[RFC] [URGENT] Worldcon flyer? - M Fnord - 08-07-2008 So as most of you know, I'm at Worldcon this week. While looking at the fan pamphlet area, I had the thought of setting out a flyer for Fenspace, just to see if we get any new interest. I've got a flyer design blocked out, so all I need to do is print it out & get a few billion copies made. Is this a good idea? Respond ASAP.

I must admit, it might be interesting to see new people come into Fenspace. If you're willing to post the flyers, I say go for it. - Cobalt Greywalker - 08-07-2008 Fnord, remember that if any new interest is generated it means more work for you as Moderator/Chief Editor. Do you think you can cope with that? - Shinkaze - 08-07-2008 I know I haven't been active recently , but I say if you think you can handle an influx of new people then go for it. - Bob Schroeck - 08-07-2008 I'm certainly not averse to this. Go for it. -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. - robkelk - 08-07-2008 If you point them at the story collection (so that they can get a feel for the setting first), then I don't mind... -- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of the same sovereign, servants of the same law." - Michael Ignatieff, addressing Stanford University in 2012 - M Fnord - 08-07-2008 For good or ill, the flyer's created and will go out as soon as I can find a copier to make a hundred or so copies. What happens next... we'll see. Mr. Fnord interdimensional man of mystery FenWiki - Your One-Stop Shop for Fenspace Information "I. Drink. Your. NERDRAGE!" - Bob Schroeck - 08-07-2008 Any chance you can eventually scan it and put an image somewhere we can see it, just to sate our curiosity? -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. - kentmagus - 08-07-2008 Go for it. - M Fnord - 08-08-2008 http://fnord.sandwich.net/fenspace/fenspace_flyer.pdf is the flyer in question. Mr. Fnord interdimensional man of mystery FenWiki - Your One-Stop Shop for Fenspace Information "I. Drink. Your. NERDRAGE!" - Black Aeronaut - 08-08-2008 YUS!!! IT IS WIN!!! Now, all it needs to be pure awesome is some illustration. But I'm not holding my breath. - Bob Schroeck - 08-08-2008 Oh, yeah, Fnord for the win. I agree with BA, an illo of some sort would have been the perfect icing for this cake, but if this doesn't pull in some new folks as-is, I'll be very surprised. -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. - Black Aeronaut - 08-08-2008 I say the illo should be Benjamin riding atop a blazing Magnificent Midnight and waving around a cowboy hat a la that bomber pilot from Dr. Strangelove -or- How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Or maybe something similar with Ptichka and her pet humans.  - M Fnord - 08-08-2008 Find a competent artist who can get that shit done & posted here by midnight MDT tonight (8/8/08) and I'll see what I can do. Mr. Fnord interdimensional man of mystery FenWiki - Your One-Stop Shop for Fenspace Information "I. Drink. Your. NERDRAGE!" - Black Aeronaut - 08-08-2008 I'd say to get onto deviant Art, hop on to their chat channels and start poking. - Norgarth - 08-08-2008 All I'm getting is a blank screen. ___________________________ "I've always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific." - George Carlin - Bob Schroeck - 08-11-2008 So... have there been any signs of results yet? -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. - M Fnord - 08-11-2008 Nothing immediate. I set out roughly 40 flyers out of a print run of 100 on Thursday, and at the last time I checked just before closing ceremonies today about half of them were gone, so. Mr. Fnord interdimensional man of mystery FenWiki - Your One-Stop Shop for Fenspace Information "I. Drink. Your. NERDRAGE!" - Bob Schroeck - 08-11-2008 That could have simply been pamphlet grazing. I guess we'll have to watch for newbies starting in that forum. -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.
