Hi Joe,
Things look pretty good. One thing I notice is that there is only sporadic
reference to fantasy. A few places you mention SF&F, but elsewhere the site
only makes references to SF. For instance:

“Q: What kinds of creations are eligible for display at a SciBrick event?
A: SciBrick is specifically a science fiction LEGO¨ model oriented
organization. That includes spacecraft, aliens, mecha, Moonbase Modules, and
other creations that are recognizable as science fiction models. All scales
and styles are welcome, but other genres and non-LEGO¨ models are best suited
for other venues.”
Also your main sections on the front page are Space, Mecha, and Moonbase.
Where’s a poor Tolkien MOC’er to go to find the Fantasy section? Or is
“Fantasy” being defined in such a way as to exclude the more Sword and
Sorcery regions of Fantasy?

Are you implying that SciBrick is biased???
Well, you’re right, in a manner of speaking. While SciBrick was being formed,
there was a pretty spirited discussion about the inclusion of fantasy, with the
outcome being that fantasy would be something that SciBrick would eventually
‘get to.’
That’s a position that did not sit well with me, so I chose to open up the field
to fantasy immediately upon my appointment as Communications Officer. My view is
that SciBrick can only benefit from a diversity of genres (Although I’d rather
not have Frank Frazetta art done in LEGO:), so the more the merrier. Also, what
could be cooler than to have a LOTR display at a theater? My local club is
planning to do that, and I’d like other builders to have such an opportunity.
As for the categories on SciBrick, that page was set up based on the previous
‘non-fantasy’ platform. That’s something that I’ll have to revise, and I will do
that hopefully this weekend, assuming I have nothing surprising happen to me:)
Thanks for catching that. The FAQ will have to be looked at also to reflect the
change in emphasis.
So when do you want to join:)?
Joe
