Category: Ask The Bureau Anonymous Coward writes, Science fiction that didn't forget the science... www.comerstheseries.com This has been in the sub queue for about a week now. I had planned to watch the episodes before I posted it, but I didn't have time. (I'm guessing it's the same for the other authors, since it was there for about a week.) At any rate, I'm sure at least one of our viewers will have time to take a look at this blatant ad and let us know if it's worth the precious time of the rest of us.

blatant ad. Wow, I'm flattered.

Nope it's not an ad for anything. The entire web series is just that, a web series. All 15 episodes will be posted there for free. We don't even have sponsors or ads on the site, just links to the sites that have been friendly enough to link to us. (that includes you guys, though I wouldn't call that link exactly friendly) thanks for the mention though

Thanks for the clarification. Sorry about the attitude; most of the anonymous coward submissions we get that are just links to something tend to charge people for what they provide, and they often aren't even genre. (There's a remarkable number of lawyers who try to advertise through us.) Your site did look like stuff that's actually on topic here, though, which is why I posted the link anyway.

So, has anyone watched the episodes yet?

Lessons to Learn from this:

IF you want to advertise your site, Register, Log In, Submit, and be on Topis. Seems common sense, but lawyers?(must be the word Bureau throwing off their bots.)

Be very clear what you're linking to... Maybe that's not important for WB.com, but CoMers is sufficiently obscure and unknown that the description didn't do it justice.

As for the episodes, I haven't actually watched through one yet, but the background information isn't bad... I'll be checking out the episodes as soon as I have time.
