I'm glad that so many people are interested in keeping this
discussion public. I don't feel like I'm alone in my interests.
Thanks!!

Yes, right now I'm finishing a story in which a they are using
Ironhorse from War of the Worlds (tv show) and Sam to get Al from
Vietnam (in one QL episode it turns out AL gave up repatriation, so
Sam could save his brother, Tom). I haven't finished the story yet.
But I find it interesting that they are using QL and other Vietnam
associated characters to reward Al for his sacrifice.

When I went to Consol-ing Passions ealier this month. There was a
whole panel on fandom. Cinda Gillilan from U of Ariz. and Henry
Jenkins presented work. Some people from Northwestern were suppose
to present but got held up. Constance Penley attended. And given the
comments and questions, most everyone who attended the panel seemed
to be up on the material and concepts. It was quite exciting!!
 
Cheers:
