Hello. I’m the new mod of ScienceFiction. I just wanted to introduce myself as you’ll be seeing my name a lot more around here. I also wanted to get some community input on a couple things.

First, you’ll notice we have revamped the about/rules sidebar. Please familiarize yourself with the guidelines, it’s not much different, just trying to be more welcoming and informative as well as make sure we are having a safe, good experience for our members. I like to be transparent as well as get community input often because after all, this community is for you all.

Second, one of the things I came on for is to post weekly discussion threads to make sure conversations about ongoing shows/movies/books, etc are easy to find and take part in. So I wanted to see what all you would like to discuss. Obviously Foundaition is airing now, so I will be making sure we have a pinned discussion post about each week’s new episode. I also wanted to see what else you might want to talk about and what upcoming media you were looking forward to that you would like to have discussion threads for. Izzy has been making monthly “What are you watching/reading?” posts but we also want to have more specific weekly threads as well. So what are you looking forward to?

    Yes, please, let’s keep the focus on the science part of science fiction, or at least as a North Star. Otherwise we’ll start discussing Barbie or romcoms because after all they are fiction / fantasy.

    Let’s not make the same mistake bookstores make. They may have a reason to mix the genres because of lack of space, but we don’t have that excuse.
