Thanks for letting us know about this upcoming event.

I would very much encourage all the members here at ARWZ to go over and participate, if they feel they have something to contribute. Worm's SciFi Haven is one of our more active associate pages, and is a great place to visit.

Dagny is also one of our newest reviewers here at ARWZ. Please feel free to check out her first review published just last week: https://www.arwz.com/zinereviewANJ1.html

The interview is up! here is a snippet:

(AJ) is me.
***************
AJ: Now speaking of Conroy, and Reggie,
LS: Yes,
AJ: They�ve come up quite a bit, as we�ve been talking. Tell us more about Conroy.
How did you come up with him, how has he evolved over the stories?
LS: Conroy was, like so many things in my life, Conroy was never supposed to happen.
AJ: He was an accident?
LS: I had attended a writers workshop, a number of years ago, run by James Gunn, a well respected science fiction author, president of Science Fiction Writers of America, former president of Science Fiction Researchers of America, the only man to ever do both.
AJ: Wow.
LS: He has for many years done two, back-to-back, two-week programs. One program is for writers, and the other program is for teachers of science fiction. And in between, there�s a conference, called The Campbell Conference with the Campbell Award. It�s different than the Campbell Award, don�t get me started on that. So I did Jim Gunn�s workshop a number of years ago, and its two weeks, sitting down with a bunch of other writers, and you just beat each other�s stories up. It�s fun. It�s the last night of the conference, and we�re all sitting around, we�re happy that it�s over, and this line pops into my head. And it comes right out of my mouth.
AJ: Without even thinking
LS: No chance to stop it. No chance to engage any type of monitoring software, right? It comes right out. And the line is, �Put down the buffalo dog, and step away from the bar.�
AJ: Where did that come from??
LS: I have no idea. The room fell dead quiet, and everyone is staring at me. It doesn�t make a damn bit of sense. I said I don�t know what it means, but I avow to write a story with that line.

Thanks Dagny.

Let me know if you're still interested in reprinting it on ARWZ.

Also, did you get the edit of your anime article I sent about a week ago? No rush if you're busy. Just want to make sure you got it.
