Know Wil Wheaton

Know Wil Wheaton

So, way back in 2003, I posted a blog on Loscon30 where I mentioned meeting Wil Wheaton on a panel.

We were talking about how to get published and when Armin Shimerman mentioned that Bill Fawcett was responsible, I broke in to add that Bill Fawcett had given me my start too. So Wil wrote on his notepad “Know Bill Fawcett.”

Almost eight years later, I finally got Bill Fawcett to introduce himself to Wil Wheaton. Wil was nonplussed at the meeting, having had no reminder of our long-ago panel.

However, on the way back home, Wil and I were on the same plane together on the way to Burbank.

Now, I know from my mother’s experiences, that fans can be very draining from time-to-time so I respect a “big name”‘s right to privacy. However, when another fan introduced himself, I felt emboldened, and reminded Wil of our panel together and explained that that was why he was introduced to Bill Fawcett.

So now the karmic circle is complete!

Pern Movie News

Pern Movie News

If you were at Dragon*con, you already know all this (and more). But for those who weren’t able to make it, we can share the following bit of cool news:

“David Hayter is taking a good long look at the first three books because, after all, we’re all hoping to see more than just *one* Pern movie. So rather than just diving in, he’s spending time getting acquainted with the larger story offered by the big three adult books (Dragonflight, Dragonquest, The White Dragon).”
