Tippi N Blevins:	Is there any particular background type stuff you wanted to know? GA

Tippi N Blevins:	I was 5 months old at the time. My dad was working there and brought me back. :) GA

HOST EBK Astra:	OldWolfGaidin, welcome to the O*W*C - tonight we are interviewing author Tippi Blevins. 
HOST EBK Astra:	Hi Wolf :)
HOST EBK Mars:	Can you tell us what you find so compelling bout vampires, Tippi?
OldWolfGaidin:	Hi, Host Astra :-)
Tippi N Blevins:	Well actually when I was 4 or 5, I was petrified of vampires. Blame it on late night
Tippi N Blevins:	Hammer films...
OnlineHost:	KNITEMARE87 has entered the room.
HOST EBK Astra:	KNITEMARE87, welcome to the O*W*C - tonight we are interviewing author Tippi Blevins. 
HOST EBK Astra:	Hi Knite :)
HOST EBK Mars:	And here's a question from Cybling: Midnight``> i would like to know how you got from
HOST EBK Mars:	writing stories to getting published
KNITEMARE87:	Hey astra, mars, java, nin, wolfie, and tippi
Tippi N Blevins:	and at the same time, I was also petrified of sharks...
HOST EBK Astra:	If you have any questions, just put them up on the screen. We won't use protocol, unless y'all get outta control :)
Tippi N Blevins:	so, being one to dislike being afraid, I started reading up on both... and I think I'm
Tippi N Blevins:	interested in vampires because...
Tippi N Blevins:	as a writer, I'm interested in the immortality of the written word, so to speak, so
Tippi N Blevins:	symbolically, vampires kind of represent that. GA
OnlineHost:	T83BIRD has entered the room.
HOST EBK Astra:	T83BIRD, welcome to the O*W*C - tonight we are interviewing author Tippi Blevins. 
Tippi N Blevins:	For Midnight: The road from writing to publishing has sometimes been a long one...
HOST EBK Astra:	Hi T :)
T83BIRD:	Hi, all.
HOST EBK Astra:	If you have any questions, just put them up on the screen. We won't use protocol, unless y'all get outta control :)
OldWolfGaidin:	Hi, T-bird. :-)
Tippi N Blevins:	I started researching the markets that published the kinds of stories I like to read and
Tippi N Blevins:	write, and targeted them with my stories...
T83BIRD:	Will mainly lurk and learn.
Tippi N Blevins:	...my first publications were in very very small zines, very obscure, but it gave me the
Tippi N Blevins:	confidence to keep going and trying bigger markets. GA
Tippi N Blevins:	what was the next Q? sorry
HOST EBK Mars:	yes it was.
HOST EBK Mars:	Blackjack...did that answer your first question?
Tippi N Blevins:	Sorry I've gotten a little lost
HOST EBK Mars:	Don't worry about it Tippi...
OldWolfGaidin:	Evening, Host Mars :-)
KNITEMARE87:	We all get lost ;)
Tippi N Blevins:	Did Julie have a question?
Javacakejulie:	What is your take on the vampire mythology?
Tippi N Blevins:	I remember it scrolling by
HOST EBK Mars:	Julie wants to know: What is your take on the vampire mythology...
T83BIRD:	Tippi, sometimes we getso lost in here that we need find out that we're not found.
Tippi N Blevins:	Julie: it varies. I've written humorous vampires because it seems like most vampire
Tippi N Blevins:	fiction out there is about cool suave guys, and I wanted to look at something a little
Tippi N Blevins:	different. But I've also written what might be considered more standard type vampires...
T83BIRD:	What are some of the *Vampira* types you've done?
Tippi N Blevins:	I'm not sure if you mean vampires in general or in my own writing, but I think there's
Tippi N Blevins:	more to vampires than blood drinking, and I want to try to see what other angles can be
Tippi N Blevins:	taken. GA
KNITEMARE87:	Are you a Buffy the Vampire fan?
Tippi N Blevins:	Someone asked about comics
HOST EBK Astra:	Er, Knite ... Buffy's not a vampire.
HOST EBK Mars:	Okay...Donna wants to know...
OnlineHost:	BLR WIZ has entered the room.
HOST EBK Mars:	You're working with Top Cow. Are there are preferred comic writers that inspired you to
HOST EBK Mars:	work in comics?
HOST EBK Astra:	BLR WIZ, welcome to the O*W*C - tonight we are interviewing author Tippi Blevins. 
T83BIRD:	Hey BLR
KNITEMARE87:	I meant Vampire Slayer
