The installment plan enables members to spread the cost of joining over a series of regular payments and has proved highly successful with nearly 200 plans taken up so far. To enable this extension, installment plans taken out from 1 March 2005 to 30 April 2005 will operate on the basis of monthly installments, with all payments to be collected by credit card. All plans will operate on the basis of three installments: - A supporting membership, due at the time the plan is set up. - Two equal payments for conversion to full attending membership, collected one month and two months after the plan is set up respectively. The total amount payable under the plan reflects the current adult attending membership rate, which stands at £110, $195 or 165 EUR. Potential members will be able to register for the new monthly installment plan after 1 March 2005 using the Interaction website at http://www.interaction.worldcon.org.uk/joining.htm.

_Cloud Atlas_ bokbokmötesbok
by Tommy Persson 16 Feb '05

16 Feb '05

På förra bokmötet bestämde vi att _Cloud Atlas_ av David Mitchell får bli en bokbokmötesbok. Den verkar nu finnas att köpa i pocket. Den är nominerad för Clarke-priset och den var nominerad för Booker-priset men vann inte. Jag föreslår att folk som är intresserad kan skaffa boken så bestämmer vi i början av mars något datum. Det är inget fel att bestämma fler böcker om några bra förslag utkristalliserar sig... Den mesta informationen om bokbokmöten skickas till lsff-book. Fick du två ex av detta brev så är du med på denna lista. Fick du bara ett ex och vill vara med på listan så säg till mig. /Tommy

Glädjande nyheter
by Mats Hultquist 16 Feb '05

16 Feb '05

UPN and Paramount Network Television have jointly announced that this will be the final season of Star Trek: Enterprise on UPN. [Production will continue until the end of this season, which will finish shooting in March.] The series finale will air on Friday, May 13, 2005. "Star Trek has been an important part of UPN's history, and Enterprise has carried on the tradition of its predecessors with great distinction," said Dawn Ostroff, President, Entertainment, UPN. "We'd like to thank Rick Berman, Brannon Braga and an incredibly talented cast for creating an engaging, new dimension to the Star Trek universe on UPN, and we look forward to working with them, and our partners at Paramount Network Television, on a send-off that salutes its contributions to The Network and satisfies its loyal viewers." David Stapf, President of Paramount Network Television, said, "The creators, stars and crew of Star Trek: Enterprise ambitiously and proudly upheld the fine traditions of the Star Trek franchise. We are grateful for their contributions to the legacy of Trek and commend them on completing nearly 100 exciting, dramatic and visually stunning episodes. All of us at Paramount warmly bid goodbye to Enterprise, and we all look forward to a new chapter of this enduring franchise in the future." A prequel to the original "Star Trek" series, STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE premiered on UPN on Sept. 26, 2001, and aired for its first three seasons on Wednesdays (8:00-9:00PM, ET/PT). On Oct. 8, 2004, STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE moved into its current time on Fridays (8:00-9:00PM, ET/PT). Through its four-year run, STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE produced a total of 98 episodes and earned four Emmy Awards.

Programmet på Interaction
by Britt-Louise Viklund 15 Feb '05

15 Feb '05

Förra helgen var jag och Carolina på Construction 4 i Glasgow - en så kallad staff weekend inför Interaction där bla programmet diskuterades och planerades. Flera ansvariga pratade med oss om att de gärna ville ha med fler europeer i programmet. Det här är ju faktiskt den första världskongressen i Europa på tio år och då kan det vara kul med mer än de vanlig amerikanerna (och en del britter) i programmet. Det finns en blankett att fylla i så att ansvariga vet att man finns! Den hittar ni på www.interaction.worldcon.org.uk/progpart Tänk på att programmet under en världskongress har många programspår med olika inriktning, inte bara litteratur utan även science, comics, art, media etc mm osv. Nog har även många svenska fans ett jobb eller en hobby, en erfarenhet eller en kunskap som skulle passa in någonstans. Tänk också på att en kongress inte blir roligare än man gör den. B-L

SV: [LSFF] Glädjande nyheter
by Britt-Louise Viklund 15 Feb '05

15 Feb '05

Fast jag gillade faktiskt de delar av Enterprise som jag sett. Klart bästa trekserien - med brist på rara barn, holodeck, transportrar och nedtonad moralisk överlägsenhet. Senare säsonger (som jag inte sett) fick delvis utmärkt kritik i SFX dessutom (och där brukar kritiken vara nyanserad och rätt tillförlitlig enligt min erfarenhet).

Bokmöte torsdag 10/2
by Tommy Persson 08 Feb '05

08 Feb '05

10/2 Bokmöte på Blue Ribbon klockan 19.00. Adressen är ett kvarter från Gula Huset och 50 meter från posten... Telefon 070-3093757 till mig för den som behöver fråga om vägen eller annat. Något nytt självklart ställe har ej utkristalliserats efter att Albert's Hall har stängt. Blue Ribbon har vi ju varit på förr så vi kan ju starta där och de har Murphy's och Bodington som alternativt till sådant där standardöl.... De har erbjudande om mat plus öl/vin/läsk för 95 kronor för de som vill äta. Nackdelen med Blue Ribbon är att de från 22.00 på torsdagar har Club 33 för folk över 30 år (fast det kanske passar oss...) och det medför musik med dans i inre delen. Men då kan man ju gå vidare till Storan för lite Guiness eller prova några andra ställen. Någon som vet hur Plaza är? Skulle det fungera för kommande bokmöten? /Tommy
