RENEE IN LONDON: SMALL TIDBIT OF NEWS!
Several fans have asked whether still photography will be allowed
during the weekend, and of course the answer is YES (including Renee
O'Connor's question and answer session). However, during Renee and
Tim's performance in the play we are going to request that no photography
be done since this is a theatrical performance. Hope that works
for everyone, and for those still not signed up to be with us in
London, below are the basics about the convention. Tickets are available

Boogeyman
News
- The following is from The
Dallas Voice Community Newspaper - July 2003
Xena battles The Boogeyman
Everyone’s favorite warrior princess may finally
be meeting a foe she can’t beat: the boogeyman himself. Xena’s Lucy
Lawless has signed on to co-star in The Boogeyman, a thriller currently
shooting in her home country of New Zealand. Along with Lawless, 7th
Heaven’s Barry Watson stars as a young man returning to his childhood
home to try to overcome traumatic, boogeyman-inspired events that took
place in his bedroom. Not to be confused with the schlocky ‘80s series
of Boogeyman movies, this fright-fest comes from Sam Raimi’s
(Spider-Man) new horror production company, Ghost House. Raimi used to
executive produce Xena, and he’s also got a horror-picture pedigree — he
was responsible for such scary movies as The Evil Dead and Darkman.

A message from Wordee:
I've had a lot of people write to me about recording some of the newer fanfic
and uber that's been written since my retirement from taping audio fanfic.
Therefore, for a limited time, I will again offer my
services to record any story you'd like to hear.
Here's the good news: I will be recording all the stories digitally. No more
tapes -- from now your masters will be on CDs!
Each master CD will cost $120. You can estimate what will fit on a CD by
checking the story document in your word processing program under 'word
count'. Look for 'characters without spaces'. Approx. 58,000 characters
without space fit on one CD (this is just a means to estimate. If your
project takes more or less CDs than estimated, final value will based on the
actual amount). All stories must have written permission from the author
before they can be recorded.
Master CD recordings can be ordered individually, or through consortiums. If
you'd like to know how to start a consortium, feel free to ask me. If you'd
like to know about existing consortiums, feel free to ask me that, too.
I will be offering this service for a limited time, so get your orders in
now! Just email me at jsandsmark@mac.com.

- Lucy will be appearing in a new movie that is currently
being filmed in New Zealand called "Boogeyman".
It's a supernatural horror film. Boogeyman is about A young man (Watson), emotionally traumatized by memories of terrible things he
experienced in his bedroom as a little boy, decides to return to the house he grew up in
after the tragic death of his father to try to face his fears of that bedroom; fears of a
mysterious being that could merely be a figment of his imagination that the experience
might help him work out. Unless, of course, the Boogeyman is real... It's been produced by Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert & Ghost House
Pictures.