Tippi N Blevins:	Donna: I'm honestly very new to comics. I have a lot of history to catch up on. ..
BLR WIZ:	Hi Astra, Mars, Tippi, T8, Kni, Old, Jav, NIN
HOST EBK Astra:	Hi BLR :)
HOST EBK Astra:	If you have any questions, just put them up on the screen. We won't use protocol, unless y'all get outta control :)
Tippi N Blevins:	...I used to read the well-known titles, like X-Men and Superman, Batman, when I was in
Tippi N Blevins:	highschool, and then it went by the wayside...
OldWolfGaidin:	"BtVS", I believe is the preferred abbreviation.
Tippi N Blevins:	and now that I'm picking it up again, after a reading hiatus, I've really been enjoying
Tippi N Blevins:	things like Codename Knockout from Vertigo..
Tippi N Blevins:	...which I think is just self-aware in the best way, and snappy and funny...
OldWolfGaidin:	Hi, BLR
Tippi N Blevins:	and I want to see how my story writing translates into the visual. :) GA
HOST EBK Mars:	Okay...if you have any questions for Tippi...just ask.
Javacakejulie:	what are your influences
HOST EBK Mars:	Okay...and another from Donna:
Tippi N Blevins:	Donna: please email me thanks! I'd love it. www.tippinblevins.com has a link
Tippi N Blevins:	GA
HOST EBK Mars:	Tippi: would you mind if I suggested a few? Some that will likely put your head i a twist
HOST EBK Mars:	but are wonderful all the same
HOST EBK Mars:	Tippi: would you mind if I suggested a few? Some that will likely put your head i a twist
HOST EBK Mars:	but are wonderful all the same
Tippi N Blevins:	Knite: Yes, I am a Buffy fan! I really enjoy the way they;'re able to use humor, action,
Tippi N Blevins:	and darkness all at once. GA
T83BIRD:	Tippi, earlier I was not clear enough, I guess.  How do you portray female vampires?
OnlineHost:	TAMirabile has entered the room.
Javacakejulie:	What is your favorite vampire novel
HOST EBK Astra:	TAMirabile, welcome to the O*W*C - tonight we are interviewing author Tippi Blevins. 
T83BIRD:	Hey TAM
HOST EBK Astra:	Hi TAM :)
TAMirabile:	Hi, Tippi
BLR WIZ:	Hi TAM
HOST EBK Astra:	If you have any questions, just put them up on the screen. We won't use protocol, unless y'all get outta control :)
TAMirabile:	Hi, T!  Astra!  BLR!  Java!  KNITE!  NINL!  OWG!
Tippi N Blevins:	Julie: Oh wow. Probably too long to go into them all here. Although I didn't agree with
Tippi N Blevins:	Ayn Rand's politics, I did take something important from the Fountainhead, when I was in
Tippi N Blevins:	high school, about sticking to something you believe in...
Log Entry:	Other Worlds SF Chat [Members - 10] 11/15/2002 10:15 PM
Tippi N Blevins:	...and about believing in your work...
OldWolfGaidin:	Hi, Tam :-)
Tippi N Blevins:	...and actually, someone like Richard Ellis who writes marine biology books in such a way
Tippi N Blevins:	that it is as entertaining as fiction influences me. I learned that a good story is a good
Tippi N Blevins:	story, fictional or otherwise...
Tippi N Blevins:	...and one of my first editors, Alayne Gelfand, really pushed me to keep trying to find
Tippi N Blevins:	unique vampire stories to write. She wouldn't take "easy" stories from me. GA
KNITEMARE87:	I agree completely
OnlineHost:	Techyo has entered the room.
HOST EBK Astra:	Techyo, welcome to the O*W*C - tonight we are interviewing author Tippi Blevins. 
T83BIRD:	Hi Tech
Tippi N Blevins:	ok!
HOST EBK Astra:	Hi Tech :)
Techyo:	Hi Tippi and ALL!
BLR WIZ:	Hi Tech
TAMirabile:	Hi Tech
HOST EBK Astra:	If you have any questions, just put them up on the screen. We won't use protocol, unless y'all get outta control :)
OldWolfGaidin:	Hi, Techyo
KNITEMARE87:	Hiya tech
Techyo:	Stop looking at me, Astra, I'm in control.
HOST EBK Mars:	lol
Tippi N Blevins:	T83: I don't think I particular go at it from a perspective of "how should I portray this
Tippi N Blevins:	female vampire?" so much as "how do I make this character believable and interesting"
Tippi N Blevins:	female or otherwise...
HOST EBK Astra:	HA!
T83BIRD:	Betterthan being in Kaos, Tech.
T83BIRD:	Thanks, Tippi.
Tippi N Blevins:	and even then, it's not so much about making them interesting, but about finding an
