The last time we played this game, I was left out until the 20th . Thank you @DR.X!

Any Fiction House?

Sometimes you can use language to send more than one message. "Subtext"

Feel into your lap? Care to elaborate. I have a lap that could use one of those.

PM sent - I'm sure there's a nice little line already.

"...adds to no buy/no sell list"

For obvious reasons, I'd personally prefer Silver Age stories and characters in the FF movies. There are plenty of good stories during the first 100 issues of FF. Nevertheless, I'll continue to hope this will be good and Ms Garner will bring the kind of gravitas to the Silver Surfer he had in the comics.

And, ultimately, What?

I'll take this one

This kind of thing is already happening, so this has the hallmark of a good April Fools prank - it could be true.

Outrageous, indeed, but the wrong spot for this thread.

So...when's the Show?

It's a bit of a stretch in my mind to give an Editor credit as a creator of a character, unless he/she was actually involved in the creative effort as opposed to just editing the final product. No one believes the editor of Arthur Conan Doyle's novels is a "co-creator" of Sherlock Holmes, even if he or she suggested a Deer Stalker.

Honestly, some of this just looks like footage from previous Mad Max movies they're reusing. Will there be anything unique about this script?

There's a decent argument to be made that things would be much better.

I wonder if we shouldn't stop using the term "Fair Market Value." If that's what prices listed here and there are supposed to represent, an offer of less would have to be "unfair." It's too bad that all those lower-priced sales aren't necessarily reflected in published pricing. OTOH, I'm a "market" guy and people should charge what the market will bear. If you're running a business, you have different metrics than a collector does. The idea of a market is to recognize those different motivators and hope that the two can meet somewhere both are satisfied if not pleased. I agree that if you accept a price for one of your books that's unsatisfying, that's on you.

And God help BC if that cat comes back anything but 10.0.

Someday, I'd like to read this story

People will come at these questions from different perspectives, but there's no reason not to be covered. Remember, the life or disability insurance is not for you, it's to replace the income your family will lose should something happen to you. In this day and age, both spouses should have insurance if they both earn an income and you should be "overinsured" if you have kids who may yet need higher education. The premiums are a pittance compared to what they replace if you die. A guy I went to college with died in a small plane crash at about 30 - he left a wife and 3 small children and had NO life insurance. Trust me, that was a topic of conversation amongst our college crowd after the memorial service. He was on partner track at a large law firm here, and I can tell you his family didn't end up with the life they thought they were going to have.

I agree with KJ about the $15 shipping on a $9 book. However, I can also say I won't normally buy lots UNLESS I actually want/need all the books in the lot. I do understand that listing 150 books separately in 2 different threads is several tons of work.
