Scott Lowell The Scott Lowell site has been updated and the November Q&A does not disappoint... Scott talks about some of his past work, what it's like to be back on the set of QAF, and about his future aspirations as well. He also addresses a question about Internet 'spoilers' with his usual dose of humor. (Thanks Annie and Scott!)

The Official Showtime Web site for QAF has lots of new offerings this month, including the 2003 wall calendars, Christmas cards and fun gifts, and pre-ordering of the Season 2 DVD/VHS box set (scheduled for release on February 25, 2003), which comes with a free, limited edition RAGE Gay Crusader comic book, and a chance to win $15,000 worth of Sony electronics. There is also a Fan Fiction contest being launched, and an album entitled, "KISS 4 KISS" with a series of intimate moments from season 2 available for viewing [note: for those outside of the U.S. who cannot access the Showtime Web site, try using The Cloak for anonymous surfing. Simply enter the URL for the Showtime site on the above login page, and... voila! You're in!]

QAF logoAlso available in February 2003 is the first in a series of three novels from Publisher Pocket Books based on characters from QAF, which will reportedly be followed by a companion book. The first is called Every Nine Seconds: A Queer as Folk Novel by Joseph Brockton, and is available for pre-order at BarnesandNoble.com. You may remember some of the very first words uttered in episode 101 by narrator Michael Novotny: "They say men think about sex every 28 seconds. Of course, that's straight men. For gay men it's every nine." [sadly, 'every nine seconds' is also a commonly reported statistic for the incidence of domestic violence against women in the United States].

Jennifer Elster Jennifer Elster, who wrote, produced, directed and starred opposite Gale Harold in the film Particles of Truth, says that the movie is about life, love and the fear of failing. Gale plays Morrison, and Jennifer plays Lilli, both trying to make something of themselves in spite of where they've come from. Morrison is an obsessive compulsive guy who falls in love with, and wants to rescue Lilli. Jennifer says Gale is very good and very cute in this film. Sounds like a winner to me! An official Web site is in the works... stay tuned!
