I notice some Trump-worshipers jumping into the discussions. Clearly, they have misunderstood the name and purpose of this community. Which sounds like something the Election Thief-elect would do. Gosh, don't know how Elected-by-the-minority Trump is goi...From the blog of John Rogers
While the series was on the air, co-creator John Rogers regularly posted Leverage commentary on his blog, as well as answering questions from viewers. Following are a few excerpts that I found of particular interest to those of us in fandom. ksl E-mail qu...Book rec

This is now a well-populated community, I'm happy to see. So I am wondering--when you saw "Cranky Old Fangirls," what were your expectations for this community and/or your reasons for joining? Why did that name "speak" to you? And related to those expecta...So tell me . . .
Based on what I've seen so far, I'm curious to know--am I the only member of this community whose involvement with fandom pre-dates (by multiple decades) the Internet? kslFanz iz weerd
And I include myself in that. Because--in spite of having the entire series on DVD, available for viewing/binge-watching at any time--I still cannot resist parking myself in front of the TV every time ION Television shows a Leverage marathon . . . :-)Spock Doc
For those who are interested, the documentary about Leonard Nimoy and Spock, directed by his son Adam, currently is showing on cable on demand. I first saw For the Love of Spock in July at a backer's screening, saw it again on demand at a hotel when I was...MFU zines and other stuff for sale

I wrote this post once already, but I seem to have lost it without posting, so let me try this again. Is anyone here interested in my posting the transcript of the first ever K/S discussion that was held at a con (in 1977)? It was one of my contributions ...Shatner and Nimoy
There was a discussion several years ago on my K/S e-mail list about the relationship between William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy. I will share here what I did there, as it might be of interest to this group as well. My participation in the discussion inclu...Star Trek pro novels

I'm curious. Along with being "old and cranky," has anyone had any opportunities to mentor newer fans (who may or may not be chronologically older than you)? This comes to my mind because, in the last couple of years, I have found myself in that situation...Protocol question

Back in the day, decades before e-mail discussion lists, LJ, Facebook, Imzy, etc., we had . . . letterzines. It was not unusual for an ongoing letterzine to suggest a "topic of the month" for the next issue, and subscribers could write in on that topic. (...What type of zine do you read?
The term "zine" is pretty broad, to be sure. So I am wondering about the zines that are read by the community members--what interests do they cover? And are you into print zines? E-zines? Both? kslInteresting newspaper article
