I’ve added a few new categories for discussion that I think you might enjoy. Please go to the appropriate category to the right of the page!

Technical/Historical: In this category, I’d like to discuss the Technical and Historical aspects of the “Destroyermen” series. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions appropriate to this category that you’d like to discuss in an open forum, please post them there!

Character Discussion: The “Destroyermen” series has a somewhat eccentric collection of characters. Here’s a place you can talk about them behind their backs!

The Order of Darwinian Delight: Originally bestowed upon “Bad Dennis,” for a selfless act of conservation when he removed a particularly vile specimen of a certain species from the gene pool, I think the “award” might serve us well here. We’ll make it a quarterly contest, with the first “winner” to be announced on the October 2008 release date for Book #2 in the “Destroyermen” series: “Crusade.” What you need to do is go to the appropriate category and submit the most bizarre/strange/unusual beastie you can think of that might have evolved on this earth–sans the “extinction event”–over the last 65 million years.

***RULES***
1. The “winner” must provide a plausible, reasonable, background/biological history/description/ecological niche/etc.
2. If I have, coincidentally, already come up with a similar creature, and it is “in the can”–I.E., already gone to the publisher–I’ll drop the hint that something similar is “already in the can” and we’ll cease any discussion on that theoretical creature until the appropriate book comes out, then we can compare/contrast to our heart’s content.
3. I reserve the right to “glom on” to your idea. If you are proclaimed the “winner” of “The Order of Darwinian Delight,” you may see your beastie appear in the series. If that happens, I’ll mention you in the acknowledgements of the appropriate volume in which your creature makes its debut.
