Hello Kathy!
Thanks so much for writing! I'm CCing this message with your comments to the main folks who have been working diligently on the STARMAN fanfic online library.
I see that Vicki has already written to you and invited you to this year's convention in October. I know I'm looking forward to it!
To give you some background on my own involvement in Spotlight Starman, when STARMAN came on the air, I knew it was just too _good_ to stay on, and began taping after the first few episodes. I was disappointed when it was canceled, but I still remembered it for a long time. (I used to have video tape watching marathons, where I'd watch the episodes over a period of a couple of weeks or so. Just me and a dish of popcorn!) In October of 1988, I came across messages about STARMAN on a computer network, tho they were quite old at the time. Then, in the Spring of '89, I came across the March issue of STARLOG that carried an article on Spotlight Starman. I was ecstatic to find other people who loved the show as much as I did. "I thought I was the only one!" is a common phrase I used to say, and became aware that other people used to say the same thing. I've been actively involved in the group since '89.
Thanks for getting in touch, and welcome!
Until next time...Blue Lights!
Until next time... Blue Lights, Todd Andrews

Hello! As a longtime fan of Starman, I wanted to thank you for your wonderful website! In particular, I wanted to thank you for the recently updated Fan Fiction section. The stories are well-written, creative and clever. While its a shame that ABC cancelled this wonderful show (huge understatement, I know), Fan Fiction keeps the adventure alive. While I have visited and enjoyed your website regularly over the years, I'm thrilled to have access to the Starman Library. So, thanks again! All the best, Kathy Nikolaidis, formerly of Baltimore, currently in San Diego kathyn866@gmail.com mailto:kathyn866@gmail.com
