I hope you're including me in that, Jebus.

Wasn't OSC at the Ender convention held a while back, or was that just all fans?

Yes, he was there and we all got to meet him and chat and it was great!

Also, I fully realise that there are some SERIOUSLY oldbies around who still think I'm a newbie.

I am an odd newbie and I know it!

We're like a gang. A grammatical, academic gang.

Make that verb agree with its subject or I will pop a cap in your ass!

Oh my God, I think I love you a little bit.


As for the original question, a book signing is a good place to meet Scott. There's a list of appearances on Hatrack. And besides, he's a great speaker; you should listen to him talk if you get the chance. He doesn't do many (any?) conventions anymore, and I suspect there won't be another EnderCon any time soon. There's always bootcamp or the writer workshop, but that's really only worthwhile if you're an aspiring writer.

It would be wildly uncouth and disrespectful to just cold call him.

alright, I'll look for a book signing to try to talk to him at too. Wouldn't there be an endercon when the movie comes out possibly?

Since I just rejoined does that mean that I get to be an annoying newbie for another 1 or 2 years?

Yeah, definitely when the movie comes out. Feel free to try and hold your breath.

As for your newbie-ness.... sort of on the fence. Haven't quite hit the 2 yr markyet. Ask again in a few months.

By the two-year system, I'm definately not a newbie.
The Makeout Hobo is real, and does indeed travel around the country in his van and make out with ladies... If you meet him, it is customary to greet him with a shot of whiskey and a high five (if you are a dude) or passionate makeouts (if you are a lady).

I think that it has to do with time as a member and activity on the board and in the chats. Bit of both. But I think that 2 yrs is kind of the min req.

The two year is faulty, since I’m almost to the two year mark but I took one VERY long hiatus and the a just recent little one. Sooooo SYSTEM DEFAULT!!!

I am Nick, I was once on pweb because of Kevin (-Bean) and there was an awkward love triangle thing going on with another person that never should have been on pweb (since she has never read the books or heard of them) and I mostly lurk. Would you like to know anything else?

isn't nicholas a boy's name? I mostly ask since I'm a male nicholas and all the nicholases I've ever met have been male.

yes yes it is.
Until the day I was born, my mother thought I was a boy and the doctors agreed. i kind of surprised them and got to keep the name. (as a nick name at least) i like it though it fits me.

The chat is pretty much the only place I'm active at all. Does that mean I'm still a newbie even though I've been here for... *checks join date*... 4 years to the day!

Weird.
