New Pillars of Creation Photos

This is a new composite photo of the Eagle Nebula in the constellation Serpens. See the rest of the amazing and gorgeous photos (and a video showing how this composite was derived from several space telescopes), visit the Photo Blog on MSNBC.com

How can we not write science fiction when there's stuff like this out there in the big black?

FAQ

Can anyone join SFR Brigade?

Anyone who writes, publishes, reads or is involved with Science Fiction Romance in literature is welcome to join. The site can only accomodate up to 100 authors, so it would be counter-productive to open it to a wider membership (such as those who are primarily interested in SF/R movies or television instead of literature) due to these limitations. (Which is not to say we don't banter about film culture SF/R on a regular basis, which will soon be evident.)

If this is SFR Brigade, why is the address http://www.sfrcontests.blogspot.com?

This is actually the second incarnation of the SFR Brigade. The original (which still owns the site name) was a private site where a few SFR writers privately discussed the subgenre and plotted to take over the universe. From zero hour, the plan was to expand the SFR Brigade to other writers, but when the time came, it seemed the best way to accomplish that was to construct a brand new site instead of trying to rebuild and clean out the cobwebs of the rusty one. And here we are, all bright and shiny. Hello!

What's the point of SFR Brigade?

*Yoda laugh* Epic plans, we have. Yes. Very epic. Patience, Padawan, and our plans will be revealed. First you must seek out our Welcome Message on the planet Degobah so you may begin your training.

What can SFR Brigade do for me?

Ask not what SFR Brigade can do for you... :) I think Five Reasons Why You Should Join will address that nicely.

OK, I think I've been drafted. Where do I report?

Send an email to mailto:sfrpreview@gmail.com and include your name/pen name and your web site or blog address to link to your name. You'll soon get an invitation to join the site and be added to the Brigade Members roster. If you don't get a reply within 48 hours, please contact us again. We've had a few emails kidnapped and spirited away by evil Reavers, and we'll need to form an emergency task force to rescue them back from the crazed space cannibals.

We were wondering how members felt about forming a Triberr tribe? (See accompanying post for discussion.)
