She polishes the last of the glasses, hung in neat little rows over the bar. Checks the bottles lined up behind her, hundreds of them in all shapes, sizes, and planet of origin. Makes sure the taps are fresh and ready to go, and that the blood warmer is set to body temperature (cuz those pesky Vamps hate cold blood).

She looks at the clocks on the wall, set to every time zone (plus a few of the most well-traveled planets and alternate realities). Almost time to open.

Plenty of places to sit. Plenty of food to share. She hopes that all writers of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Spec Fic (plus anyone else who happens to swing by from time to time) feels at home. Able to let their hair down, talk about their day, and just chill. Support each other.


A bell dings. Opening Time!

So there ya have it, folks! YA has their Random Musings thread. TIO has the Landfill. They've got Sunshine Cafe's and Comedy Cabaret's, but now there's....um....this new little unnamed corner of the world.

The "must pertain to the writing of SF/F" rule doesn't apply here. It's a place for folks to be folks. Chat about your WIP, your awful day at work, how much you want a light saber of your very own. I may occasionally merge OT threads here, but for the most part, it's a safe haven for Off Topic conversation.

As for the name, I'm taking suggestions. And then there will be a poll. So far, we've got:

QUARK'S BAR
CALLAHAN'S CROSSTIME SALOON
COWBOY FENG'S SPACE BAR & GRILL
TEN-FORWARD
MOS EISLEY CANTINA

Adding:
The Prancing Pony
C.H.A.O.S. - Cantina for the Haven of Aliens and Other Species
Chaos Alternate Parallel Future Spec World. CAPFSW
The Black Hole
The Restaurant at The End of [The Universe] [Cyberspace] [The Interwebs] [The Internets]
Fred
Ten-Backward
Ten-Posterior
Al Gore's House
Al Gore's alternative prancing posterior at the end of the black hole
Light Sabers & Magic Wands
Universal Planet
Planet Universal
Far Far Away
Once Upon A SFF
42
Portal 42, Destination Earth
ETA: Estimated Time of Arrival
Munden's Bar
The Bar
Watering Hole
Millenium Falcon
Centurion Hawk
Morley's
The Time Lords' Pub
The Mended Drum
Biers
C.H.A.O.S. Tavern



Mix and match 'em, or come up with something new. Let's give this new hangout a name!

The Prancing Pony from Space Bar

(psst, Prancing Pony was the name of that near-Shire bar in LotR, right?)

So, does the first visitor get a free light saber?

...cause sometimes you just need a slap on the hea
How about the "We're So Cool We Don't Really Need a Name Because Sci-fi/Fantasy Isn't Just for Geeks Anymore Space Bar and Saloon"

Um... okay, maybe not. :D

The Black Hole (My serious suggestion :tongue)

Do I get the Red Light Saber for being second??

I'll second the vote for CHAOS. Does have a certain ring to it, doesn't it? LOL!

I'll take a Purification beverage from the Holy River of Cleanliness on the planet Yar'shi'taurine.

They didn't let the slug-cows do their business upstream though, did they? I heard they chased off the slug-cows. It's true, right?

(psst! I know, but that's what the group called themselves)



Sure! :D



Winner! Lock thread!

Joking.... Hehehe, but I likes it.

I'm for C.H.A.O.S....is this Haven going to be a giant thread or a subforum? I vote for a subforum. I find any thread over 100 posts to be disturbing.

Now now, it's not nice to step into a new business and start redecorating, Higgins. If you're feeling antsy, I'm happy to pacify you with my NEW LIGHT SABER! *flails weapon* *blinks* *flails saber again*
Hey! There's no sound effects!
*flicks saber and accidentally slices a table*
Er. Heh heh. I'll just take my drink into the corner
*Practices vrosh-y sounds between sips*

:)

Callahan's! (complete with Punday night. :D )

Or Mos Eisley. Or the Prancing Pony. Or CHAOS. Or...


Ok, just locate it in a revolving alternate dimension so that the name and facade change periodically and no one's quite sure what the reality really is. Yes?

Creepy and wrong.
I was paralysed by indecision. I like CHAOS but The Restaurant at the End of the Universe appeals to the Hitchhiker's Guide fan in me. So I tossed a coin because that's the best way to make an informed decision.

I vote CHAOS.

Hey, cool! I like the CHAOS name (it's a swear word in my fantasy universe ;) ).

Will there be a selection of other beverages than spirits? My mage is a tea-totaller. When he gets tipsy, he tends to blow things up.

:D

Seeing that "Ten Forward" and "The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe" are already taken, I've got these suggestions:

Ten-Backward.

well, maybe not. How about:

Ten-Posterior.



The Restaurant At The End Of [Cyberspace | The Interwebs | The Internets]

Along that same line:

Al Gore's House.


"It was a rough bar. If you didn't have light sabre when you walked in the door, they gave you one."
