David Hewlett blog update


When I grow up I want to be...dGeek!

This isn’t really a blog posting so don’t get too excited...it’s more of a stream of conscious thing (my excuse for not reading it over for grammar, punctuation, spelling or self indulgence)...Kerouac would have used toilet paper...I’m going with bits.

I’ve had such an incredible response to my dGeek moderator/administrator plea (and for that I owe you all a big, wet, sloppy kiss...yes, even you!) that I started thinking...I know, be afraid!

Firstly, I should confess that I had NO idea that moderators were such an issue for people. Some people want moderators who use the forum on a regular basis - others think that a non-forum user would have a better perspective. The most disturbing trend that I’ve seen came from a suprising number of people who once loved the dGeek forums but have left because of the way they have evolved thanks to my moderator free approach. I really don’t like the idea of telling people what they can or can’t talk about on a forum that I’ve established, but with spam being such an issue I’ve now had to rethink that. Anyway, a suprising number of people felt that the dGeek forums changed and lost their way. They have left them, hoping to return. They feel that my cries for moderating help may be just what they’ve been waiting for. I hope that they are correct!

Stargate de-Breifings

Getting a lot of questions about Atlantis and my involvement in a possible movie and the new show, and that sort of thing, so here's the latest...

No plans for a return to Stargate I'm sad to say.

I caused a bit of a fuss, with a twitter I sent out the other day about the subject, and thought I had better clarify.... I haven’t heard anything from anyone about an Atlantis film. I mean, I hear/read what you do (what, I can't be a nerd too!?) but nobody has approached me or talked specifics, either confirming or denying the possibility of a movie. When Atlantis was first canceled, an SGA movie was talked about like it was a sure thing. That in not the case now. Knowing that, I’ve got to think that it’s not going to happen. Hopefully I will be proven wrong!

I'm a blogging machine! /

Look at that. I'm back already.

At this rate, you'll be so sick of me by next Sunday, you'll be begging for the recent days of loft-in-translationlessness, when procrastination and facebook dominated my days, and pilsner and 30 Rock dominated my nights. No more! (But mostly because my video store doesn't have Season 3 of 30 Rock yet...)

A big bust /

No, no, not like that. I didn't have breast augmentation surgery, or buy a new push-up bra, or meet Pamela Anderson at a Science Fiction convention.


Hey...wait...I got your attention though, didn't I? If my male readership increases by 76% this week (as I suspect it might), I'm going to start every post from hereon in with a completely inappropriate, breast-related title: "Twin Peaks" (about a ski trip I've taken), "The Bluetit" (which would obviously be an exploration in British ornithology), "Staying Abreast" (of all kinds of issues -- it's important). The possibilities are endless.

Kate's new site and new play presentation

Kate tweeted on June 15, 2010:

Katekit.com is up and running! Thanks, Lee!

David then tweeted (and included the link):

More @katehewlett than the world is ready for! http://katekit.com/

At the new site, Kate is asking for donations (or just to spread the word) to help her with her play, "The Swearing Jar," at the New York Fringe Festival.

Donations

My talented friend Christopher Stanton and I are very excited to tell you that we are going to be performing my newest play, The Swearing Jar at the New York Fringe Festival this coming August. The only problem is: we live in Toronto and the Fringe is not a money-making venture. If you’d like to donate as little as $5.00 (or as much as fourteen million dollars…aw, heck, it was worth a shot…) it would mean a lot to us. Every little bit counts toward air fare, accommodation and sustenance. If you’re as broke as we are, you can help by spreading the word instead. You can go here for details:

Here's a description of the play at the NY Fringe Festival site.

The Swearing Jar

The Bridge Theatre Company in Association with 6AM Tango Productions
Writer: Kate Hewlett; Music and lyrics by Kate Hewlett, arranged by Christopher Stanton
Director: Rosemary Andress
"You are the love of my life, you *******." When Carey performs at Simon's fortieth birthday celebration, she is forced to come to terms with the greatest lie her husband ever told. A comedy about marriage, music, migraines...and swearing.