Tippi N Blevins:	interesting character, and finding ways to get that to come across on the page...
T83BIRD:	afk
Tippi N Blevins:	One female vampire in my story "The Promise" was a hemophiliac, which I understood to be
Tippi N Blevins:	rare among women, and another in "The Tale of Inaya and the Feeder" was the founder of
Tippi N Blevins:	vampire "hunters" GA
HOST EBK Mars:	Thanks Tippi...and T8 says thanks as well.
HOST EBK Astra:	Tech, maybe I should ask ... in control of what? :)
Techyo:	X:
OldWolfGaidin:	Tippi, how do you develop your characters?
KNITEMARE87:	Strange, i am a hemophiliac
KNITEMARE87:	And it is very rare in women
HOST EBK Mars:	Your writing seems more about the "humanity" of the characters, yet it is just below the
HOST EBK Mars:	surface. Do Many readers miss the subtlety?
Tippi N Blevins:	You can find that last story on my site, by the way, in the library:
Tippi N Blevins:	http://www.tippinblevins.com GA
HOST EBK Mars:	Folks...just a reminder...
Tippi N Blevins:	Barry: Interesting question and thanks!....
HOST EBK Mars:	Please DO NOT private message Tippi...
HOST EBK Astra:	The Dog-Faced Boy!
HOST EBK Mars:	If you have a quesiton for her put it on screen or private message me.
BLR WIZ:	Do you haunt the local cemetarys for mood or to get location ideas?
OnlineHost:	Javacakejulie has left the room.
Tippi N Blevins:	...I obviously don't know any real vampires. The only way I can relate to them amd then in
Tippi N Blevins:	turn for the reader to relate to them, is to get to their human core, I guess...
Tippi N Blevins:	And I think most readers do get the distinction. Actually it's probably more editors who
Tippi N Blevins:	don't... ;)
Tippi N Blevins:	How many markets have I seen closed to the idea of a vampire story without even reading
Tippi N Blevins:	it?
HOST EBK Astra:	Gee, she's inferring editors aren't human? <g>
Tippi N Blevins:	And in a way I can understand, because most of them probably ARE about the usual tropes...
Tippi N Blevins:	...but I hope people will read the stories and make up their minds for themselves....
T83BIRD:	bak
OnlineHost:	Pimpmerritt has entered the room.
OnlineHost:	Pimpmerritt has left the room.
Tippi N Blevins:	Along those lines I have a special for Cybling chatters:
Tippi N Blevins:	http://www.tippinblevins.com/library/dreams/gone-prev.htm is the first few pages of a
Tippi N Blevins:	novelette in my new book! GA
HOST EBK Mars:	And another from the OWC: Javacakejulie:  What is your favorite vampire novel
OnlineHost:	RowrBasil has entered the room.
HOST EBK Astra:	RowrBasil, welcome to the O*W*C - tonight we are interviewing author Tippi Blevins. 
BLR WIZ:	Hi Rowr
HOST EBK Astra:	Hi Rowr :)
HOST EBK Astra:	If you have any questions, just put them up on the screen. We won't use protocol, unless y'all get outta control :)
T83BIRD:	Hey Rowr
RowrBasil:	ok
TAMirabile:	HI, Rowr
Tippi N Blevins:	Julie: Probably Interview, for nostalgic reasons, plus the format of the book is very
Tippi N Blevins:	unique, I think, or was back in its day...
OldWolfGaidin:	Evening, Rowr
Tippi N Blevins:	...I know that's kind of a common answer but I have old fashioned tastes ;) GA
HOST EBK Mars:	Thanks Tippi!
HOST EBK Mars:	And we have a couple more from across the ether...
HOST EBK Mars:	OldWolfGaidin:  Tippi, how do you develop your characters?
Tippi N Blevins:	OldWolf: Ooh that's hard to say...
Tippi N Blevins:	I think I just try to get to know them and listen to them and put down on the page as
Tippi N Blevins:	honest a portrayal as I can...
OldWolfGaidin:	Thank you, Tippi
Tippi N Blevins:	I've talked to a friend about this, but it's like peeling an onion, and you keep peeling
Tippi N Blevins:	away layers...
T83BIRD:	She's right, OWG.  If you listen to your characters, they'll tell you everything you want to know.
Tippi N Blevins:	to get deeper and deeper into the core of a character. If a motivation comes too easily,
Tippi N Blevins:	I'm sometimes wary and try to look closer at why they might be doing what they're doing.
Tippi N Blevins:	GA
OldWolfGaidin:	Ah, I see, T-bird

