What's that, you say? Brian's running a campaign to get elected as the first human test subject in an untried, highly dangerous, experimental human-to-taffy conversion? And you can help get him win?
Umm, no. But close!**

netmouse & I are running as candidates for this year's Trans-Atlantic Fan Fund, and you can help us win. If we win, you get to help send us to London for this year's EasterCon. Click on through, take a gander at the ballot, and (if you're a qualifying member of fandom... which covers about 70% of my friends' list) send in your vote and donation!
TAFF is a very friendly race, and our competition this year is the highly entertaining and multi-talentedfrankwu. How friendly a contest, do you ask? Well, Frank's been talking us up, we're talking him up, and Frank's contributing several illustrations to netmouse's inaugural issue of her new fanzine, Wellspring. Furthermore, Frank and I have discovered we have a mutual love of microbiology, and can both (shortly!) claim "Dr." as an actual title on our Mad Scientist Club membership cards!* (He earned his about a decade ago, mine's coming... real soon now.)
* Dr. Wu and Dr.-To-Be Gray have decided to run a secret third-party campaign for TAFF, on the classic Mad Science platform of "Vote for us, OR ELSE." This year's version of ELSE includes unleashing upon the world a succession of horrific microbiological plagues of unparalleled virulence and so squeam-inducing, that Dr. Frankerschnozzlin's Ebolaflu threat seems the stuff of a rank amateur. Which it is. If Dr. Wu and Dr.-To-Be Gray DO win, as a team, then we promise to confine our Delightfully Mad campaign to the proper confines of London and document the mayhem with Dr. Wu's tremendous artistic talent and Dr.-To-Be Gray's refined turn of scientific phrase.*** Our joint platform is so secret, that even the organizers of TAFF are unaware of its existence! Spiffy!
** While I don't relish the prospect of myself being turned into a walking, giant pull-taffy, I can see about whipping up a batch of Gray's Patented Post-Pathogenic Deliquescing Skin Treatment and sending free samples to prominent media personalities of your choice. You have only to vote for me!
*** Hello to my new acquaintances from the London area! We don't really mean it, you understand, but if you don't sound like you mean business with the public masses, then how will they ever know that you're a dedicated and serious Mad Scientist?
Umm, no. But close!**
