New Year's Resolutions

Through diligent reporting (i.e. spying, reading private diaries and cornering characters at drunken new year's eve parties) The WSFA Journal has been able to bring you the following New Year's Resolutions:

I will not jump out of any more windows - John Sheridan of Babylon Five

I will end the Wheel of Time Series sometime this century - Robert Jordan

I will admit to being a science fiction writer - Kurt Vonnegut, Margaret Atwood, Ursula LeGuin, etc.

We will replace half of our licensed books with backlist titles and out of print SF classics - Publishers of science fiction

We will not have any more aliens cut off all ties to their homeworld and past - Producers of Deep Space Nine

I won't insist on always being the one who saves the universe. - Ender (in Orson Scot Card's books)

I vow to write lots of articles and draw lots of cartoons for the WSFA Journal - The members of WSFA

I will not let my ancestors determine my actions, oh and I will stop using so much spice - Alia Atreides of the Dune Books.

We will not invade Earth again- aliens from practically all of 1996's SF movies (Independence Day, Mars Attacks and even Star Trek: First Contact)

I will read criminals their rights before destroying them - E. E. Doc Smith's Kimball Kinnson

I will talk to other people before jumping to conclusions - practically any Mercedes Lackey character.

I will confess my secret ambition to be a history professor - Harry Turtledove

Come on, you know he wouldn't agree to that. Even if he said it his heart wouldn't be in it.
