Pop-Up ‘Star Trek’ Theater
Space isn’t the final frontier; the London Tube is. Well, it was for a group of possibly dedicated fans who decided to boldly go where few have gone before by acting out a scene dressed in Star Trek-esque uniforms while riding the subway Wednesday. The actors got the pseudo-serious tone of the series right, but the uniforms weren’t exactly identical. Their tunics had a lightning bolt logo, not the traditional Starfleet insignia, and the patch was placed near the righthand side, not the left.

NEWS: Zealandia

But geography textbooks across the world might have to add one more to that list — Zealandia.

Announcement: Seven Deadly Sins: Furry Confessions Anthology
QSFer Bill Kieffer is part of a new Furry anthology: Seven Deadly Sins has been a literary trope for centuries, popularized by Italian poet Dante.

There is horror—especially in Wrath—and erotica—especially in Lust. Experience these characters’ sins. Then, stand and judge…or fall and be judged. Bill has a story in the … Read more
