You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

My magazine is looking for a new science fiction columnist. We're a monthly publication for a general, nationwide audience, and the column would recommend three books a month, roughly 200 words per book. Here is the most recent column.
We don't pay a lot, but it's a steady gig, plus free books! If anyone is interested, please email me at my profile address, and include writing samples if you've got 'em. We would start you off with a trial review of one book, and go from there.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Looking for L.A.-area teachers. Of course, the awesome Kat and Kristin, but also anyone any Buffistas know in the area who you might like to send this on to. My company is doing a focus-group with educators to find out how our captioned material might be useful in a classroom. It's about an hour long, we provide snacks and the participants get a $30.00 Amazon giftcard. We will hold this at our office in Burbank, so people can see how TV shows are captioned and cool stuff like that. Please contact me or send anyone you know who might be interested my way at robin@captionmax.com

I had a couple of requests to hold the survey open until tomorrow morning so people without weekend internet access can still vote. SO here you go, last chance to vote on dates for F2F 2010: VOTE HERE.
Further discussion will happen in F2F. I will post results tomorrow afternoon.

Hey, y'all.
I don't know how fruitful it'll be, but I'm posting it here as well: I'm looking for war/political photographers to interview as a part of my mini-field work. [link]
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

We are currently (slowly) hammering out final dates in F2F. The top three dates (adjusting for the large numbers of "couldn't make it for June 12-13") then are:
June 26-27 (Providence or Philly; NYC not available)
July 10-11 (NYC, Providence, or Philly)
July 17-18 (NYC, Providence, or Philly)
Is that correct? Please please please speak up in F2F, especially if you are hosting/pimping a city and aren't available for one of the dates your city is listed for. I don't have time to scroll back and find what you said initially, sorry. If it works, I will put this up as the final date choice (everyone picks one date) tomorrow for a final vote. We will then be able to vote on the city.
