About RTSFS

RTSFS provides a discussion forum and social outlet in central North Carolina for like-minded Triangle-wide fans of speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, horror) in print, film and TV, as well as for related activities such as RPGs.

We're a group balanced between idealistic youngsters whose zest for life hasn't been squashed yet, and old pharts who'll beat you up with their canes. Some members are married, some are single; some have children, others have cats, dogs, cacti, or fish. Members come from all parts of the Triangle: Wake Forest, Pittsboro, Garner, Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Durham, Raleigh, Cary, Apex, etc.
