I've Gone And Done It.

Yes, that's right, I took the plunge.
Did I do what?
Heh.
I signed up for a consideration as a "Guide" on "About.com".
Pray for me, man. It takes up to eight weeks for them even to get back to you.
What did I write about?
Shatner's new book series that's to be released in October, 2007.
Say what?
oh, you didn't know?
It's to be called "Star Trek: The Academy - Collision Course".
Yep, it'll have all our favorite characters: Sarek, Amanda, Sam and Jim Kirk, Spock, Finnegan, Mallory (you remember Mallory and Marple, the two ill-fated security guards? Well, even if you don't remember their evil ends at the hands of a dart-throwing plant and an exploding rock, you'll be excited to know that you'll be meeting Joe Kirk, Jim's father.
Not that we haven't read about Kirk's father before - he's been in a Star Trek novel before this one.
The first book of the series is billed as a: "fast and fun warp-speed novel".
We'll see.
In the mean time, I'm hoping to get the okay from About.com to go ahead and interview Shatner myself. In addition to wanting interviews from someone like Shatner, they'll be looking for interviews with people from new sci-fi series, which means to me: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA!!!!
Imagine that. Even my Hubby is all excited that I might get to interview someone like Edward James Almos. Now that would be fun!
So about the pay- $750 per month would be fine with me if all I had to do was schedule interviews with TV series actors, or movie actors, and write the darn interviews. I'm smart enough to go to a few bboards to get the buzz and find out what people are really looking for. Then it's just up to me to ask the right questions!
Imagine that: me, a buzz-creating-scifi-geek-freak.
It could be sooo exciting!
I'm just a little nervous about getting the position.
They're looking for a reporter, really.
While I never went to journalism school, I did manage honors English in high school, and took some courses in college. was also a librarian for many years. Let's hope they like my 'tude.
