activity?" I asked.
"Yes! Yes! Discuss them like the mighty wind, you can!" he cried, sweeping the flaming staff through the air in a great arc.
"Can I pull a new word out of my ass and get it into Wikipedia?" I asked.
"No, so sorry," he said, "you cannot. But you can pull other things out of your ass!"
Cuuuuuuute.

Re: ha!
(I once knew a guy who, in a fit of pique over my decision to read up on a political cause that someone I was seeing at the time supported, declared that he felt it would be beneath me to "swallow a man's bibliography." A week or so later, I went out, bought my first dildo, and named it Bibliography. God only knows what kind of toy I'd have to buy in order to latch onto someone's lexicon.)
