Ways For Sci-Fi Fans To Make Money In A Tough Economy
by June K. Williams

Science Fiction Merchandis

1. Be Creative.
Places like Etsy, Foodzie and DeviantArt are filled with creative fans who are selling things like vintage pieces of Bajoran jewelry or hand stitched Doctor Who onsies, Star Trek Spock Bottle cap Necklaces, vinyl Star Wars albums, all sorts of Steam Punk accessories, anime portraits and even yummy treats that were served up at Hogwarts School of Witcraft and Wizardry. This serves to not only make you money while celebrating your corner of fandom, but also helps out those of your fellow fans who may not have as much time or talent as they have cash.

Dog People vs. Cat People

Dog People vs. Cat People

No Contest, the Pets Win.

dog people, cat people

There are cat people and there are dog people and seldom do the two mix. True, there are those families who have both and everything is hunky-dory, but for the most part, canines and felines do not find themselves living with the same owner. I suspect it has more to do with the personalities of the humans than the animals.

I am a dog person, no doubt about it. When I had dogs, I loved that they loved me and were unabashed in showing affection. I loved the constant positive reinforcement they showed me every time I entered the room. Dogs have all these wonderful facial expressions they use with reckless abandon to further convey their emotional state: be it happy, sad, confused, or a little p’ed off. I love how a dog will make a slap fool of itself when having a good time, is empathetic enough to come and put its head on my lap when I am sad, and snuggle up next to me in bed at night so I can feel safe and secure. And by “snuggle” I mean hog the entirety of the bed so that I am capriciously balanced on the very edge of the mattress with a mere four threads of bed sheet to cover my body.

Buzzy Life Survival Guide
Lesson 2: Lightening The Load
How To Deal With The Hoarder In All Of Us.
by June K. Williams

hoarders buried alive

Who among us has not glimpsed an episode of Clean House, Hoarders, Hoarders Buried Alive or any of their clones? We have looked on in horror and congratulated ourselves that our lives are not anywhere near as congested. Sure we don’t have to walk sideways through towering piles of god-knows-what or climb over mounds of stuff just to get to the bathroom but are we even close to being free of life sucking clutter? For 90 percent of us the honest answer should be no, we are far from unencumbered.

Lesson 1: Timeless tips on Moochers
© June K. Williams

Moochers, spongers, parasites. They come in many forms and have varying degrees of skill but what they have in common is the ability if not stopped to leech your life away. horror t shirts, funny horror t shirts, fright rags If you are fortunate you either came to this conclusion all on your own at a young age or at the prompting of those older and wiser than you who had your best interest at heart. If you were less fortunate, then decades of being used and abused may have turned you into a professional victim. The good news is that no matter how old you are or how long you have allowed this to go on in your life there is a way out. There is a way to clear cut space around your person bringing light and air into your life so that you can breath and grow. The first step is to recognize the adversary in order to begin your liberation. Below you will find some examples. They are by no means all of the varieties that appear in the wild, but you should be able to gather enough from each to work out which people around you need to be managed and in some cases removed entirely.

Schnorer: (shnor’er : beggar; sponger, moocher, parasite)

The garden variety schnorer will generally begin by asking for something so small that only Ebenezer Scrooge would refuse. Read More→

Social Etiquette for the Gamer
©Buzzy Multimedia

I don’t know about you but I love, love, love going to conventions! For years now I have been on the circuit, always as a guest or as an author who has a table in a hallway or in the dealer’s room. gamer t-shirt, geek t-shirts, nerd clothing Either way, I was able to meet fans and other likeminded folks who just by their presence at the con meant we already had lots in common. But it was not until recently that I was able to attend a con as just an attendee.

Ten Things you Need to Know about DragonCon
But Don’t Know to Ask


From all over the world fans come, pooling together like massive armies combining their strength and acting as one to invade the city of Atlanta and partake in not a common three day convention but rather a wondrous four day extravaganza known far and wide as the all mighty DragonCon! Dragon Con, dragoncon, dragoncon.org, sci-fi convention If you have never been to DragonCon you must go, now, this very year. Beg or borrow the necessary funds but please find yourself there Labor Day weekend for never before has such a celebrity line up been gathered together. This is the con where between 30 and 50 THOUSAND people will attend, it will have hundreds of guests, a dealer’s room the size of a regulation Little League base ball field, another hall dedicated to nothing but celebrities ready to sign autographs for their adoring fans and yet a third hall filled with row after row of art work hung upon walls arranged in a maze like pattern to ensure that you see every selection at least once. Short of your own personal demise there is no reason you should not go to the con this year.

A Fan’s Guide to Convention Costuming
Preparing a look for your next Sci-Fi, Anime, Furry or Horror Convention.
by June Williams

If you are thinking of taking the plunge and showing up at your next Anime, Horror or Sci-Fi convention in costume but are not sure where to begin then I may be able to help you. dragoncon, wolverine, costume, sci-fi convention I’ve been on the convention circuit with Buzzy Multimedia for over a decade and have spent a great deal of time contemplating the glories and the disasters of costuming. From conventions like Shore Leave, FarPoint, I-Con, MegaCon, Chiller Con, StellarCon, Animazement and the very big ones like DragonCon and ComicCon, costuming presents an opportunity to let ones imagination run wild in a physical sense. The lure is almost overwhelming yet many of us resist because of fear of not being able to pull it off in such a public arena.
