Thursday Tag Party for Turkey Day!

I'm a little late this week, sorry to all you early risers. Got caught up in my own writing last night, but since I'm home today for the holiday (hooray!) I have time this morning. Lots of people stop for a moment today to think about what they're thankful for. Me, I'm thankful that I survived my misspent youth, that I have home and family, and that those predatory aliens haven't shown up to devour me yet.

I have a couple of requests this week - so please take a moment and help fellow members out with a few quick tags!

The quick manual if you're a new tagger cadet:

Go to the Amazon buy page (I've included the links below)

Scroll down to the Tags Customers Associate with this Product header

Look for these tags: SFR, Scifi Romance, SF Romance, Science Fiction Romance and Paranormal Romance - please feel free to add any extra tags you feel are appropriate to the work (i.e. Space Opera, Military SF, etc.)

Don't forget your SFR Brigade Tag!

If the tags are already there, just click on them to add your 'vote'

If not, type them into the 'your tags' box to add them (no need to save the page, just type and add)

For a list of past Tag Party books, come on over to the Book Launch and Tag Party Books page. Tagging is always welcome.

Our short, but lively, selection for this week:

Pauline Baird Jones - Tangled in Time

Nancy Brauer (with Vanessa Brooks) - Strange Little Band

Always on watch for YOUR SFR books - new or old releases on Amazon that we haven't featured yet. Though not today - today is all about family and food. If you any suggestions, requests, or demands, send me a message at ravenesperanza@yahoo.com and I'll add you to the schedule.

Pauline B Jones said...: thanks for the tagging listing. I went and tagged, too. Had to laugh at Strange Little Band's publisher. Clever!; November 25, 2010 at 6:56 AM
Laurie A. Green said...: Thanks for being "on the job" on a holiday, Sandra! And my Leaning Tower of TBR (digital version) continues to grow!

Happy Thanksgiving!; November 25, 2010 at 7:16 AM
Sandra Stixrude said...: Oh, nice! I didn't catch that, lol.

You're very welcome, Pauline - I finally read my first steampunk novel. Don't know what took me so darn long...; November 25, 2010 at 7:17 AM

Blogging Rules

The SFR Brigade "Golden Rules" for posting:

1. Please allow at least 3-4 hours since the last post to give everyone a little time at the top of the blog. (Time sensitive posts or information that must reach members immediately are the exception. Please use your discretion.)

2. No "hit-and-run" posts, please. Promotional posts by any member who is not otherwise active in the community will be deleted without notice. Repeats may result in loss of blog author privileges. The community blog is intended to share information between members and not to be used solely as a self-promotion bulletin board.

FAQ

Can anyone join SFR Brigade?

Anyone who writes, publishes, reads, is a fan of 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?

Since some of our requests to join the Brigade have been spirited away by evil Reavers (and we had to form an emergency task force to wrest them back from the crazed space cannibals) we've gone to an "automated" enlistment system.

Please go to the SFR Brigade Facebook Group Page and request to join. Then open the Files (link at the top of the FB page) and look for the doc that says "Add Me to the Brigade Roster."

There, you'll type in your name as you want it to appear and the web site or blog you'd like linked to your name. We'll add you asap.

That's it! You're in!

What's that? You don't have a Facebook account? Not to worry. Just leave a comment here with your name as you'd like it to appear and the web site/blog you'd like your name linked to and we'll beam you up next sweep.
