I write fantasy, with a realistic edge to it. The premise: The diary of a trainee, or side-kick as he learns what it means to be under the shadow of a hero and where his place in the world is. Marty is a recently graduated soldier training under an Ordinator, named Gracon, who is a decorated warrior.

Qapla' Crimson Con Chair, Technicon 24 ( 1 comment | comment on this ) Saturday, February 10th, 2007 1:45 pm - Technicon 24 Needs Hospitality Director and Volunteers anterus Greetings, fellow fans of Science Fiction and Fantasy, Technicon is looking for a few dedicated volunteers for help with Hospitality this year. In particular, we are looking for a Hospitality Director and a few volunteers to help out this bold person throughout the weekend. While the Director will need to be fairly dedicated to his or her job the whole weekend (not saying you won't have time to attend panels and events and have fun, just that you'll have voices in your head the whole time), the volunteers will be needed primarily for specific tasks and will be more free than the Director. If you're interested in the Hospitality Director position, your duties will consist of acquiring a supply of the usual foods we have in Con Suite, acquiring a similar, though smaller, supply for the Staff Room, and ensuring that these supplies are properly managed throughout the weekend. Additionally, since we are not running hot food in Staff Suite this year, you will likely be in charge of coordinating food runs to the multitudinous restaurant-type places for the rest of the staff, so that they can eat without having to leave the hotel. Again, this should not be to arduous a task, compared to last year's duties, but it will require your attention throughout the weekend. If you're interested in being a dedicated Hospitality volunteer, you'll be helping out the Director with the tasks I mentioned above, simple as that. So, if you're interested in either position, please contact volunteers@technicon.org, or just show up to our meetings, which are held at 1400 on Sundays, in 300 Squires (except when we're in 302 Squires, which is right next door), Every Sunday except 4 March, from now until the Con. If you have any friends you think would be interested in these tasks, please, direct them our way as well. Thanks much, Jacob 'Crimson' Dawson Con Chair, Technicon 24 ( comment on this ) Monday, October 2nd, 2006 5:47 pm - Technicon 24 Hotel Updates! anterus Technicon 24 now officially has a hotel: The Holiday Inn: University - Blacksburg!

Needless to say, a number of White Plectrum songs are becoming more familiar to me. Now I know I had heard these before, I'm sure, but which WP songs are filks of say "Werewolf of London" or "Take the Money and Run"? current mood: curious ( 1 comment | comment on this ) Monday, August 16th, 2004 7:12 pm - When they shut down the fusion plant we'll pack our bags and glow . . . nviiibrown Maybe I don't get all the references out there, but I don't quite understand all of this filk. explanations? histories? current mood: curious ( 3 comments | comment on this ) Thursday, February 19th, 2004 10:58 pm - Quotes! rebelsheart (Most inspired by watching The Lion King 1 1/2 .) vond (In reference to a trailer): "Whatever Shinzo is, he's the last one of them."

More or less it runs two applets, one that keeps track of all the dials in the game, and one that keep track of the map and tokens and posistion and stuff. The kicker is that your applet and your opponent's applet don't really talk to each other, you two have to keep each other up to date via a chat program of your choice. (they recommend AIM because of its dice-roller feature in the chat window) current mood: impressed ( comment on this ) Thursday, September 11th, 2003 3:18 pm - New Member Picnic pics nviiibrown I didn't take too many, but here's my set. http://filebox.vt.edu/users/nabrown1/lisadanielleandrewpeg.jpg I'm hoping I got these names right. http://filebox.vt.edu/users/nabrown1/carldanielle.jpg Carl and Danielle try valiantly to find a way itno this conversation. http://filebox.vt.edu/users/nabrown1/indyclix.jpg Indy Heroclix h...