HOST EBK Mars:	Tippi...I have a question here from OWC: BLR WIZ:  Do you haunt the local cemetarys
HOST EBK Mars:	for mood or to get location ideas?
Tippi N Blevins:	I really appreciate the messages and the interest but I get lost too easily :)
HOST EBK Mars:	Understood Tippi...
HOST EBK Mars:	Folks..you can always email Tippi via her website...
HOST EBK Mars:	And if you have a question for her...feel free to PM me, but please don't PM or IM

HOST EBK Mars:	I have a comment from Khael that it puts a nice spin on Vampires...
Tippi N Blevins:	I look forward to seeing it then GA
HOST EBK Mars:	I love her online journal and admire her guts in doing such a thing. And did she survive

Tippi N Blevins:	conlady: This may sound odd, but I absolutely adore marine biology, science, and
Tippi N Blevins:	evolutionary theory books...
HOST EBK Astra:	If you have any questions, just put them up on the screen. We won't use protocol, unless y'all get outta control :)
Tippi N Blevins:	I can't get enough of them...
T83BIRD:	BTW, for about $16.95+ you can order a set of custom vampire fangs from a catalog of one OldGlory.com.  They come in a coffin-shaped box.
OnlineHost:	TAMirabile has left the room.
Tippi N Blevins:	I'm reading one about coelacanths whose author unfortunately escapes me... and love
Tippi N Blevins:	Richard Ellis... and Carl Zimmer...
BLR WIZ:	Do you have to send in an impression of your teeth T8???
Tippi N Blevins:	And John Maisey...
RowrBasil:	Are there some vampire-themed books you just can't get into, and wonder why?
Tippi N Blevins:	And I'm reading about Egyptians now too, for my comic book! ;)...
T83BIRD:	No, BLR.  The fangs take the impression when you put them on.
BLR WIZ:	OK
Tippi N Blevins:	And I enjoy Laurel K Hamilton's fun vampire books, though I'm behind on her series. GA
HOST EBK Mars:	RowrBasil asks Are there some vampire-themed books you just can't get into, and wonder
HOST EBK Mars:	why?
KNITEMARE87:	Tippi: What time period in egyption history?
Tippi N Blevins:	Rowr: Hmm... I think the true horror books, like Lumley's, escape me, because of that old
Tippi N Blevins:	childhood fear of vampires, I guess. GA

OldWolfGaidin:	Hi, E cat
Tippi N Blevins:	About the new book: http://www.tippinblevins.com/library/dreams
HOST EBK Mars:	did you start writing poetry first or prose?
Tippi N Blevins:	Janice: Prose. But I was horrible at it. Truly, truly horrible...
Tippi N Blevins:	and poetry was a way for me to get to the essence of storytelling...
T83BIRD:	Hi E (spacebar stuck)
Tippi N Blevins:	my first story attempts were your typical "And they turned out to be Adam and Eve!"
Tippi N Blevins:	things...
Tippi N Blevins:	...or things with no plots and no real characters...
Tippi N Blevins:	just long wandering pointless things...
Tippi N Blevins:	and poetry forced me to be concise...
Tippi N Blevins:	and to learn an economy of words...
HOST EBK Astra:	Maybe Stephen King should take up poetry .... :)
Tippi N Blevins:	I don't know if I always succeed now, but I'm at least more likely to know when I screw
Tippi N Blevins:	up. ;) GA

HOST EBK Mars:	Do you go to Conventions? and Super Nova is a nice poem
Tippi N Blevins:	Conlady: I do go to conventions, though not as many now as I used to. I try to make

