Breaking news! Proposition 8 California Gay Marriage ban ruled unconstitutional

I thought Shadows in Flight was great for what it set out to do, and definitely had the potential to shift out entire paradigm as to how we view the events of the rest of the story.

Here's Anne, dancing, and lip-synching to the Chorus. She turns 2 in two weeks. The day is just a series of dance parties for her.

I started two new columns that will help us find all the relevant information that would need to be consistent - one for Ender's 'Earth Age', and one for his 'Subjective Age'. When we know what these SHOULD be (in accordance with the NEW chronology), we can then find all the places where information...

Bob Orci posted over at the AICN talkbacks yesterday , in response to a characteristically blunt talkbacker asking about Gavin Hood's connection with Ender's Game: Gavin Hood wrote an amazing script by boborci And after 20 years 30 years of nobody being ableto get this movie made, we are finally mak...

To start off - everyone's getting a haircut to prepare!

Khylin just tweeted about having his hair chopped off... lools like were having a bunch of army cut Launchies/soldiers

So the question is, what would be the least amount of significant changes needed to line the SC dates up with the established SiF timeline?

Serious question for those who have been involved in these: If a video version of your interview was made with a photo/image to represent you, which would it be? I understand some may not want their picture up, but if not, what picture would want to be in your place? I'm doing some tests, doing some...

Agreed. Dangit.

ASSIGNMENT! I just discovered a significant contradiction that OSC would want to work into a revision. Speaker for the Dead notes that the destruction of the Formic World occurs 1180 years before the formation of Starways Congress/Code. However, during the events of Shadows in Flight (430 or so year...

By the way: I would focus your attention on finding the best dates and events documented and occuring for pre-Ender's Game, and post Shadows in Flight - the areas that could potentially be the most practically useful to OSC (writing the Formic Wars novels, as well as the Adventures of the Leguminote...

Great find, Cassandra! OSC changed Anderson into a woman over ten years ago in his early drafts of the screenplay. I think it's great. Doesn't change anything substantially about the character, and adds an additional spunky female presence to the mix. See this VERY OLD (1999) script excerpt from the...

I think 'at a glance' timelines are helpful for general orientation as to where one is in the overall flow of things. Certainly not replacements for a detailed to the year/month/day type timeline, just serving a different, but just as useful purpose.

If you're interested, the Authorized Ender Companion hardcover is at a bargain rate of $7.46 at amazon - that's cheaper than both the Kindle and Paperback edition currently. I'm picking it up a) because I don't have it, and it may be helpful to se what's already officially been done, and b) I'm kind...

While I'd be happy to customize and develop the Wordpress once it's installed, I'd feel more comfortable if the installation proper was handled by someone like Chris, etc. Once that's done, and there's a wordpress admin account established, I'd be happy to dive in.

Sh*t doctor Who Fans Say:

I know I've arrived, because I get 98% of this.

Just finished Ender in Exile and Investment Counselor. The two go together very nicely. (In fact, when the Capital of the Italian Sorreledolce was mentioned as DonnaBella, I wondered if it could be retrofitted as DoraBella, and have been a colony founded by Captain Quincy and his Fairy Wife ;) I enj...

They're both fake. See the originals below.

Aramis is bidding farewell to his friends on Facebook and Twitter as he heads off to New Orleans tomorrow to begin 5 months of work on EG. Good luck, Aramis!

Looks like it MAY be official: http://www.thewrap.com/movies/column-post/ben-kingsley-joins-enders-game-mazer-rackham-34945" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; They also note the Fly Molo casting... however, while they note that 'producers said on Tuesday', I'm not seeing any ot...

Heh. My bad.

At least the OSC bit is legit

Well, we plowed through Series Five. Really enjoyed it. While at first I questioned it, now I like that 11 has different theme music associated with him than 10. I loved 10's music, but I associate it so strongly with him. Plus, The End of Time also gave him such a wonderful musical send-off, it wou...

Cassandra over at EA posted an image of Kylin getting a 3D body scan for costume fitting and other purposes - I'd guess to create a digital body double for some aspects of Battle Room sequences. Pretty cool: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fNVAv027cuI/TyJSsJqr1FI/AAAAAAAAAmE/hKlP-pWus6U/s1600/Costume+Meas...

I just stumbled upon this video/extended DVD scene bridging the moments between the end of Eleventh Hour and The Beast Below, where Amy Pon questions the Doctor about everything, and has some choice words about his choice of a Bowtie. Fun!

If it's already been linked here, forgive me!

The Jeesh!

Merry Christmas!

Don't know if anyone noticed, but Aramis Knight (Bean) is using this as the background forhis Twitter account. Nice

Looks like the script is still being revised and worked on, even though filming starts very soon.

That also may account for this (?):

My hardcovers of Speaker, Xenocide, Children of the Mind, Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow Puppets, and Shadow of the Giant are all the same height. My other hardcovers (First Meetings: EnderCon version, First Meetings: Mass Market, A War of Gifts, Shadows in Flight) are all over the pl...
