Maybe I'm thinking too small scale here, but an art gallery for those creating sci fi fan art of their own. A place to display them would be great other than these garbage free pic hosting sites. Allow voting or comments much like the Fark.com photoshop contests. Heck, let's have scifi themed photoshop contests. I love those.

I think, as a premium service, if we could have a professional screenplay writer or whatnot come on to a chatroom to give tips and tricks to writing a screenplay. This, of course, would be for subscribers or those who pay a one-time fee. I dunno who we could get, but I know some people here have ties. The same sort of idea could go for people interested in indie filmmaking, comic art, editing, etc. Talk about a great way to get traffic (and money).

As for working for you, I am interested. I am a web developer, writer, graphic designer, and proofreader. When I get some good electronic copies of my artwork, I'll forward them to you. I have them all as Quark or Illustrator docs right now. I just need to decide which to send and create pdfs of them so as not to kill your inbox.

On that note, maybe a place where we can create custom advertising that can be sent out to scifi sites and fanzines. Voting can take place for each ad to see which we use at a given time or with a given theme in mind. If done as press releases with related images attached, there usually is no need to pay advertising fees. At least not initially. As we become solvent, we could take out quality ads in these pubs and sites.
