Just had another #Usenet flashback ... anyone remember #alt.callahans ?
Social network as RPG meets fanfiction, based on the #Callahan'sSaloon stories by #SpiderRobinson ... stories based on empathy, twisting well-known #sciencefiction themes, #folkmusic, long form #puns, shaggy dog stories, toasts, a modest amount of drinking, and glasses smashed in the fireplace.
Alas, just as it was picking up steam I was trying to get my dissertation going, so I just enjoyed knowing it was there.
