Hey gang,
There is a lot of stuff going on here at the SFSNNJ, and I wanted to drop a line and get some opinions. We have been considering putting together a list of the 100 Essentials in a number of categories. Basically, these would be books, movies, comics, games, etc that are considered 'Must Know' items for true geek cred. Anyone who is interested in submitting to the lists, please feel free to post suggestions here or PM me. Lists that we are looking for entries are: Science Fiction (Books) Science Fiction (Movies) Fantasy (Books) Fantasy (Movies) Horror (Books) Horror (Movies) Comics (Books) Comics (Movies) Games
These will go into an 'All Time List', which will be voted on by the moderators of the various discussion groups, and write-ups for the entries will be written by... well, me. Once all this is done, the SFSNNJ will place the lists on the website with links to original sources, and I will begin shopping the book around (proceeds to go to the SFSNNJ).
