First thought: Sponson! That’s perfect, Geoffrey. I had been looking for a word to describe these arches. Ah, yes, wikipedia and dictionary.com tell me that they are extensions off the hull for things like fuel […]

Frank Wu commented on the post, Fast Versus Slow Zombies 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Two comments.
1. I see a parallel between the speedification of zombies and the speedification of mummies that happened in 1999 with the first Brendan Fraser movie. Before that, mummies (e.g., the Universal […] -

RK’s comment on being on a dino dig (33) not being all that it’s cracked up to be…
Ya know, I think this just depends on the individual. Some people are just wired so that they LOVE looking for needles in […]

18 out of 50. I’ve got some work to do. I’ve done: 1, 3, 4, 10, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 31 (if you count the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror for freefall), 33, 35, 36, 39 (does SLAC count?), 45 (does sitting in the […]

Frank Wu commented on the post, Art + Fandom ≠ Fan Art: Definitions 3 months, 3 weeks ago
I’ve also heard the suggestion of renaming the Hugo “Best Fan or Semi-Pro Artist” to acknowledge that fan art, by WSFS constitution standards, can have stuff in “semi-prozines”, which are allowed to pay people a […]

Frank Wu commented on the post, Art + Fandom ≠ Fan Art: Definitions 3 months, 3 weeks ago
I’ve been waiting to weigh in on this issue (though it was nice to see Leah and John say nice things about my art – thanks!). But it’s something that comes up frequently in my daily life. Every once in a while, […]

Frank Wu commented on the post, The Clubhouse: Five words every fan should know 3 months, 3 weeks ago
I don’t have a problem with “mundane” – dictionary.com gives a definition as “common” or “ordinary” while the whole point of working in science fiction/fantasy is to escape the ordinary – our minds travel through […]

Thanks, Leah! Great article. And a couple of these terms I didn’t know.
What I faunch for is the original artwork Frank R. Paul did for the Amazing Stories covers, which are probably lost to time (maybe […]

“The reality is that scientists spend months or even years between “Eureka” moments.”
This is absolutely true. When I was in grad school, once every two or three MONTHS, I would discover something – usually […]

Brianna and I will be there, too, it turns out. Usually, we only do Arisia as our Boston-area con, but this year we are doing both!

I should also add that the game will be released in October for iOS (iPhone / iPad / iPad Mini).
We’re a small team making this team; so we are all mutli-multi-hyphenates. In addition to lead spaceship […]

Hey Leah! Two things:
1. Quit holding back on us! What are the “three dozen terms (including some not in very common use) whose definition would not have been obvious to fans in the 1950s and ’60s.”? Dying to […] -
Frank Wu commented on the post, Who Cares About the Science in Science Fiction? 4 months ago
Hey, Mike, I’m totally right there with you. I always considered “Star Wars” (one of my all-time favorite movies, ya know) “space fantasy” and not “science fiction”. It ceases to be “science” fiction the moment […]
