[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] The [i]original[/i] Hellfire Club was an English group of political dissidents back in the 1700s. The Hellfire Club I've been to in New York had good music and good drinks, but was a little heavier on the S&M, bondage, and fetishism than the Hellfire Club we X-Men readers usually think of... Now, swerving back on-topic (*GASP!*), a gallery is a wonderful idea, but what about writing? Essays, short stories, new series... Creative spasms like that, y'know? And a location for in-the-works prjects, specifically to seek input, opinions, and collaboration would also be a good idea. Persoanlly, I'd like permission from the various UP3 contributors to take what's been written and re-write it so it all has a consistent "sound" to it. Promise I won't change anything important without consultation and consensus. I know how to do technical writing -- I've been a fan of the Jane's guides for most of my life. I have two projects already underway. The one I'm currently revisiting I've titled "Jane's Fighting Ships of the Federation Starfleet, A.D. 2380 Edition. I was about to start a thread in DAC or S&T, but this caught my eye. It's like when the kids go off to college. You've got some space that isn't being used for its original purpose, so you need to do some minor renovating. I want to see the Trek section collapsed into only two fori -- Real-world stuff related to Trek (behind-the scenes tidbits, actor news, episode/movie discussion, etc.) and in-universe stuff (science, timeline, all the fictional stuff). I'd like to see the "Sci-Fi" section renamed "General Sci-Fi", with fori for Star Wars, Doctor Who, BSG, Stargate, maybe one for literature, and one for vintage sci-fi -- old movies and defunct series. Then the "Community" section would have the Officers' Lounge, the Gallery(ies), and a less incendiary Flameboard, perhaps renamed "The Soapbox" or "Hyde Park Corner" or some such... And add a short FAQ that noobs have to read before they can post, or something to that effect. I took the time to lurk for a bit before I signed up and began posting, in order to get a feel for the place and the people inhabiting it. I didn't want to ask questions that had already been answered. I didn't want to post observations that had already been made. But, as we all know, not everyone is that conscientious about a new space they're entering. And that's my three pounds, eight and sixpence, and three farthings. --Jonah [/QB][/QUOTE]
