Meeting: Sunday 31st January.

Hello, one and all. As Scourge so wonderfully said, I (Holden Caulfield) will be helping to update and maintain the blog. Unlike him, I love to procastinate and avoid my college work.

Right, so 31st January is our next meeting, and as usual we will be meeting at Starbucks on New Oxford Street at 3.00pm. We seem to have claimed to spot behind the stairs in the name of the Neo-Writers, so for anyone who hasn't previously attended a meeting but wants to pop along, that's where you should be looking. We're an obvious bunch, don't be afraid to come over and ask if we are, in fact, the London fanfiction writers/Neo-writers.

Point A is Tottenham Court Road Station and B is where we'll all be.
The Central line and Northern line stop at Tottenham Court Road station if you're jumping on the tube. There are also numerous buses that pass through Tottenham Court Road or stop on New Oxford Street. Check the TFL site for the excellent journey planner, details of planned engineering works and other London transport queries.

See you there, boys and girls.

Holden Caulfield.

Important business!

OK people. A few peices of information for you to know about, that you MUST take note of.

The first is that, as you may have noticed, the web address for the blog has changed from fanfiction-central to neowriterslondon.blogspot.com. This is to keep it looking smart and cool and awesome and stuff. Make sure you change any links you may have leading to this blog to match what you see in the address bar. PROTIP: Alt+D, Ctrl+C and it's copied to your clipboard. Fast, eh?

The second peice of information is that HoldenCaulfield is now an updater on the blog, allowing me to focus on my college work, as well as organising the upcoming Expo Awesome properly. Say hello, people, and don't bite.

Much Love, SOTG.

FIELD TRIP Sunday 10th January

HEY EVERYONE!

We're doing something a bit different this week. We're going to meet at Starbucks on New Oxford Street at 3pm and have a coffee or five, before we all head over to Forbidden Planet on Shaftesbury Avenue. Don't worry if you don't know where Forbidden Planet is - we're all headed there together.

After the Planet, we'll be heading to the Trocadero in Leicester Square, which for those who don't know, if pretty much the arcade heaven of London. No high street can live up to this! Be sure to visit TokyoToys if you like Manga as well. I know the guy that owns it. (",)

Afterwards. we're going to a Pizza Hut for a meal. As you may have noticed, this means that you'll need money to enjoy the day.

Forbidden Planet, for those that don't know, is a cult store that caters for Doctor Who to Stargate, Marvel Comics to Manga. They sell merchandise and back-issues, and the store is loved by all who know it.

To find Starbucks, look here.

And if you turn up late, you can find Forbidden Planet here...

Well, I look forward to seeing you all on Sunday. We'll be upstairs in Starbucks, so look for the group talking about all sorts of things rather loudly....

Sunday 3rd January

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the year 2010.

Our next meeting is sooner than normal to allow for people's educations to not interfere with the meets.

We're meeting in Starbucks on New Oxford Street at 3:00 PM, upstairs. Anyone who was there on Wednesday, let's try and get the same seats we did, and if possible, some better ones. Some of us had to sit on wooden chairs the whole time, and I'll tell you, my buttocks hurt! (^^,)

A map is below.

The map shows where we're meeting - Go towards the little man! The marker shows where the nearest tube station is, and what lines run there. The red line is Central, and the black line is the Northern. For help getting to Tottenham Ct. Road, head to the Transport For London website and use the Travel Planner.

I look forward to seeing everyone there!

Wednesday 30th December

Hey everyone! My apologies for this blog being so late to respond, and this meeting technically being rather short notice, but we are CHANGING LOCATION!

View Larger Map

This is a picture of out new meeting point. Use the map underneath to work out how to get there. It's not that far from out old meeting point of Charlotte Street's Caffé Nero, so don't worry that much.

At 2:00 PM we will be meeting upstairs. However, please bear in mind that Starbucks is a very busy place, so we may have to relocate back to Caffé Nero. Those hat have been there know where it is, but I know that there's a chance new people will be arriving. That's why in the events that we have to move, I'll be there to catch you and tell you where to go. I'll be headed to Caffé Nero at 3PM, so if you arrive late and nobody is there, head to Charlotte Street.

Now, this brings up the matter of recognising. I can't speak for anyone else, but I'll be wearing a stripey jumper reading a manga. I'm tall with curly hair and wear glasses. Look for the awesome guy. (kekeke)

Now hat I've gotten off my arse and posted this, I can relax. =] I'll see everyone tomorrow!!

Sunday 20th December Meetup!

Yes, we're having another meet on Sunday. This may be a little short notice, but I HAVE been asking for people to suggest a new meeting place. It's a shame that nobody could help.

If ANYONE knows ANYWHERE we can meet, please do get in contact so I can scout the place out and see if it'll work.

But, nevertheless, we're getting close to Sunday, so I'm announcing that the next meet will be:

TIME
SUNDAY 20TH DECEMBER
2:00 PM

PLACE
CAFFÉ NERO
THE CORNER OF PERCY STREET AND CHARLOTTE STREET
LONDON
(Near Goodge Street Station)

I hope everyone from last time can make it, as I know some of you live quite far away. But this may be the last time we can meet here, as out group is getting rather large now. Any other meeting places are welcomed with hugs and cookies. No, really. I'll buy a pack of Maryland Cookies for anyone who gives me a good location. Wow, talk about bribes...

Well, I'll see you people on Sunday!

Another great meet

Another succesful meeting between us fanficcers, and we're starting to develop in-jokes now. So far, we have Sirius-ly black paint, the Hogwarts house of Oxfam and, bizarrely, fetishes. If you have a secret like that, you'd better be careful of what you say!

However, it's time. It's time to say that ANOTHER meeting is on Sunday the 20th of December!

The location, however, is not set. Due to our crowds tending to be quite loud and at time raucious, I'm concerned that Caffé Nero's staff may get unhappy soon.

If anyone, and I mean ANYONE, knows another larger location, leave me a comment and/or send me an email (scourgeofthegalaxy@gmail.com) with the address and if possible, a map.

If anyone can, please help. If we can't find a location, it'll be announced closer to the time that Caffé Nero is our destination again.

I hope you all have a good week and I'll let everyone know soon our new location. Or old, depending on the circumstances.

Much Love, SOTG.
