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!

We're an influence. No adj. We just are.

And Alan- I've been sick of BahamutChild for a longgg time. I didn't change it b/c it was still me, ya know? But I've been looking for an excuse to break free.

Fenika, from Feniks, Polish for Phoenix. I should bring back the phoenix av :)

Good, I am sure she needs a nap. Thanks for working so hard on getting AW back up Mac and everyone else.

I like that. That's exactly how I feel about mine right now.

I never suggested you shouldn't. Plus it will confuse ppl.

I wouldn't be surprised if it confused people when you had your old user name too. Probably not so many. But I'm sure there were some.

Auntie Whinney? :e2cry:

No. That's not your Auntie. Your Auntie went to a nice, big farm out in the countryside where she could frolic in the long grass with all of the other glue-nags elderly horsies.

Best! Actress! EVAR!

How -does- one go about changing a forum handle anyway? That's the part that's still confusing me...

But anyway. Hooray for four-day weekend!

You get a four-day weekend? I'm jealous. I only got three days (which is better than the regular two, I suppose).

I think one talks to one of the local bosses. Admin-types, I mean. Not, you know, mafia bosses.

My husband has a compressed workweek, so our weekend normally runs Fri-Sun. On the other hand, he leaves here at 3:15 in the afternoon and comes home roughly 12 hours later. It has its downsides.

That's the first thing that came to mind when I saw it.

Yeah, but at least 'brat' was not a leap from 'child' :)


No. That's not your Auntie. Your Auntie went to a nice, big farm out in the countryside where she could frolic in the long grass with all of the other glue-nags elderly horsies.

Sure sure, and the animals on the side of the road are 'sleeping.'

*takes away your actress badge*

Well, I had to sacrifice a lot of smibbles...

*burp*

It was worth it.

Also, watch out folks, but Mac is on a thread recreationism spree. She's due here in the next few hours if she doesn't repassout first.

Maybe we'll get a name change out of it though. The sportsbar is getting a bit filthy with all the football fans passing through.

Nonononononononono!

How can we tease the Great Mistress with reminders of Post 17 if we're shut down and moved to a new thread?
