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.

Upcoming RTSFS Events

Annual Picnic

Sunday, October 19

1 pm - 5 pm

Crabtree Park, White Oak shelter

1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, at Raleigh's Crabtree Park, White Oak shelter.
1400 Aviation Pkwy
Morrisville

Directions: From I-40, take the Aviation Parkway exit (#285) towards Morrisville (away from the airport). Go about a half mile to a traffic light. The park will be on your left. We have a covered shelter in case of rain, and we have a good record of people showing up in all weather!

RTSFS plans to provide:

Bring a side dish to share or something special for yourself.

It would be great if someone who's planning to arrive early could volunteer to bring a few drinks and a cooler of ice.

We can check out horseshoes, volleyballs, badminton, and softball equipment at no extra charge if they're available.

This is a family-friendly event, and dogs on leashes are welcome as well!

The forecast is looking good; however, since we have a shelter reserved, the event will happen rain or shine regardless.

RTSFS Email Lists

The RTSFS email lists are your most immediate source for updated club news (depending on how often you check your e-mail, of course) as well as a forum for lively discussion about all things related to the club and to speculative fiction in general. All you need to supply is your name and email address. Two different lists are available, and are described on the sign-up page. If you're already a member, you can read the lists or change your settings.
