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!

Note that Gina opened the new Cantina, so I am still the first visitor.

I'd like to thank Gina, for closing the old Cantina while I was online. The smibbles for distracting my competition, and the universe for shining down upon my petty victory.

Hey Gina, are you giving out lightsabers for us? We early birds got lightsabers in 1.0. I'll take a blue if so :D

Tsk. Half a second too slow. Or just typing too long, lol. But I was hitting refresh on the locked New Cantina the second I saw it created. Bwah ha ha. Shameless dedication, I has it.

I knew I should have posted when I got in. Clicked on it while it was locked, got in as it was unlocked, and was too confused on its locked status to post. :(

Welcome to Cantina 6.0

I'll be posting the names from Cantina 5.0 after I finish my dinner.

And yes, I cheated, Fen. :evil

Well next time, the proper thing will be to post FIRST! at the end of 6.0, lock thread, and open 7.0 with Chaos Titan's opening post, and your claim of first.

At which point I will have to battle you to the pain!

Heh, blame Gina for that one ;)

I knew it would be unlocked stat, and that Gina had a plan for her own post, but I was determined to be the first posting non-mod. :D

This is essentially what I did. I copied over two posts. :D

Oh, we have a newbie right on page one.

Hello lonely newbie. Sorry to hear you are down. We have smibbles and magic filling glasses (or will as soon as we get the teleporter working and can bring everything over from the old chat thread).

Sometimes things move fast and folks will 'ignore' your posts by not commenting on them, but hang out and jump in and enjoy the ride. There are many other areas of AW for finding writer friends as well. You can also post in Conquering Challenges if you haven't already. I see you aren't a newbie to AW, but I thought I'd mention that :)

Mmm, it still has that new Cantina smell!

Hi! Pull up a chair, stay a while! We're not crazy around here, not at all.

Of course, we're pathological liars about our craziness, so.....

...I copy-and-pasted....

Well that explains how you came up so fast. When I posted and AW refreshed the page, the next two posts were already up.

This is essentially what I did. I copied over two posts. :D

I've been around here longer than you young whipper snapper. I figured you out quick ;) ;)

And much looking forward to the list of 5.0 names. I am sure I missed some while away studying.

Alright, now that I've secured my spot as the temporary top poster of 6.0, I am off to try and exercise on the treadmill. My neck hurts worse than my shoulder and I'm hoping moving helps.
