(Heather barges forward with a loopy grin as she crashes the party). <BR/><BR/>Linnea, though you dub it "the crazy genre", I think it's visionary and it's the subject of my most recent post at The Galaxy Express, "5 Ways Sex & Romance Will Save Science Fiction"<BR/><BR/>http://thegalaxyexpress.blogspot.com/2008/07/5-ways-sex-romance-will-save-science.html<BR/><BR/>Thanks for this post because I'm always looking to build my author list at TGE plus I discover lots more to blog about.<BR/><BR/>I can't *not* read about the unknown, the strange, the bizarre. It's all I've ever...known. Whether SF or fantasy or paranormal, it's all magical to me. I get a high from reading it. <BR/><BR/>I think the fans of this genre (readers and writers) embrace strange phenomenon despite survival instincts that tell us we should fear it.
