SASS is now starting to open the doors, having recently done all the legal paperwork, and will have membership applications coming up soon (presumably the FB page will have updates!)...many semi-pros are already involved, with some full-time authors eyeing SASS for mentoring and networking. (Including known science fiction and fantasy authors.)
Art & Game design will be lagging behind slightly as SASS was originally conceived for authors*; as such, the board is made up of authors and the artists and the game designers have not joined as yet...but it is open to them! We'll structure those sections as more join.
*Originally SASF, and as such you'll occasionally see language in docs that says "fiction" instead of "storytelling."
Shecky:
... okay, I can't fight it any longer. What do you call the members? SASSies?

The designer of Mana Punk suggested we add "& Yoddeling" to the end.
I find it odd that when I post something like this, I always get the same about of views of the posts and few responses ;) It's like I have a stable of quiet readers.

I don’t mean to be rude but it looked like a straightforward announcement. Nowhere did I see a solicitation for thoughts, ideas or comments. So yes, I would expect a lot of views and people going “oh that’s nice” and then go about their business.
Where you looking for comments? Or just wanting someone to jump up and down and yell, “oh goody.”
And I really am not trying to be rude but it's almost 4am here and I guess I'm in a bit of a flippant mood.
Mickey Finn:
Note the smiley up there. ;) This was in reference to most posts I make, and I was being silly. There's a trend for 16-17 views, hence the "stable of readers" silly remark.
