Look for a more coherent update on the Dradis webpage and later this week in this blog. As you know, the Buzz has had to take some time off due to family distress. We are resuming posting and playing in the SF arena this month.

NaNoWriMo Fan Fic Starts September 15th: What does this mean? It's called Write A Book In A Month, and the Buzz has taken up the challenge because we are crazy.

Unbelievable Science Fiction Writing.
Avid Gamer delivered the following science fiction news: Basically the website is a blog of the game development process of a new online RPG type game - but the story lines and wonderful 'encyclopedia like' entries they post each day are hilarious. I love reading them each day.

Excerpt from creation..:
"where one man would rise up and say "This is mine, it belongs to god!" another would kill him, saying, "No! This is mine and belongs to god!" This all saved God a lot of trouble and God was very pleased."
