Straczynski's done a lot of comic work (including a stint on the main spiderman title)- not all of it good though.

I woudn't saw that Rising Stars is without flaws, but it does have a certain appeal

Yes, me too. It can act as another discussion forum, it's having diiferent viewpoints/insights that makes it particularly cool.

This probably sounds moronic (I am a bit tired, but have never scoffed at playing the fool before :D), but when it says, "Do not vote for your own item", does it mean an item that you have a vested commercial interest in (the "competitor's" bit lends credence to that), or one that you simply submitted and have no interest in other than you're a fan and want to share it with others? Don't think I have any competitors at sadgeezer.com. :P At least I hope not. :? :lol: ;)

In the previous Sci Fi Choice thread that's what I was trrying to get at, but lost my response and was very unclear when I hastily rewrote it. I figured how it could be submitted, but I had hoped there might a way to do it without rating it, and since it was an item I originally added I wasn't sure if I was allowed to rate it (but really wanted to add a comment).

Erm.... Yes that comment does sound a bit silly doesn't it!?

I'll take it out (it confuses me so I guess it'll do the same for others. :)