Tippi N Blevins:	<----bad about remembering sequence of events

HOST EBK Mars:	Now I see you have one story up there right now... is this the first? And how often do
HOST EBK Mars:	you plan...
HOST EBK Mars:	to rotate the stories?
BLR WIZ:	We had an interesting question come up in chat last night Tippi.  If you ate vampire flesh would you become a vampire?  Even if it was cooked well done?
Tippi N Blevins:	I have two up now. "The Tale of Inaya and the Feeder" and "The Dog-Faced Boy and the
Tippi N Blevins:	Amazing Winged Man"...
RowrBasil:	And with onions.
Tippi N Blevins:	the first is a vampire story and the second is science fiction...
HOST EBK Mars:	Okay...because we have a comment from the OWC that makes just that point about DFB.
HOST EBK Astra:	Rowr, shouldn't that be garlic?
Tippi N Blevins:	I plan on putting up "Gone", a novelette from my book...

Tippi N Blevins:	Conlady: I don't think I set out to write any particular genre of story...
T83BIRD:	::::::::just wondering if anyone has ever done a story about a vampire who could function in the daytime:::::::
Tippi N Blevins:	an idea comes to me in various ways and I poke at it in my head until it seems like enough
Tippi N Blevins:	of a story...
Tippi N Blevins:	and then I start putting it down, and sometimes it's mainstream, sometimes it's humor,
Tippi N Blevins:	sometimes vampire, etc...
HOST EBK Astra:	Sunscreen, T :)
Tippi N Blevins:	basically, I just go with what takes hold of me. :) GA
T83BIRD:	True, Astra.  I was wondering if such stories actually exist.
HOST EBK Mars:	Thanks Tippi.
BLR WIZ:	T8, in Forever Knight tv series he got amnesia and could go out in the sun until he got his memory back.
OldWolfGaidin:	T-bird, according to "Kindred:  The Embraced", vampires can go out if they're recently fed. :-p
T83BIRD:	thx BLR
HOST EBK Mars:	Blackjack would like to know...
OldWolfGaidin:	Sunblock SPF 666, Astra :-)
HOST EBK Astra:	::: chortle :::
OldWolfGaidin:	(a borrowed joke)
HOST EBK Mars:	Do you consider yourself a popular author yet...if so...when did you decide that was
HOST EBK Mars:	so...and if not...
HOST EBK Mars:	when will you think that it is so.
T83BIRD:	::::or maybe 6651/2, OWG:::::
BLR WIZ:	Or in John Carpenter's Vampire, the purpose of the Reverse black mass was to allow the vampire to go in the day.  they stopped it in time.
KNITEMARE87:	chortle?? DO i need to do CPR again?
Tippi N Blevins:	Blackjack: Hmm I don't think I consider myself popular. It's always a bit of a pleasant
Tippi N Blevins:	surprise to see my name on something...
Tippi N Blevins:	the unfortunate thing about writing...
T83BIRD:	thx again, BLR
Tippi N Blevins:	is that once your story is published, you don't usually have a way of knowing what people
Tippi N Blevins:	thought of it, or even if people read it...

