    I'm an ebook reader and have been for quite a while, mainly just that I find it easier when but also environment etc.

    My question is am I doing you guys a disservice by getting the e-version? Are you better off if I was to but hardcopy?

    Why are details for the May book still unknown?

    Don't worry about it. A sale is a sale, and I'm quite grateful for ebook royalties.

    Because it's only February. The Dark Veil was released early January but we didn't learn anything about it until late October, just barely over two months away. So come back sometime in early March if you want to know about the May book.

    That's my guess anyway.

    Super excited if this turns out to be legit. Hopefully it can bring in Titan and DS9 characters for at least a few short scenes.

    Surely this picture should be retired and replaced with Mariner now? :hugegrin:

    What's the source of that picture anyway? I don't recognize the bearded guy.

    I think it's from, "It's always sunny in Philedelphia," I've not seen it but recognise him from the advert Netflix tries to play me every time I log in.

    Yep, it's from an episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

    I remember that episode. Love "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"--I consider it like "Seinfeld" on steroids.

    I don't think steroids are the drugs I'd use as a reference.:shifty:

    Should we start taking bets now? Spatial rift or Q?

    Granted.

    Although two things come to mind:

    1. "All twelve Sulamid sexes claimed to be male. Especially those who bore the children" -- Diane Duane
    2. I've always like the usage of "S/he" and "Hir" with respect to hermaphrotitic species. And I think I may have even used that convention myself, in some science fiction short story (probably in my own "First Contact Corps" milieu) that I wrote for a class at a local junior college.

    I find those both quite clumsy. They're inelegant in writing, and difficult or ambiguous to pronounce.

    You'll never know just how sorely tempted I was to take that as a straight-line for a hermaphrodite joke.

    And you must admit, Diane's Sulamid line was absolutely priceless.

    Krenim, and maybe Q?
