* An ansible is a device capable of instantaneous communications across interstellar distances. The word was originally coined by Ursula K. Le Guin in her novel, Rocannon's World, published in 1966. Other authors have since borrowed the term, or the concept, making it a common device in many stories.
How!
Web Site Issues
Oopsie. Found a problem on this site? Is it a factual error, a misplaced graphic, or heaven forbid, a broken link? Please, let us know; you will have our eternal gratitude and that of the many fans whom rely on this site for their own personal enjoyment.
Email us at: webmaster@larrysscifi.com
Article Submissions
Would you like to write an article or a review for us? We gladly welcome guest contributors of original material. Please have a clean writing style and know the difference between a preterite tense and a tense Praetorian. We do not claim ownership rights to anything you submit, so if you think you've written the next Epic of Gilgamesh, feel free to continue to shop it around.
We do, ask however, that you first contact us to let us know you're interested in writing something. That way we can avoid conflicts on reviews or profiles. For example, it'd be a shame to spend hours writing a great review of Avatar only to find out that after the googolplexeth treatise on blue people we stopped accepting submissions.
Email us at: submissions@larrysscifi.com
Event Notifications
Know of an upcoming event that would be interesting to the Science Fiction community? Let us know and if we deem it worthy of posting, the information will be up there quicker than you can say "Two to beam up!" A word of caution however: Even if they're selling vintage Romulan figurines, we're not really that interested in your neighbor's yard sale. Unless your neighbor happens to be Joss Whedon, that is.
Make sure to include the basics about the event: The name of the event, the coordinates in 4D space (location and date), and the event's website. Details about how you scored with a Cylon chick or with a handsome devil of a Browncoat at last year's event probably isn't necessary, though. If, on the other tentacle, you just wanted to brag, go ahead; but include pics!

Business Development
If you're a Ferengi looking to barter gold-pressed latinum, there's probably nothing of value here we could offer you. However, if you call Earth your home planet and wish to discuss a lucrative business venture with us, we're listening. But, you're supplying the Romulan Ale!
A cautionary tale: We'll probably ignore your email if you're trying to get us involved with a pyramid scheme, trying to sell us medicinal supplements, or informing us about terminated relatives that left a wad of cash in a Nigerian bank somewhere. Also, don't even bother to ask us to do a link exchange. Puhleeze!

Career Opportunities
Sorry, currently there are no positions available. So, short of paying us for the opportunity to work here, please conserve bits and don't transport your resumé or curriculum vitae (CV) here. Unless, of course, you really would pay us to work here.

Legal
We deny everything. How were we to know that the cute alien girl we met last week has a homeworld which rotates around her star faster than our Earth goes around old Sol and that 18 orbital cycles for her is a lot less than for us Terrans?
What's that? You say someone accidentally posted some copyrighted material onto this site and you want us to remove the infringing material? Phew... Why didn't you just say so? We can do that.
Please let us know what it is, where on the site it is (a link is helpful), and who has ownership rights to it. Also, please accept our humble apology for not catching it sooner.
And it's probably best if you just forgot we mentioned anything about any underaged alien girls.