Darkomik77:	sbr, piranhas will definitely clean you out
OldWolfGaidin:	No, you didn't mention that, janice.  Thanks. :-)
SBRinNJ:	Hi Der
DerHexer:	Hi all
Darkomik77:	yo der
BLR WIZ:	Hi Der
T83BIRD:	Hi Der'
OldWolfGaidin:	Hi, Der :-)
SBRinNJ:	Dark--that they would...
Araiused:	Hi, Der
janicemars:	Once I got the people over in Cybling to stop sending her Private Messages asking if she preferred boxers or briefs on men...
HOST EBK Astra:	Re Author Chats ... Don't Be Late. Authors only chat for 1 hour usually.
HOST EBK Astra:	DerHexer! Pull up a beanbag and make yourself comfortable in the Other *Worlds* Cafe! Author Tippi Blevins has finished her Koffeeklatch, so now it's Open Chat for Science Fiction!
janicemars:	She had a great time.
Araiused:	Poor Zyxt,  I wanted to keep him company :)
SciFiDog:	I like to cook.  and like to do windows.  ( but not laundry.) If I liked man's parts, I'd be the perfect wife. :-)
E cat s:	Hi Der :)
HOST EBK Astra:	Authors need to be reminded not to answer strange messages :)
SBRinNJ:	"Man's parts"...  (chortle)
janicemars:	LOLOLOLOL.
HOST EBK Astra:	LOLOL
STARMOM79:	Hi, Der
Darkomik77:	now about women's parts, well, there's a reason for not having a roommate
HOST EBK Astra:	We have BAHWolf next Friday, and Allen Steel a week from Monday!!!
HOST EBK Astra:	Steele. Shame on me
janicemars:	So has everyone been over to Brian Hopkins website to check it out for next Friday?
SBRinNJ:	Any relation, Wolf?
OldWolfGaidin:	Neat, Astra :-)
SBRinNJ:	;-)
OldWolfGaidin:	Not that I know of, SBR. ;-)
BLR WIZ:	A busy month.
janicemars:	And next month will be busy too, BLR.
HOST EBK Astra:	Jan, I can't wait to say 'The BoS is here."
janicemars:	LOL..
SBRinNJ:	So which do you prefer, Astra?  Boxers or briefs?  ;-)
SciFiDog:	Dark?  What?  you got wimmin roomies who pee standing up?  Koic! :-D
janicemars:	Well let me give you the URL since it's so hard to remember...
janicemars:	http://www.bahwolf.com/
HOST EBK Astra:	Oh, boxers.
SciFiDog:	kommic, rather.
janicemars:	Right now I'm reading SALT WATER TEARS by him...
T83BIRD:	It  will be good to have Brian back again, if only for an hour.
Darkomik77:	that's one of the reasons, sci ;)
janicemars:	and I have a copy of Allen Steele's new book...to start reading for the 25th.
janicemars:	Though luckily, I've read both of the hugo nominated stories that are in that novel... COYOTE
DerHexer:	I must be doing something wrong.  I've been checking out new SF from the library.  I read 50 or so pages, and put it aside.  Its just not grabbing me.
Araiused:	Jan, the more reasons to connect to SFG ;)
HOST EBK Astra:	I like Hopkins' "Licking Valley Coon Hunters Club"
BLR WIZ:	At the BEEP the time will be THX.
Araiused:	Which authors, Der?
BLR WIZ:	BEEP
SBRinNJ:	Dark, was it you who was saying that Farenheit 451 was shelved the other night?
OnlineHost:	FlaBeacher10 has entered the room.
janicemars:	Indeed, ARa.  But it's going to require that I learn such things as sockets and object oriented programming...
HOST EBK Astra:	FlaBeacher10! Pull up a beanbag and make yourself comfortable in the Other *Worlds* Cafe! Author Tippi Blevins has finished her Koffeeklatch, so now it's Open Chat for Science Fiction!

OldWolfGaidin:	Hi, Fla
BLR WIZ:	Hi Fla
STARMOM79:	Hi, Fla
HOST EBK Astra:	What authors have struck out, Der?
DerHexer:	You know, Ara, I can't even remember names. That's how little impression they are making on me
E cat s:	Hi Fla :)
STARMOM79:	I assume you're from Florida, where?
SciFiDog:	one of the reasons i'm not in fandom... it subtly bosses you on what to read.
OldWolfGaidin:	I've found Locus online useful for catching up on the new stuff.
BLR WIZ:	afk
FlaBeacher10:	w palm area Starmom
HOST EBK Astra:	Nah, Sci. I read boom books no matter how much they make fun of me :)
Araiused:	You can stand your ground, Sci
SciFiDog:	( just finished Kress' "Probability Space"  today.)
Darkomik77:	hey if somebody subtly bosses me to read something I'll show him Lovecraft
HOST EBK Astra:	I finished a Kress last night too. But it didn't *sound* like her at all.
STARMOM79:	How was it, Sci?
DerHexer:	Nancy Kress Probability Space was one.  You all talked her up so much.  Did nothing for me.  Maybe I'm doomed
E cat s:	I think JD like PS a lot.
SciFiDog:	yeh ara... but if you are going to vote.. you're obligated to read the nominee's submissions.
HOST EBK Astra:	Der - you like real hard science, right?
STARMOM79:	Der, did you read the first two, Probability Moon and Probability Sun?
OldWolfGaidin:	Der, I felt that way about twenty years ago.  I missed all the cool science fiction of the Eighties. :-p
OnlineHost:	FlaBeacher10 has left the room.
Darkomik77:	or preferably stick a plush cthulhu in his face
DerHexer:	Right, Ara, wet hard throbbing science fiction ;-)
HOST EBK Astra:	I finished Bear's VITALS - really techno-involved.
SciFiDog:	Der.. Prob.Space is the THIRD in a series.
Araiused:	Still, Der, Perdido grabbed you.
STARMOM79:	Der, read Sheffield's "Spheres of Heaven".
SciFiDog:	Astra... were they tasty???   LOLOL
DerHexer:	Perdido did grab me, but the next one by Mieville didn't
STARMOM79:	Scar?
SBRinNJ:	Going to call it a night.  Take care all!
DerHexer:	Scar, yes.
HOST EBK Astra:	Night SB!

