Over at CM, they suggested role players have a secret symbol you can leave out on your desk that only other role players would understand. This way, we can meet each other without coming out.

Well, depends if people *want* it to be a bi-weekly column.  I have a lot of material, but it was really just an idea I was throwing around.  I'll write more if you guys like it.

As a nerd girl just recently out of the closet, I have to say I want more MsFish. Though I'm not sure of the extent of my nerdiness, since I have mixed feelings on role-playing. I may only be a literary nerd.

Guide me, oh wise one!  ;)

I didn't get an email from you.  

Where did you send it?

I didn't get it there either.

Yeah, I think I can do every other week.

I have to say that this is one of our better-written columns. If you can do one every other week, rock on.

and we've had (including inactive ones and the CoH blog) all of 5 columns. SO when he says "one of the best" he's saying that you spank me in quality.
