Female SciFi Fans Unite! And Stop Bullying!

Female science fiction fans, please follow this link to read a story at Chicago Now.
Young Katie, like so many of us, loves Star Wars and cherishes her Star Wars water bottle and backpack. But she’s getting teased from the first grade boys that Star Wars is only for boys. Please show her your support by visiting the article and leaving a comment that she’s not the only Star Wars (or scifi) fan who happens to be a girl.
A friend from Downtown Comics let me know about this story – and that Dark Horse heard about Katie and is sending her a box of Star Wars comics!

Hi there!..I’m Jan and also a big SciFi fan. I think it’s great to see an interest from women in the genre. I also wanted to let you know about a Yahoo group I’m in called, “The Science Fiction Group”: http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/sciencefictiongroup/
I know we love to have someone of your caliber in it. Were pretty active and have a lot of fun. I also submit a weekly SciFi news feed to the group and have a blog, though it’s not very fancy!: http://jan-scifinews.blogspot.com/
Anyway I just wanted to say that you have a very nice site and I have subscribed to your RSS feed. See ya out there somewhere!
