Tor and Sci-fi team up

Sci-fi channel is going to be promoting TOR books in SCIFI magazine, TV and internet.  Right now all the books are sci-fi but hopefully they'll start doing fantasy too.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

So the question is, "How does EUOL get involved in this?"
The Folly of youth is to think that intelligence is a subsitute for experience. The folly of age is to think that experience is a subsitute for intelligence.

Or "How can a TWGer get a job as an editor there to get EUOL in"  

Either works fine

Hence, we need to come up with a infiltration plan. Now we just need to find the right operatives, give them cool gear, send them in.

Well, the cool gear probably consists of some white-out and a ball-point pen.

Yes. But a clever ferret.

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Well, if only I could get my body to do the impossible twists and turns that Nefer can, I'd make a happy ferret.

Have you met Nefertiti, Chimera? She's awesome. Though you have to watch your toes when she's around.

No, I haven't. I've never been invited to Spriggan and 42's house because they don't like me.  :'(

I have met Beaker though--EUOL's bird. Beaker actually let me hold him this last Tuesday, but then went back to EUOL at the first chance he got (apparently he doesn't like girls). However, he does like to talk to me. And he knows if he hears my voice that there is a chance he may get out of his cage. I yell, "Beaker!" when I walk down the stairs and he just flips out. The funniest, though, was when I was talking on the phone to EUOL and he said Beaker wanted to talk to me so he put the phone near him and I cried, "Beaker!" and he started chirping and yelling "Beaker" and would not calm down. I'll take that as some sort of sign of affection.

The only thing Beaker's ever done in my presence is run into the living room door. Poor Beaker! Well, he did let me hold him, but only for a little while. Neferititi can fold herself in half, though.  :D I need a pet. A cat. Anyone have a spare $300 to give me so I can pay the pet deposit?
