Astonishing reading

lazypadawanSorry I haven't had much to post lately. The past week at work has been very stressful and that can drain on my inspiration.
However, all is not lost. For one thing, the SWPAS is close to completion. Once it's ready to rock, I will let you know. But I have ideas for it...and no, I haven't forgotten about the t-shirts.
One idea is to try and get an interview with fan Jonathan L. Bowen, who wrote Anticipation and the book I'm reading now, Revenge. Like its predecessor, the book could've used a really good professional editor to help keep Bowen focused, but also like its predecessor, it often makes for fascinating reading. What's interesting is that in this new book, Bowen mentions how he had trouble finding a publisher for Anticipation and then getting any media interested in booking him for interviews. They all felt that Bowen's generally positive attitude toward SW, particularly the prequels, wasn't representative of fandom. Quite amazing. Maybe I can get Bowen to name names ;).
I've already started working on my fanzine collection of A/P fan fic. It's sort of fun, like a throwback to my zine days in the '90s. It's even more fun because I don't have to edit or wallow through people's submissions ;).
