Group name

Any ideas?

The only thing I've thought of so far is 'Parallel Universes and Alternate Worlds', but I'm really not sure about it =/

[Ferry Wever]

I can live with it, it covers the bases.
And I can't think of anything better at the moment.

Swords and Lasers
About Things Far, Far Away


Just a few ideas, I'll see if Icome up with anything else.

[Freya, Dragon Rider]

I got as far as thinking last night 'From Wizards to Warpspeed: A Sci-fi and Fantasy Book Group', but on reflection this morning it sounds more like a cheesy essay title!

[Rinn, (Retired mod) Captain of the SSV Normandy]

Haha, that sounds great though! Even more so without the bit on the end. I like all the suggestions so far - maybe we should have a poll in a few days?

[Freya, Dragon Rider]

Sounds like a plan :) Perhaps if we get a couple more ideas, and then we'll have a good selection to choose from.

[Wayland, Ernest Scribbler]

From Alice to Zeta Beams
Horses to Hyperspace

[Nic, Wormhole Technician]

I'm already in a group called 'The Sword and Laser', quite a big group with 17000 members. Not sure we could use that one!

[Rinn, (Retired mod) Captain of the SSV Normandy]

Good to know it's already in use - thanks =)

[Anya]

I love the ideas that incorporate both a sci-fi and fantasy theme :D A poll seems the best way to pick something everyone likes :)

[Stephan]

How about "Personal Jetpack"?

[Stephan]

Or "Dragons and Jetpacks", or "Areocar Auto Show"

[Freya, Dragon Rider]

I like Dragons and Jetpacks :)

[John]

What about Dragons WITH Jetpacks?

[John]

or...hmm...

the Cyborg Castle?...Space Wizards...?

[Rinn, (Retired mod) Captain of the SSV Normandy]

I'm going to make a poll with all of these, now we have lots of ideas =)

[Nic, Wormhole Technician]

How about "realms & dimensions" or "fictional realities"

[Rinn, (Retired mod) Captain of the SSV Normandy]

Okay, Dragons and Jetpacks is quite comfortably in the lead and I'd quite like to change the name sooner rather than later - mostly because I think the current one encourages people who may not actually partake in discussion to join. Whereas with a proper name they might need to take the time to look at what the group actually is.
Anyone have any issue with the name change now, or do you want to wait til the poll ends in 2 days?

[Lucy]

I really like Dragons and Jetpacks, it's simple, appealing and covers both sci-fi and fantasy really well. It's obvious what the group's about and it's still broad :)

[Freya, Dragon Rider]

I don't have any issues, but I think we should wait the time out as that is how long we said the poll would be up for and it gives the ones who haven't voted a chance to do so if they wanted. I do agree that it would be good to have a proper name though :)

[Rinn, (Retired mod) Captain of the SSV Normandy]

I shall wait then! =)

[Rinn, (Retired mod) Captain of the SSV Normandy]

Okay, the poll has decided! The group name is officially Dragons and Jetpacks, and now we have a hastily thrown together logo to go with it =)

[Nick]

The logo looks amazing!!!

[Rinn, (Retired mod) Captain of the SSV Normandy]

Haha, thanks Nick - I found some fun, relevant fonts from dafont =D

[Freya, Dragon Rider]

I agree, I like the hasty logo :D
