This interview was very interesting, esp. the insights on storylines, characters, and the writing process. Thanks.
And I know it's the wrong list, but I would like to take the opportunity to express my appreciation of PBW's latest story on ascem; The Latest Dream I Ever Dreamed. It's hotter than Vulcan.
Surely now there are enough S/C stories to guarantee a Golden O category? (At least 5 stories by at least 2 authors.)

PB remarked:
> there's a description of the zine community as something like the scientologists. You only get admitted to successively higher levels as you prove yourself to be 'one of us'. Now, imagine some rogue scientologist setting up a web page that admitted *anyone* to the upper levels of Hubbard's empire, and the reaction there'd be from the hierarchy - you're stealing *some* people's reason for living. Not only were they authors and editors themselves, but they thought that new authors and editors could only come about by the laying on of their hands.<
Say, that's pretty interesting. I can't speak for the print vs. web issue, but fanfic as a cult--gee. Well worth mulling.
It does, of course, cause me to inquire whether there's L. Ron Hubbard slash. Not to be confused with L. Ron Hubbard squash. Might be a North American joke...
Good thoughts on what makes Chekov tick, too, btw.

Sort of OT, but my brother-in-law is at the L.Ron Hubbard New Science Fiction Writers (or something like that) award banquet tonight. He got 1st place in the contest for one quarter this year.
Tonight we hope he will win for the year. Either way, very proud of him (even if he doesn't write ST)

Is there? LRH/Tom Cruise, perhaps?

Good grief, is he at the center in LA on Sunset? How long has he been a Scientologist?
Scientologists in LA have a bad requtation. If you saw Bowfinger, the way that film pokes fun at Mind Head it is about how it is, except darker.
There is an amazing section in Mike Davis' _City of Quartz_ about how the founder of Cal Tech, Milliken, and L. Ron Hubbard used to hold the occaional orgy. Maybe this has slashabilities.
Did you know William S. Burroughs was a Scientologist in London long ago?
I suppose you could substitute Freemasons or the Illuminati (if I believed in it) for Scientologists in PBW's original quote.
Anybody know anybody in the Illuminati?
