Again, watching old #Sliders.

The idea that corporations merge by marriage of key parties.

Mad!

Well, yes...

Except that is how a lot of huge economies / countries did its under many monarchies for centuries.

LOL, just thought, re-watching #Sliders.

The worlds they leave, they never come back.

People do not know they "slide" and don't just "die" in the vortex!

Today marks 30 years since Quinn Mallory, Wade Wells, Professor Maximillian Arturo and Rembrandt "Cryin' Man" Brown were sucked into a wormhole and became SLIDERS.

There were five seasons but, for me, once John Rhy-Davies and Sabrina Lloyd departed, Sliders was never the same. Even Jerry O'Connell was gone by the final season, leaving only Cleavant Derricks from the original line-up. The first season is still a firm favourite of mine though, so happy anniversary, Sliders.

Looks like I'm running a backup game for our #Masks group. The players are okay with another #MasksANewGeneration game but with a lighter tone. I'm thinking about a mix of #QuantumLeap, #Sliders, and the #CrossTimeCaper run of #Excalibur, one of the series that really got me into collecting comics.

The overall idea will be a team of heroes who are forced to hop through different dimensions, probably heavily influenced by movies, TV shows, or books that I'm into. Everyone seems to want something lighter in tone and I can certainly do that for them!

#WritersCoffeeClub 24: Fan fiction?

It was how I first started sharing my writing. And technically how I started to roleplay (using characters in the "Sailor Moon" and "Buffy" worlds). Plus me and a friend would sometimes write short crossover stories with our characters.

I'm all in for fanfiction, and I'm currently reposting my old #SailorMoon & #Sliders fanfic on AO3.

I grant I'm fortunate to have avoided any bad experiences.

There was that time during the 1970s on a family trip to Minnesota when my dad, born and raised in Chicago and absolutely no stranger to White Castle when he was a kid there, introduced my brothers and me to the phenomenon. Some years later, I was at a White Castle in the Minneapolis area, I think it was, and just had to add to the mug collection.
