REAL LIFE NEWS: FAN WARS

by Hazed

Sometimes news stories leap out of my browser at me and beg to be including in the Fed2 Star. This is one such story.

Police had to be called to a science fiction convention to break up an argument between Star Wars fans and Doctor Who fans.

The showdown happened at the fourth Norwich Sci-Fi and Film Convention, being held at the University of East Anglia, in England.

The event was organised by the Norwich Star Wars Club, but members of the rival Norwich Sci-Fi Club gatecrashed the event in search of autographs from two Doctor Who actors who were attending and an altercation ensued: light sabre versus sonic screwdriver. Since some of the attendees were in costume this must have looked highly amusing.

Presumably the police used the force to stop the trouble...
