July Challenge! (for kill_dr_weir )

Yes, tis the season for cookouts, hotdogs, burgers on buns, camping, mosquitoes, cases of beer, and Patriotism.

The July Challenge is:

Write a Holiday story involving the Fourth of July - serious, silly, campy (pun intended) or in whatever mood you'd like.

If you'd like to have your Challenge narrowed down...

*have the characters camping out (on a planet, on Atlantis, etc)
*at a cookout (alien or otherwise)
*dealing with their respective Patriotisms (American, Canadian and otherwise)

Have fun!

Oh - and yes, this goes for those wallpaper artists and icon makers as well!

Question

Does anyone know of any good Forum groups for Medium? Or The Dead Zone? Or Archives for the same? I'm going to do some googling, but I thought I'd ask - I'm not that great at sniffing out good groups and forums for anything other than Stargate.
