I linked you on the TW front page, but I don't know if that affected it at all.
News:
"Magic is what makes fantasy fantastic," someone says, "you can't apply rules to them or else it loses wonder!" I respond, "Sure, but if you want to write them you will certainly want to know how they work." Writing is all about execution, and I find applying some basic laws of physics to magic systems make them more understandable and realistic. Here, I'm going to outline my basic method for developing a magic system.

Stan Lee came into my office today. One of the editors got his Captain America shield signed.

I definitely don't see the big deal against halloween. I loved the ward halloween parties (including the spook alley on the stage) when I was little. And trick-or-treating was fun even though we couldn't eat any of the candy (because we have hypoglycemics in the family). We always made very creative costumes. One year I was a Macintosh SE/30 (made out of cardboard). I think my sister and I were both telephones at times.
I think skull masks are stupid, but there are lots of cool things you can do on halloween.

I would definitely go to chiropractors before doctors for back or neck pain.

(Updated 24 August 2004)
J. Michael Straczynski has been offered two different series pending contractual negotiations and formal pickup by the networks involved. Straczynski does not know which deal will be completed first. Straczynski says they could both be very cool to work on, but one of them could be insanely successful. More information should be available in late October. It is unclear whether the positions he has been offered are "Show Runner" positions.
In June 2004 Straczynski spoke of an offer for an Executive Producer position on a new network series. He doesn't usually work on shows that he doesn't create or develop, but when he heard what this project was, he had to get on board. This might be one of the two series currently in negotiation.
(Neither is Trek-related, just to nip any potential rumors in the bud.)

Chris got some books signed by Gaiman and Pratchett, but I don't think anyone got Gemm an autograph.

I say, potentially a good thing. Looking forward to it.
If it does well, we may see a lot more sci fi series on TV.

bittorrent. actually, downloading movies, tv shows, and mp3s MAY be legal. UPLOADING of all 3 is definitely not legal. but everyone who downloads via bittorrent also uploads. it's how the program works.
