On #scifichat on twitter, in September, we set a topic for convention experiences for the following week, and one of the more interesting twit-folk @rixshep found me on Facebook and gave me the following information to relay during the next week's chat -- when he would not be able to attend.
Since RPG and especially online RPG, Star Trek, with a counterpoint undertone of my own Sime~Gen Novels, are going to become an ongoing topic on this blog next year, I wanted to give you these URLs.
---------QUOTED EXCHANGE FROM FACEBOOK----------
Howdy, Ms. Lichtenberg!
I know I don't get to #scifichat as much these days, or to your blog page, as much as I would like. Probably won't improve much in the near future. But, considering next week's #scifichat topic, I wanted to pass some items along to you, that I thought you might appreciate.
Back when I had a lot more time, I used to do a lot of role play on a site known as The Keep. Chat based stuff. Over time, I created a couple of rooms and characters that got a lot of mileage.
One was a typical Dungeons and Dragons / Forgotten Realms type fantasy tavern that was very successful. It was called The Prattling Pirate Inn and Tavern. The other was a scifi tavern that never got used as well, imo. It was The Stardust Lounge on Starbase 12. This one is based on Starbase 12 from Ishmael by Barbara Hambly, and the lounge itself is loosely based on Draco Tavern by Larry Niven.
(By the way, Yesterday's Son by Crispin and Ishmael by Hambly are two of my favorite Trek novels. Another big one with me is How Much for Just the Planet? by John Ford. It is a parody musical, and one of the characters in it is Ann Crispin!)
For various reasons, I think you would appreciate some of what was done with these fantasy/scifi taverns. So, here are the links to these two places. I think you will like the scifi one better.

I will be traveling all day next Friday, so may not get to participate, and if I do, I won't have any of my files available.
Meanwhile, good luck with the contract work on the game!

JL: Oh, thank you! I'm going to put those links into the aliendjinnromances.blogspot.com blog, if you don't mind.
Rick: Not at all. The link for the starbase is in The Keep, and it goes away after a couple of weeks, if I don't renew it. Eventually I will get it added as a distinct page on the other website where I keep the pic of the Prattling Pirate Inn. Hope you like them! Btw, I was thrilled to hear you had a hand in Ann Crispin getting started! Very nice!
-----------Chat Conversation End--------------
You can follow Rick on twitter as @rixshep
He mentioned YESTERDAY'S SON by A. C. Crispin because I had mentioned on this week's chat that I had agented that book -- a topic which came up because the guest for the chat was:
James Kahn who was a (terrific) guest on #scifichat today.

He is @thatjameskahn on twitter
Here's the transcript of the chat:

He has a new book out titled World Enough And Time. Here is a whole page on Amazon with his Star Wars novels and other great stuff:

And I connected James Kahn with one of my favorite talk show hostesses, Lillian Cauldwell. She wrote to him thusly:

---------end excerpt ----------
Lillian's show will be running Black Friday author-specials Nov 22, 2012. http://pwrtalklive.com/
Lillian included a number of times, and he chose Monday, October 8th, 2012. So now, in November, that interview should be available in the on demand section at Lillian's website.
And James Kahn wrote back to me thanking me for connecting him to Lillian and saying we should keep in touch. We're planning to meet at Worldcon in San Antonio.
Now let's see who else we can connect to whom! It's all about networking.