T83BIRD:	Nite SBR
HOST EBK Astra:	The book was rotten, Sci :)
DerHexer:	I may just be going thru a slump.  My big planning project is winding down and I haven't had a vacation in 11 months
HOST EBK Astra:	Der, go read some of the old pulp stuff. Get away from the new stuff. Re-read some old favorites
OldWolfGaidin:	That's how I get back into science fiction, Astra.
SciFiDog:	Astra... try Brin's "Kiln People" to cleanse your palate of Bear's Vitals. ;-)
DerHexer:	I have been, AStra.  Redreading Man in High Castle, and finished Tunnel in The Sky
BLR WIZ:	bak
OldWolfGaidin:	Reminds me.  I'd like to reread "Startide Rising".
Darkomik77:	I'm gonna reread The King In Yellow
Darkomik77:	just to set my mind in chaos
HOST EBK Astra:	Whenever I'm in a slump, I read old Niven books. Like Lucifer's Hammer. Or Ringworld. Or Pohl's 1st Heechee book
SciFiDog:	OWG... good book... too bad he went from there to idiot-unreadable.  It seems like he just got off acid  lately!
T83BIRD:	OWG, you might also reread the first in the series: "Sundiver."
OldWolfGaidin:	Oh, my, Dog.
STARMOM79:	Who Sci, Niven or Pohl?
Araiused:	Startide Rising, Sci?
DerHexer:	Someone dumped off most of RAH's juveniles in paperback at the used book store.  I snatched 'em up.  That'll keep me going
BLR WIZ:	When in a slump, I read some old Andre Norton books or watch an uplifting movie like Starship Troopers.
OldWolfGaidin:	I've read "Sundiver", T-bird.  I thought that "Startide Rising" was better.
HOST EBK Astra:	Oh cool, Der!
SciFiDog:	OWG. I'm sure you are dyslexic and meant to say "Oh, My, goD."
HOST EBK Astra:	*uplifting*, BLR? The movie or the actresses?
OnlineHost:	Athanor IX has entered the room.

BLR WIZ:	The movie Astra.  Or perhaps The Wrath of Khan or Aliens.
OldWolfGaidin:	I dunno.  The later HeeChee books seem to have wierd sex in them.
Araiused:	Everything OK over there, Ath?
SciFiDog:	nah... y'all.  the very last two uplift books sucked in the worlds worst and most unreadable way.
Athanor IX:	The tornadoes were to the west, north, and northeast of here.

janicemars:	LOL...is there something infantile about Trekky... or am I thinking about it too much.
PMSallume:	It's like 'Ricky' Shroeder wanted to be called Rick
BLR WIZ:	In my book, the Trekkies are the original fans and the Trekkers are the johnycomelatelys.
Darkomik77:	you know yer a trekker when you drink the water from Delancy's glass when he a cold
HOST EBK Astra:	I'm a Trekker when I take hikes. Other wise, I'm an old Trekkie.
SciFiDog:	um, so-called "wesley" was the only one in the cast who was computer savvy and liked us fangeeks and related to us in any way.
OldWolfGaidin:	You know you're a trekker when you have the Enterprise up on blocks in your front yard. :-)

PMSallume:	I just can't get past Bakula being there
BLR WIZ:	.I missed recording the Enterprise Wed.  I turned every clock back but forgot to turn back the VCR.
DerHexer:	If I get this job I'm angling for, we'll be moving to Boise, ID.  The redhead is all excited about being close to the outdoors.  I'm at two with nature
janicemars:	Though I already know 30 gazillion people would be in line in front of me, and they'd all be behind Astra.

OldWolfGaidin:	But when never get to see "Chef".
PMSallume:	Like I said..he's a great actor.  He was on broadway before television
